Commish Notes

  • Gentlemen, we have three weeks to go. Joe looks to have this all wrapped up. He has pretty much dominated for 80% of the season. Just when he starts to slip a bit, he makes a key acquisition or two and pulls away (damn you Mark Reynolds, where were you the rest of the season!).

    The battle for 2nd place has really heated up with Dewey pulling into the race and even Easton creeping up. 6 points separate 4 teams.

    The English rookie leads the rest of the pack and has had an impressive rookie season. There is still reason to fight for the guys in the bottom half (besides perhaps Chris W. who gets a pass due to his upcoming Daddy status. He can still pass Turbs for primary beer bitch status next year). I on the other hand am a compulsive fantasy addict making adds/drops while helping my wife push in the labor room, haha.

    Reasons to fight till the end:

    -Pride
    -Money- top 8 get paid.....550+trophy, 300, 200, 100, 75, 50, 25, 20

    Good luck rest of the way.

  • Well, we have reached the half way mark- thought this was a good time for a quick recap. We've seen several leaders in the first half, with Joe occupying the top spot for most of the last 2 months. His lead has been built through excellent drafting, great insider tips from one Adam Jones!, and savvy moves throughout the year (including trading for McDonald and Parker to bolster his staff =) ). Joe has a ridiculous point total of 121.5 and is in great shape heading into the 2nd half.

    The good news for the rest of us is that there are 9 guys within 45 points of 2nd place. That is incredible. 45 seems like a lot, but it really only takes 1-2 good weeks paired with 1-2 bad weeks for someone in front of you to make the leap. Take Mikey for example- he went from last place to 4th (a few days ago) in a couple of week timeframe.

    Not that I think this is an issue, but no one should be even thinking of calling it quits at this point...especially given our payout structure this year (I believe we are paying top 8 to some extent, and 11-12 become co beer bitches). So, there's incentive for everyone. With that said, the keeper structure also encourages people to stay active and make moves for the future. Also, need to think about where you are in innings compared to others around you. Finally, pride is the biggest factor. I don't think many of us care about the money more than we do the pride factor in this league and the friendly competition.

    Any questions, hit me up. We are keeping 2 guys for up to 2 years (drafted in round 6 or later). I regret only doing 2 because that is not enough, but we can always adjust next year.

    So, let's keep the league active and have an awesome 2nd half.
