I'm thinking about punting a category with my keepers. It's a tough decision but as the champion I won't complain. When do I get my trophy?

It's in the mail. I just guessed where you live.

Jeez Zak, your worst keeper is probably better then my top player.

Well I wouldn't go that far but yeah it was tough. I'm letting some really good players back on the market. If this was more keepers I'd have wrapped the 2013 championship up already.

Overconfident much? I'm sure BF and I could have proclaimed the same thing after our championship years and we didn't repeat.

I like to talk smack in this league. You guys get worked up over it for nothing.

Then apparently you, like D, conflate "getting worked up" and "returning the smack talk."

Once upon a time, I thought trading Max Scherzer for Heath Bell was a good idea. And everyone went batshit crazy trying to veto it.

I miss Max.

Uggh that is a good point. Won't happen again. Double uggghhh the more I think about what I did.

[KCJ58]

I have to say this keeper deadline wasn't as enforced as I thought it would be, I suppose the draft will start Sunday or Monday hopefully.

Not a bad group of keepers, PF.

I expected worse.

[Xiomera]

We're only waiting on vacation boy (D) to post his final list of keepers.

I'm assuming everyone has the same 12 keepers entered on Yahoo as the ones they said they were keeping in this thread ...

You would assume wrong. But I'll fix that.

[Xiomera]

I cannot see if people have entered their keepers on Yahoo. If you haven't yet, you better do so now.

I asked you if you'll be doing that or if we just need to post our keepers here. You said "I'll take care of everything." I haven't entered mine yet over their because of that.

Damn fact checkers.

Honestly, I don't know how it works. Last year I entered your keepers in because Yahoo didn't have a carryover keeper option before. I suspect it'll be easiest if you all do, in fact, enter your own.

It's not the greatest collection of talent, and it helped having Victor on my bench all last year after acquiring him following his injury and I got Lincecum for a good deal.
