2008-2009 Free Agent Pool

[J Status]

Hello again,

Thought I\'d throw out this little pool for us to enjoy during the cold winter of the baseball offseason. Hopefully, a little hot stove can keep us entertained. I have taken all the top free agents according to the dobber rankings and put them into this pool. The rules are very simple.

Correct League= 1 Point
Correct Division= 2 Points
Correct Team= 3 Points

I have removed all the players that have renewed with their current team so far. I hope to close the pool to join before the open market opens on November 14th so we have a little over three days to get our picks up.

Here is the template...

Francisco Rodriguez, LAA- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
CC Sabathia, MIL- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Ben Sheets, MIL- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Mark Teixeira, LAA- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Manny Ramirez, LAD- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Ryan Dempster, CHC- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Brian Fuentes, COL- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Kerry Wood, CHC- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
A.J. Burnett, TOR- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___

Salomon Torres, MIL- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Rocco Baldelli, TB- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Randy Wolf, HOU- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Garret Anderson, LAA- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___
Andy Pettitte, NYY- L(1)___, D(2)___, T(3)___

24x6= 144 Max Points

So hopefully we can get a few players in here and give it a go! Winner will again get a free fantasy guide next season.

Good Luck!
