Yea.  I knew he wanted Grace and maybe we have established a "relationship" for later negotiations.  This draft is so crazy that this deal fits right in.  Anyway, I don't want to get in the way of a charging ryno.  
CONFIRM benfc trades Mark Grace to charginryno for "Big Klu".

 

And can I just say that I was SURE that nobody would look up Curacoa - whereever the hell that is - to see that Andruw Jones was there to be had. I had been sitting on my Rest of the World picks coming up waiting, waiting for the moment to strike....

Rats. So it goes. 

As for your complaint bagchucker, again compliments on being a better writer than I can ever hope to be, but alas, almost all of the rest of us have been concentrating on goddamned lifetime superstars and it is not clear why it would be a good idea to make the rules fit your drafting strategy and inconvenience all of the other owners. Meanwhile, there are still ten rounds of picks to fill any holes, so you can still see your players play and have your goddamned lifetime stars cake and eat it too. What more couldja want? 

Incidentally, I have taught college since 1992. I have heard EVERY excuse in the book and a few from outside it (they got websites and social media now) for why assignments can't be turned in, exams can't be taken, papers are late etc. 

I have always been pretty lenient, and don't really usually care all that much about deadlines unless it is going to seriously increase my workload - like I will have to miss Christmas with my family because you all turned in your papers late at the end of the semester, etc. 

But for the past 4 or 5 years I have been - among other colleges - teaching for a school that provides courses for US military people overseas and their families. Ever since I got apologetic requests to turn work in late by people ready to accept whatever penalty I saw fit but who needed to turn work in late because they had been wounded in battle in Iraq or Afghanistan, my standard for excuses went way up. I have told this to the students at other colleges where I have taught - it better be good, cause my standard is the guy who emailed me from the hospital in Iraq having been hit by an IED that his jeep went over and was worried about losing his leg. 

So I am cool with changing rules, but the my standards are a little higher than the Supreme Court's are. Any questions?
