It's that time of year, and it is a special one.  10 years of CigarGeeks Fantasy Baseball.  Congrats to Nirab for going Back2Back and winning 2021 and 2022, our second 2 time champ!

Same rules as always, 11 sticks.  10 for the end of year winner, 1 super premium for the All-Star Break.  Everything went super smooth last year and everyone paid, so we are starting on a good note.  Deadline on smokes will be Jun. 1.

What would you guys think about adding a little flair this year?  We could do a rotating trophy for the winner if we all kicked in about $15-20.  Or if you have any other ideas that could be fun this year, throw them out there.

I will consider adding players if somebody drops out or if there are pairs so we can keep an even number and not have bye weeks. There will have to be some feedback or referrals to join as we have had non-payers before.

Scheduling auto draft for the 28th to give everyone time to set order and then a day before Opening Day to set rosters unless someone has an issue.

Looks like everyone re-upped!  So unless we have a pair ask to join we are rolling here.

Everybody good on drafting next week?

So the draft wrapped up last night, what does everybody think?  For right now I'm  :confused: about my chances.

I'm pretty happy.  Light on high end pitching but we shall see.  Good luck fellas!

Pitching is a worry. Mostly solid hitters. Not overly confident, time will tell

The start of the season really snuck up on me this year. 
Play ball!

I have a player on the IL (drafted that way...very annoying) and another who left the 1st game with an IL possible injury.  A few pitchers looked good but this is going to be a tougher year I feel.  At least the Pirates are undefeated for you still.

All this hand wringing from the guy who put up the most day 1 points in the league.   :tongue:

I was drafted a guy on the IL too and my team underperformed day 1. It's difficult to gauge this early in the season. I figure wins in the first few weeks are luck based. Who knows which guys will break out.

Also because most of my starters went day 1.  I don't have a baseball Phd. but it is going to be feast or famine with my squad this year.

Got my butt destroyed in week one. Was on vacation so didn't address my inept team much.
Could be a very looooong season if my pitching doesn't wake the eff up.
