OK, I've heard from about half the league, and there's no reason to prolong it: it's the apparently universally beloved P2F.
P2F: let me know what e-mail you want the invite sent to and I'll hook you up.
Not a joke. Jim is a longtime poster and knows his baseball. I think it's good to get people who aren't in any forum leagues. Just probably with longer posting track records than Frenchsoup had.
So of the names that were suggested, the following are interested in joining:
P2F
L54
Orgfiller
jays4life19
All four would be great, and I'm not sure I see a way to choose between them without a league vote.
Esteemed DDL members: your input is required here.
I guess the first thing we should do is find out which among the desirable candidates is interested. Suggested list:
P2F
Orgfiller
J4L19
Pendleton
SirBJay
L54 - interested
Cyborg
Anyone else?
Orgfiller would be very good:
- already co-managing with Hurl (I think)
- has his bona fides: won BORED, and assembled a great LoD team
- very active on the forum
- seems like a generally good guy
Mike Rizzo is awful. He traded 5 years of Felipe Rivero for 2 months of Melancon last year. Now Rivero looks like an elite closer and they have nothing to show for Melancon.
I have no idea what njh has in mind, but P2F, Orgfiller, J4L19, Pendleton, SirBJay, L54, and Cyborg would all be great, and I'm probably forgetting people. njh should have no problems finding a suitable replacement.
KingFiller, remove Dayton from your NA slot so I can add Franco.
Aside from that, I think all recent trades have been updated on yahoo and on the sheet. Please have a look and let us know if something is off.
