| :::NOTE TO OWNERS::: - The rosters for the 2005 season have been unfrozen. Brian had declared that trading, adds, and drops can officially begin for the 2005 season. A sidenote, we will be going with sandbox.com for our stat tracking and to keep track of league moves. I think couchjockey.com went out of business. |
| ROSTER STATUS FOR ALL TEAMS: UNFROZEN |
| CLAIRE (Red Storm) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 1. Vladimir Guerrero 24. Paul Konerko 25. Shawn Green 48. Johnny Estrada 49. JD Drew 72. Billy Wagner |
| 2005 REPORT - The 2004 campaign for Claire was a tumultuous one to say the least. A good start to the year was overshadowed by unexpected mediocre numbers. Look for a turnaround in 2005. |
| ASHLEE (The Bradee Bunch) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 2. Jeff Kent 23. Jason Varitek 26. Richie Sexson 47. Eric Gagne 50. Jeff Bagwell 71. Corey Koskie |
| 2005 REPORT - A boom to start the 2004 season, Ashlee had positioned herself into top shape. Poor roster management and nagging player injuries eventually sunk playoff hopes late in the year. |
| BOBBY/SETH (BSDoublePlay) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 3. Joe Mauer 22. Casey Blake 27. Carlos Lee 46. Zack Grienke 51. Roy Halliday 70. Keith Foulke |
| 2005 REPORT - Though 2004 wasn't a first-place year, BSDoublePlay is primed for 2005. As long as players stay healthy, indications are strong that this team should be on top come playoff time. |
| JIMMY (Cornroed) R |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 4. Derrek Lee 21. Chone Figgins 28. Mike Cuddyer 45. Pedro Feliz 52. Coco Crisp 69. Mark Bellhorn |
| 2005 REPORT - Always tough to predict what a 1st-year owner will do. To be on the safe side, Jimmy looks as though he can handle his team, but it's early to suggest a playoff run in 2005. |
| TOM (Roid Rage) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 5. Sammy Sosa 20. Mike Mussina 29. Mark Buehrle 44. Bartolo Colon 53. Bronson Arroyo 68. David Wells |
| 2005 REPORT - The "Sophomore Jinx" will pass by this team in 2005. With monster power in his lineup, Tom should propel himself to the front early this season and maybe into a playoff spot. |
| BRIAN (9 of Clubs) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 6. Travis Hafner 19. Garrett Anderson 30. Brian Roberts 43. Kaz Matsui 54. David Wright 67. AJ Burnett |
| 2005 REPORT - Without a doubt, 2004 was a fluke. The injury bug hit this team hard. If not for that, this team would've been in contention. Expect 2005 to be a rebound year for Brian's team. |
| KYLE (Mudhens) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 7. Troy Glaus 18. Jose Reyes 31. Rich Harden 42. Aaron Rowand 55. Paul LoDuca 66. Joe Nathan |
| 2005 REPORT - This is another team that had an unexpected "down" year. Kyle is typically in contention every year for the playoffs but bombed horribly in 2004. This year should pose better for Kyle. |
| PAUL (Chicards) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 8. Mike Piazza 17. Orlando Cabrera 32. Juan Uribe 41. Moises Alou 56. Craig Biggio 65. Trevor Hoffman |
| 2005 REPORT - Paul's team moved up from "consistent loser" to "unpredictable team" after coming in second in 2004. Maybe 2005 will be the year Chicards is considered the "real deal." |
| STEVE (Dred Zeppelins) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 9. Ben Sheets 16. Carlos Guillen 33. Ray Durham 40. Greg Maddux 57. Freddy Garcia 64. Kelvim Escobar |
| 2005 REPORT - A disastrous 2004 might just be a turning point for Steve's team. No where to go but up for 2005 and a strong draft might be the key for a postseason berth in 2005 for Steve. |
| LARRY (NYSnoopy) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 10. Jose Vidro 15. Bobby Crosby 34. Chris Carpenter 39. Corey Patterson 58. Randy Winn 63. Jarrod Wright |
| 2005 REPORT - The defending champion will have quite a task on hand to repeat. The field is saturated with good teams so Larry will really have to pay attention to achieve back-to-back championships. |
| DANNY (Desert Heat) R |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 11. Bret Boone 14. Rafael Furcal 35. Johnny Damon 38. Torii Hunter 59. Aaron Boone 62. Francisco Rodriguez |
| 2005 REPORT - Another rookie owner coming into the league leaves one suspicious of how they'll do in the upcoming season. If injuries are low, he has a shot. If not, wait until next year for success. |
| DON (Colt 45's) |
| TOP 6 2005 DRAFT PICKS: 12. Chipper Jones 13. Jason Kendall 36. Lyle Overbay 37. Brad Wilkerson 60. Pedro Martinez 61. Jose Guillen |
| 2005 REPORT - A rebound is set for this team in 2005. Don almost methodically drafts well and roster management is above-average. Low injuries and timely trades will put this team in contention. |

| FANTASY BASEBALL NOTES FROM THE COMMISSIONER - After draft commences, the rosters will be locked into place for approximately one week. No additions, drops or trades will be permitted during this time of lockdown. After that one week has passed, adds, drops and trades will be allowed to commence. - All teams will produce a line-up by Sunday of every week and will consist of 13 positional players and 8 pitchers to the desire of the owner. It is not strictly enforced if a line-up is missed on Sunday but a line-up will not be accepted if a considerable amount of time has passed for that week and the owner will have to play their line-up from the previous week. Obviously, situations arise and special considerations will be made in the event an owner is unable to produce a line-up on time. - Statistics will be kept by the commissioner and a co-commissioner and can be obtained by e-mailing [email protected]. - Any questions reguarding anything pertaining to the league whether you believe a statistical inaccuracy or even a complaint, please contact the commissioner at the above e-mail address so that the matter may be resolved expediently. - And finally, just a reminder that this is a fun league. Obviously, I preach participation but I also want this to be something that everyone can do at the end of the day just to relax or unwind from the hectic lives we all live. If you do find it to be something of a chore than something fun, please contact the commissioner so we may make the proper arrangements and address any issues that you may have. - Other than that, I am looking forward to seeing you all at the draft and good luck on hopefully a fantastic 2005 fantasy baseball season! |
