Playoffs are a contrived abomination. The winner of this year will be the fake team that has acquired the most left handed midwesterners.

I'll set us up the playoffs. We have the option of 4, 6 or 8 teams making the "post season." I think the Top 4 should suffice for playoffs in a 10-team league.
Then I'll flick whatever switch is necessary to get us to draftin'.
In my mind it's a lever that sticks up from the floor, like the one Conan O'Brien pulled to activate a Walker, Texas Ranger clip.

Our league status has been updated to "Ready to Draft."
Turns out it was much easier than I thought. My hardhat and goggles were completely unnecessary.

Your auto draft will be completed between now and 11:59 PM PT on Tuesday, Apr 6. So, possibly after 3 days of baseball? For shame, yahoo. |

Which team? I tweaked my draft preferences and my hitters seem inordinately stacked to me. |

So were you trying to dominate the SB category or did it just turn out that way? |

You're a Cards fan, right? So I'm guessing it's the young and youngish AL players whom you've never heard of. Adam Lind had a breakout year in 2009. He's a near-elite power hitter. Julio Borbon is a fast guy who has hit above .300 at every level above rookie ball. He should lead off for the Rangers, score a lot of runs, and steal a lot of bases. Denard Span should do the same for the Twins--although he is not as fast may not steal all that many bases in their new park. Brett Anderson is an ace-in-the-making for the Athletics. Michael Wuertz is a good pitcher, but basically useless in this league unless Oakland's closer is injured or traded |

Our resident economist employed an interesting strategy and drafted arguably the best starting pitcher and reliever in the first two rounds.

The Fightin' Phlogistons field the all-prospect team with Stephen Strasburg, Jason Heyward, Arnoldis Chapman, and Austin Jackson. I'll stop now.  |
