    Is there somewhere on our site that lists the locked down lineups for each day? Like, when the first game of the day starts and you can't make any more adjustments...I assume CBS records your lineup at this time - but does it display somewhere?

     

    I ask this because I had Livan Hernandez (thank you waiver wire for 4 hit, 1 run complete game :D) in my lineup for tonight, then was making adjustments for tomorrow and benched him. Later, I went back to the live scoring page to check for any updates. Livan and his gem were no longer listed. Eventhough I'm 99% sure I wouldn't, I don't want to run the risk of losing his start, so I returned him to the starting lineup (and now he reappears on the live scoring page).

     

    I know I'm worrying needlessly, but I could use some tender reassurance right now. :o

    What started out as a simple joke in my very non-competitive, nobody-cares-who-wins, hometown friends Sandbox league turned into the blockbuster of the century.

     

    I give:

    Bonds

    JD Drew

    Nomar

    Alfonzo

    E Milton

    C: R Martinez, Oak

     

    I get:

    Pedro

    M Morris

    Sosa

    Furcal

    J Ortiz

    T Hall

     

    My lineup after the deal:

    C: T Hall

    1B: Bagwell

    2B: Vidro / Ortiz

    3B: Nevin / (waiver on Blalock in the process)

    SS: Furcal / Mark McLemore

    IF UT: McGriff / Ortiz

    OF: Sosa

    OF: A Dunn

    OF: Cruz Jr

    UT OF: C Lee / M Cameron / McLemore

     

    SP: Pedro

    SP: Vasquez

    SP: Morris

    SP: Zito

    SP: Oswalt

    Bench SPs: Padilla / Halladay / Pavano / Wolf

    RP: Nenn

    RP: Strickland

     

    I know I'm getting jobbed pretty badly in the deal and wouldn't have done it in a serious league (especially roto scoring), but if Pedro gets healthy, that's one fierce rotation! :D Sandbox is so heavily weighted towards starting pitching that I could get all my hitting off waivers and still have a shot at the championship with these SPs.

     

    Good times, good times.

    The Mighty, Mighty Heat

     

    C: Lo Duca - hoping he can come within 10-15% of last year

    1B: J Giambi - money in the bank

    2B: F Vina - solid AVG, runs, steals. drafted late so not expecting much

    SS: A-Rod - even more money in the bank

    3B: Cirillo - AVG, runs, and a handful of steals

    MI: Izturis/Vazquez - steals and offensive stats that won't hurt

    CI: S Burroughs - hope the hype pans out

    OF: B Willians - steady as they go

    OF: J Dye - 25-30 jacks, .300 avg, 100 runs, 110 RBIs. praying to the injury god

    OF: C Everett - hoping new team returns Carl to the .300, 30 jack, 100+ RBI, 20+ steals group

    OF: J Burnitz - jacks, RBIs, runs

    OF: T Long - avg, runs, and improving power

    OF: J Tyner - steals, steals, steals

    SP: M Mulder - great WHIP, ERA, and wins...solid Ks

    SP: R Oswalt - even better WHIP, ERA, and Ks

    SP: J Lieber - another solid 4 cat SP

    SP: J Weaver - keeps getting better, solid ERA and WHIP, needs to get lucky run support for decent Ws

    SP: M Buerle - decent WHIP and ERA, pencil in 15 wins

    SP: R Halladay - young, unproven, but with potential to mow people down

    SP: D Lowe - who knows, was a 'decent' starter a few years back

    SP: J Johnson - good stuff, little experience, horrible team. welcome to the bench

    RP: D Graves - hoping he stays in the pen - 30+ saves, Ks

    RP: P Quantrill - Herges is gone, LA hasn't traded for Alfonseca yet, hope Quantrill makes his mark

    RP: M Remlinger - Smoltz already admitted he wasn't ready for the season yet, doubt he'll stay healthy all year. Good WHIP, ERA, Ks regardless

    Bench: D Ortiz - heres hoping Mienkewitz (sp) gets hurt and Ortiz subs 5 games early.

     

     

    A solid roster, IMO. Love my SPs, tanked my RPs. Offensively, should be competitive in avgs, runs, RBIs, and steals. Probably looking at middle of the pack at best for HRs. I like my chances at a top 4 finish.

    It was already decided prior to last season in tj's league rules. Some people have just needed some clarification (like myself, when I drafted David Ortiz this season). A few have voiced displeasure with the rule, but nobody, to my knowledge, has pushed to get a league vote to change it.

    I'm really hoping that one pans out. I'll officially be moved to Alexandria, VA this Friday. Haven't had a baseball team worth rooting for since the Tigers took the series in '84!

    Just wanted to let everyone know that Jose Canseco was invited to the Expos camp.

     

    I felt I would be unduly skewing the league's competitive balance without reporting this and giving you ample time to adjust your first round selections.
