We need to talk to them BEFORE we ask the guys to vote.  I might be wrong but I think most of our guys want the waiver system cleaned up.  If we are to spend money, I'd prefer CBS.   

If we PAY I'd prefer CBS.  If Pay Frantrax isn't better I'd prefer free Fantrax.  It's up to the group.  We need to to research both better.

Good job, Joe

Guys, due to our inability to make contact with our potential Fantasy boards at the moment, we will have to delay our decision which service to use and if we want to pay.

Ray is asking for more time, which we have granted.

In the meanwhile, what adjustments to our rosters do we wish to make?  It's been suggested that we expand a bit.  JR has made his annual whine to drop to one catcher, which was denied.  Some leagues are reducing pitchers to 7; one closer, 1 RP, 5 SPs.   Here it has been recommended to expand to more pitchers.   I could see adding some utility players to help balance the pitching points, but we're willing to listen to suggestions.  Post here, at BBFL, or via email.

The league is already stretched thin for hitters that are decent.  If we are add more hitters it is going to be so much harder to find replacement players on the waiver wire.

Ducks head.  If we add a pitcher we could decrease the strike out penalty to balance points.

To me, that's what divides the top tier from the bottom.  Can you draft some surprises, some guys who can move into a role if one of your stars go down.  OR, can you find someone in the scrap heap that can get you 350 points.

During the draft and early moves sure.  At the end of season it is already spin the wheel for what horrible player do I want.  Take another 30+ players off top and it would be painful to find something useful unless you are lucky enough for it to be a UT or OF.  Outside of that it is just bad, horrible if it is a catcher.

For fantasy purposes, the Yankees have until Sunday night to add the additional year to Cole’s contract (from what I have seen so far)…
