QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 09:07 AM) Also, we should probably enforce some sort of rule so that you can only keep players for so many years. 3 is a good number. How does the rest of the league feel on this? I think it's a very important topic we should iron out. I don't mind having a 3 year limit, but we have to make sure people stay on top of it and keep it monitored.

Draft time is good for me

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 11:06 AM) that's much more convenient than the league I played in last year.. had to have 10 or 15 starts before eligible. I had beckham and had to wait a while to slot him in at 3b I play in a Dynasty league on CBS, and the requirements are 25 starts before you become eligible at a new position.

I'm in. now, how do we claim our keepers?

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 01:29 AM) Looks nice to me.. i'd kill for that team in my money league, Gordon will be 2b eligible about 2 weeks into the season.. I think standard rule is after 10 appearances. I'm not sure how Yahoo works though. Per Yahoo rules:

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Feb 14, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) As was I. How many keepers was it again? 2 hitters, 2 pitchers, 1 other? According to the League 2 thread, you are correct. 2 hitters, 2 pitchers, 1 wildcard.

Per Rotoworld: According to Chuck Garifen of Chicago's Comcast SportsNet, free agent outifelder Jermaine Dye told Frank Thomas he's considering retirement. "That's what he told me and I told him he's crazy," Thomas said Friday. Dye has drawn very little interest on the open market this winter and is obviously frustrated. The 35-year-old hit 27 homers in 2009 and posted a .302/.375/.567 batting line over the first half of the 2009 season, but he stumbled to a .179/.293/.297 line over his final 212 at-bats.

Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone are finalists for the 2010 Hall of Fame.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 12, 2010 -> 11:39 AM) So they will honor Frank Thomas on a day when a decent percentage of folks will be cheering for the other team.... Why not do this to sell tickets to a game against a s***ty team? I agree, it sucks that it's against the Yankees, especially because it jacks the price of the tickets up. But I just couldnt pass up missing this, and I just purchased a few tickets. Can't wait!

MHizzle85 is the commish for league 2

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Some solid players on on that list he gave like Tommy Hanson. His team was sick last year to say the least. Pretty sure he was autopicked too, I know I was but I liked my draft. My first 9 or 10 picks were autopicked, but I was able to jump in and draft the rest of my team. Luckily, my pre-rankings worked out pretty well, and i got most the players i wanted. But getting a steal like Grienke in the middle rounds, picking up guys like Tommy Hansen during the season, and most importantly, staying injury free all added up to a great season for me.

I was 10 when he came to the majors, and called him "Frank Thompson". ha. Frank made watching White Sox baseball fun. Can't wait to see him in the Hall.

Tom Glavine retired today, and will join the Braves front office

Good news on Rose, Per Rotoworld: The MRI on Derrick Rose's hip showed no significant damage and he's going to make the trip to Dallas for All-Star weekend. Rose will be re-evaluated on Saturday, so owners are not out of the woods yet. But the X-rays were negative and the fact that the Bulls are letting him go to Dallas is a great sign. We're tentatively expecting Rose to play when come out of the break on Tuesday. Feb. 11 - 1:15 pm et

Sweet. I'm looking to defend my title... My keepers: Utley, Braun, Grienke Players i'd be willing to trade: Adrian Gonzales, Matt Holliday, Carlos Lee, Clayton Kershaw, John Lackey, Ryan Zimmerman Let me know if you are looking to acquire any of those names

Yahoo has opened the fantasy baseball leagues recently. League 2 is still a keeper league, right?

Not really a surprise, but Derrick Rose has been chosen as one of the 27 players on the U.S. National Team roster. Returning from the last team are: Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Anthony, Howard, Deron Williams and Boozer. Espn link to story

If Thames is healthy, he wouldn't have been a bad idea to have him in the mix for DH. You know, it cracks me up every time I see one of your posts because i get to see one of my real good friends as your avatar.

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) From an interview with Putz by Chuck Garfien on csnchicago.com... ------------------------------------------------- "But when he walks to the mound at U.S. Cellular Field when the season begins, he’s going to need a new song announcing his arrival. Putz has always used “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, but that's been the White Sox team song since their 2005 World series title. So, clearly Putz needs a new song and hes asking you for suggestions. That's right...you! Email me your ideas ([email protected]) and I’ll be sure to pass them along to J.J. If he chooses your song, you'll get White Sox tickets for this season!" ------------------------------------------------- Interesting interview as well. Sounds like it was a cool contest, but the winner was chosen on January 28th. His new song is "The Razor's Edge" by AC/DC.

Urlacher, Kreutz and Hester were named to the 2000 All Decade Team
