Did you have to pick up MacDougal, Dallas? I've been eyeing him for a few weeks now. Figured he'd be a better pitcher on the DL than Burgos would've been actually pitching in games.
Burgos is available now in our league, by the way...
Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

I had to pickup Mac after Burgos blew his 3rd save in a row....I also, with my lack of closers needed someone who would at least grab a few saves. Sorry bout that.
Word from the Royals is that they're gonna rotate closers until Mac returns from the DL....early June I believe.

I suppose offering you Matsui would not be good ? Figures, the guy plays 13 years without missing a game and he gets on my team and is gone for the year.

In the past 3 or so weeks my team has risen from the dead. I was in 11th place with 88 pts. and as of this morning I'm up to 5th place with 124.5 pts. Hopefully the trend continues.
On another note, some guys are really getting close to their maximum innings pitched for the year. Be careful, stats wont count after you excede the 1400 innings limit ( the limit is normally only 1200 but I bumped it up thinking it would serve us better. )

Yep, I've noticed your team on the rise - maybe you have a second half team there! I don't think a lot of the guys realize there are maximum innings...
And, I have never seen so many adds and drops by some teams! One league I am in caps your moves for the entire season at 30 - I like that rule, it makes you really think about your transactions.
I havnt really checked to see if there were any leagues started up for this year but wanted to know if anyone was interested in getting the same type of deal going that we had in this one last year ?
It seemed to go pretty well last year ( congrats again ctsoxfan ) and if we can get the same guys signed up or at least enough for the league I would set it all up again.

Thanks bri - I would definitely be in with the same crew for another season. I have held off joining any other leagues mentioned here on CU figuring that we might do just that. Count me in, and let me know if I can help you with anything.
Its getting a little late to start tonight but tomorrow when I get in from work I'll put the league together with the same rules as last year and start sending out invites.

If you have a RP, it's probably Burgos, who blew a nice 3 run lead in the 9th yeasterday.

I still can't crack 4th place in the league.
