LOL thats funny one year in a local redraft league i picked up a magazine on the way to a draft so everyone there would
thnk i was a noob. I didnt know anyone else was helping a friend fill in the league

Its hard to make trades if everyone thinks your are a ringer AND no one knows you. If they think you suck its amazing how nice they can be.

Of course year two they werent so nice :D

As the Forum Funklord would say: I'd rather be wrong for the right reasons than right for the wrong reasons.

Last year one of my best friends, who has been wanting to know how I go about putting my team together, decided he had figured me out. We ended up duking it out on a number of players. He ended up winning the league over me by 1/2 point when he decided to drop Lackey the last week of the season. If you look up Lackey's last game he imploded and his previous game was a gem. To this day I dunno why he dropped him. I asked him but he was evasive. I don't think he really knows but everyone was high fiving him and telling him how smart he was.

Ouch!! Does he qualify for the blind squirrel category?
I don't think so. He's a pretty bright guy, and does a decent job in the auctions, despite his lack of preparation. He has good relationships with all of the other owners, which helps him on the trade front. He's also done a good job in building a strong keeper list, giving him a nice start in most seasons. Good keeper list + good in-season roster management + a little luck sometimes more than offsets his lack of preparation.
