Just wanted to give thanks to Todd's recent article on Shallow vs Deep and Auction vs Snake. With the creation of the NFBC, I really feel that too many people have looked down on shallow mixed leagues as not requiring a whole lot of skill. Many friends make comments like " how hard is it to just pick the best all star available?" You'd be surprised how many excellent deep league players get their clocks cleaned because they can't adjust to the differences between the two. In my leagues JD Drew is where he belongs.... on the wire!
BTW Todd even in my 10 team mix 2 Molina's get picked
The Molina line was a lot better 3 years ago when Bengie was very good and Yadier was still middling.
I'll think of a new comparison for next year.

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

Yeah... I should have caught that in editing. Mind starts to go numb after the 14th line of a Zola sentence. Dude is to commas what water is to Gremlins.

One of my favorite Mastersball articles ever written.
I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft! We used to roast Stay-Puft marshmallows, by the fire, at Camp Waconda.
