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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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?

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

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).
They say it don't be like it is, but it do!
