my draft targets are dropping like flies...looks like I'll turn to Mark Eichhorn TOR

Damn, really was counting on him, meant to protect him instead of Ward in rnd 3 but when i sent sitemail I couldnt remember lol, good pick up!

Guys, we had a tree come down on our house in a storm last night so we're dealing with that nonsense. (Plus we're heading out on vacation today.) We'll pick later today. Given the tridentric is still MIA, we're not really slowing us down too much.

Hope all is well, jose.  Yeah...in a holding pattern anyway with tridentric away.  Hopefully we can get this finished up by tomorrow.

Really annoyed with shaybee.  First I wanted Mitchell and then Stargell and he nabs them both right before me.  I'll settle for Andre Dawson - Expos

Sorry - having lost both Sheffield and Drew earlier, I figured I needed to take Pops there.  Of course the fact that both Carty and Murphy went after that means I probably should have protected one of them instead...

It kind of amazes me how frequently Rico is left unprotected, honestly.

Yea, even w/ 1990 Eddie Murray (a classic overachiever in WIS), I couldn't pass on taking Clark from the Dodgers arch enemy~

Hope jose gets his pick in today...may not have much access tomorrow.

Sorry guys.  In crisis mode and no internet access to boot.  We'll take Carlos Guillen, SS, Detroit Tigers.

Got it.  Will finish building my team tonight and try to get the league created before bed.  Hope all is well at the homestead, jose.

League number sitemailed to everyone.  I'll be on vacation this week and relying on my phone for access.  Should be able to flip the switch with no problem. 

Here are the new franchise totals, after season 33...  The playoff teams from season 33 are highlighted...

28	Dodgers	14	1216	1053	0.5359		0.5349	27	(1)
29	A's	15	1325	1106	0.5450		0.5399	29	0
30	Astros	15	1345	1086	0.5533		0.5487	30	0

A negataive number in the "difference" in rank column typically means the team had a good season and it's overall draft slot has declined.  A positive number means the team had a poor season and the draft slot improved.  A team like the Cubs, which didn't participate in Season 33 moved up 3 spots in the draft order just because the three teams (Mets, Indians, Cardinals) that were ahead of them all moved down (due to good seasons).
