Two down and four to go!!!!


The Royal Review Fantasy Baseball Keeper League has completed the first two months of it's inaugural season.   With all the discussion before the draft about the new teams having an unfair advantage and that the real life draft order would weaken the league's winning teams, the standings prove all of that wrong.   Leading the way is the maniacal Marbot Crush returning from his 7th place finish of last season.  Focs is 5.5 games back in second place (first pick in the draft.)    Mr Daddy is in 3rd followed by NYRoyal and his revolving door team in 4th.  They are 7 and 7.5 games back of the Crush.  One new team in the top 4 does seem to validate the draft type and order.  From 5th to 20th only 11 games seperate the teams in the win column.  So, I think it is safe to say that we have parity in this league.   Now if someone could crush that MC Hammer team we could all breathe a little easier.  I hope all the managers are enjoying the league and will stay active throughout the remainder of the season.   Suggestions for next season would be to expand the rosters to 25 players so a team could pick up rookies before the come up to the bigs.  Also, we may put a cap on the number of moves a team could make in a season.  If you have any other ideas just let me know.  Good luck ... and remember for summer fun...Crush the Crush....

Wooo

fun league.. im surprised im 2nd considering the pitching that was left when i was drafting when everyone had keepers.. i really picked guys that are having great years like Jurrgens.. I was 1st for a little but feel back and damn NY got me this week but i’ll get that top spot sooner or later

Good luck everyone

Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.

I've got a suggestion

Move it to ESPN.com, so we don’t hav eto pay to see how our team is performing on a daily basis. I haven’t paid much attention to this league, and I apologize for that, because yahoo is so damn un-user friendly. I joined the Royals Nation league also and I’ve been much more active (and successful) in that league as it is easier to follow your teams progress/set lineups/use the waiver wire/etc

BOOM! ROASTED!

Is it really that h ard to just wait until the next morning?

I mean, really?

Do you really need the minute-by-minute confirmation of a HR?

I hate ESPN’s setup, personally. But that may be just me.

If only I had a competent SS I wouldn't be 19th

Orlando Cabrera you suck!

Any of you with an extra SS look me up. I have OF and pitching to spare.

And just to let you know, David Price is not untouchable, but that offer has to be damn good.
