If the Mets had the balls to horribly murder Luis Castillo and move Dan'l Murphy to second base, Abreu would've made so much sense.

Oh God, there has not even been an exhibition game yet and my hatred of Luis Castillo is already burning the back of my throat.

This will be the season I finally just get an ulcer.

Any move that renders Gary Matthews essentially a bench piece is a good move for the Angels, no question.

EDIT: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/touamb08

I think this is the link to join the new league. I sure as hell sent re-invites to all the previously involved.

I don't remember in there are passwords and crap this time around? I'll have to look into that.

Any scoring rules from last season people want changed?

I could go for a second DL slot, personally, but no biggie if people dug it the old way.

EDIT EDIT (pizza pizza):

League ID# is 113509 and the Password is raysadvice.

I'm in.  Autodraft is a different test from being able to pick your own lineup but at least it means we start with a relatively even level of talent across all teams.

So, like, there are only five of us.  We should do something about that.  Who played in the past?

Edit: Alright, 6, but we still need at least two more, right?

That still doesn't bring the people?  We seriously need at least one more.  Is there any way to get one random person, or cap the league at ten or eight and post on some random board or something?  Anyone know anyone on the outside who would want to play?  I can't thing of a single friend who would be even remotely interested. 

You can set it up so you adjust your roster once a week (for as little as 5 minutes, maybe less) and can maybe win whiskey for it.  Come on/ GOB voice.

You mean watching the U.S. lose to Puerto Rico via the slaughter rule wasn't good television?
