I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

The only problem I'd have with it is if Griff gets hurt. I told Blib I'd be paying him a visit if that was the case. ;\)

Commissioner's Note
Everyone on here I think already knows my trade policy. I will generally approve all trades unless I know there's collusion or I'm convinced that there's been a mistake involved. Also, the following is the schedule of when trades are effected and the new players show up on your rosters:

Day 0 - Trade agreement is reached between the two players and it shows up on Yahoo.
Day 1 - Trade is approved.
Day 2 - New players appear on your roster.

In the case of the recent trade between BL and JG, Day 0 is today (4/16). I'll approve it tomorrow (4/17). The new players show up on their rosters the day after (4/18).

The one day lag between when a trade is accepted and the trade is approved by me is to give me time to see the trade. In case I don't see it right away (i.e. I don't see it until Day 1 instead of Day 0), I'll approve the trade right away.

So you're saying the next BB get-together location is undecided pending Griffey's season injury status

After 4 starts I've learned my lesson. Sabathia is killing me. -68 now for the season? I'm pretty sure he's the worst fantasy player in the league to start the year.

There's no way I could give up! I love this game and this league. It's awfully discouraging though when your, supposedly, number one pitcher is throwing like a little leaguer. I was lucky last year and didn't have to deal with pitcher injuries/disasters so this is a new hurdle for me.

Anyway, enough whining from me. For today at least ;\)

Pat Burrell is now hitting over .380 with 6 HRs, and 17 RBIs. How long do you think this will last? He must think he's playing the Mets every night. \:\)

Damn, wish that trade had gone thru immediately so I'd've gotten Griff's homer today. ;\)

I've never played in a keeper league, but I think it would be interesting. There are a bunch of different variations, but the version I've heard most frequently used generally follows the set of rules below:

- Year 1: everybody drafts and plays the year as normal (trades, free agents, etc...)

- Start of Year 2: Each team declares three players they want to keep for the next year. You draft the players that you want to keep in the draft slot you chose them in Year 1 (e.g. if you drafted Ryan Braun in Round 10 in Year 1, your Round 10 pick in Year 2 will be Braun as well). If you decide to keep a free agent pickup from Year 1, you give up a late round pick. I don't really know what round you give up if you decide to keep someone you traded for.

- Year 2: Play as normal.

- Start of Year 3: Same "keeper" process except if you keep a player for the 2nd year in a row, his draft spot will be the Year 1 draft slot divided by 2 (e.g. if you decide to keep Braun again, you'll have to pick him in the 5th round).

- Year 3: Play as normal.

I'd be interested in a keeper league. The difficulty with doing it on the GBB is the turnover involved.

Any interest in making this year 1 of a keeper league? \:D

As I thought about it some more, it wouldn't be right to switch mid-season to a keeper league, because our draft strategies would have been different at the start of the year.

Perhaps it's something we can consider next year.

my "draft strategy", if you want to believe I had one, would be way more effective if this was a keeper league (I even joked about it in the draft chat room) so I'm all about it!

does anyone else think that adding a few more teams to the league turned the draft upside down? I definitely wasn't prepared for that change. the great players just vanished!

now, seriously, I would really like starting a keeper league, but do we have enough members for a long term commitment?

And would that mean we have to have two leagues, one keeper and one regular for those who don't want to commit for more than a year?

You guys are hilarious. We're not even out of April yet! Plaw would be so proud... \:D

Less is more... One league (keeper or non-keeper) is more than enough, in my opinion.

I played in one for a couple of years back in the mid-90's. A couple of guys lost interest, and that was that. I also played in a "Strat-O-Matic" keeper league years ago. That was interesting.
