Way to go Teach, Tim, muns, and AI!

Good news is 3rd actually gets me the 7th pick. Can't beat that.

For his 1950-game career Villa has hit .330 with 2500 hits, 1069 RBIs and 150 home runs.

What a great career he is having!

Damn good season by Holmes. 6th best ERA in history.

Great job playoff teams. I gotta clean this mess up in Colorado. Its starting to annoy me.

[Alan T]

New file is up! Playoffs are tomorrow night!

I really think to this point in FOOL history (or at the very least since the restart), there has only been one pitcher with this kind of dominance, and that, of course, was Quero.

Obviously, it's no stretch to suggest that Holmes will win the RL Prado again. Presuming he does, that will be the fifth in six seasons--and he just turned 28.

My challenge will be keeping the team around him competitive.

Congrats to all the playoff teams. Told ya the Hooligans wouldn't be there this year.
