I like it. Would rather be in Austin though.

And I don't know how the admins will feel about 2 in-game threads. We may just chill in this one.

Anyone tailgating opening day at RBiA? Thinking about doing that even though I don't have tix this year.

Might have to watch out if you do plan on tailgating. I read the other day that they are planning on cracking down on people who don't have tickets that are tailgating since it takes up parking spots.

Whats up gentlemen!

Take comfort in knowing that no matter how good or bad this season is, we are always going to be better than the Astros...

My work is a 10 minute walk to the ballpark. I'll be pissed if they do that.

This is my first year trying fantasy baseball. I just drafted and had no idea what I was doing. Anyone here an expert who can tell me if I fricked up?

Looks pretty stout. 10-12 person league?

You basically want to look at all of the varying stat categories that your league is using. Average, RBIs, HRs and SBs are all pretty standard. Try to find the balance on your team, and if you see you're lacking in something week to week compare players with similar output that might get more SB, etc. Your lineup will likely be fluid as hell.

Also, because of all of the days off, utility guys that are on the books as 2B/SS/3B can be invaluable if they're getting regular playing time, because you can plug them in anywhere.

You have some guys that will put up some pretty gaudy numbers if they stay healthy. Don't underestimate how much a RP can have an effect on your ERA, etc. If they start tanking find someone else with the quickness, because those are a dime a dozen.
