Ron and Joe:

This is really impressive. Packed with good stuff again, and the look is really clean and inviting. A tip of the hat to Aaron and Justin for the previews, too: provocative opinions and fun reading ... well done, all!

[bschr682]

Good stuff fellas.

[ae37jr]

Outstanding as always.

I actually don't hate our predictions this season. I think we can do a little better but maybe that's just my homer opinion. With 8 rookies and 5 second year players, this is probably "our figure it out" year.

Crazy. Just crazy a league exists that does this. Great work, everyone. Special thanks to Ron, Joe, Aaron, and Justin.

Niiiice!

Really enjoyed your submission...it was equal parts "Shoeless' personality" (which is a great additional to the eclectic mix of our GMs) and "that feeling when you get the call," something all of us can relate to.

[CTBrewCrew]

Even this guy approves...

[StormZ_23]

I appreciate Ron's note about what a bookstore is, way before my time.

Great stuff guys! As usual when this comes out, not much getting done in the office the next day or so.

Based on this we must get a BBA media guide every day...

I'm on my second office since you left....I still work harder than the people in our old office!

NOTICE OF LATE ADDITION!!!


Due to an email screw up of some sort, I messed up and did not get Scott's ever-cool 5-season draft hindsight into the original edition. I've since remedied this, and updated the document. Many apologies to Scott for the slight!

[aaronweiner]

Losing Jim Armstrong is something I don't lament at all, really. Without Martin or someone like him, I don't win two titles in a row, probably. The fact that Armstrong turned into one of the best pitchers in the BBA is cool, but where I was drafting I wouldn't have gotten him if he were like that when I drafted him. So the whole thing turned out surprisingly well for everyone.

lol... In no way your fault.

It's hard to see exactly tell what a player's ratings were going back that far when there were traded. But it looks like he took a serious bump after being traded. It's hard to predict those things and your results speak themselves.

Still, there has to be a little regret... right?

[RonCo]

It's hard to cry with regret when you've got two recent Landis trophies on glinting on the mantle shelf.

[FuzzyRawley]

That's a work of art right there. I'm going to print off the UMEBA projections and frame them when I win the league (or just pretend I never said this if they are right).
