April 29, 200521 yr I've seen other fansites do an adopt a player type thing. You have a draft, in which the top posters get first selections and so on and so forth. Minor league players can be drafted as well. Anyways, you put the player in your sig along with his stats and any newsbits there might be. This is a good way to see how a minor leaguer is developing or how the major league players are performing. Just thought I'd suggest it.
April 29, 200521 yr Sounds kinda fun, but a little too much work with all the news updates, stats, etc. But it could still be fun.
April 30, 200521 yr Juanky just thinks it's fun cause he'd a have a top 3 choice... psh... Well, i'd actually think itd be fun as well
April 30, 200521 yr Author Seriously, it's a blast...when your guy does something good you can brag. Plus, it lets the posters know more about the minor league guys, and that's a big plus.
April 30, 200521 yr I'd do it. You could post articles on the blog Admin gave us all and then just use a FeedBurner Ticker in the signature to keep everyone updated.
April 30, 200521 yr Juanky just thinks it's fun cause he'd a have a top 3 choice... psh... Well, i'd actually think itd be fun as well It's not like I'd be picking Miguel Cabrera
April 30, 200521 yr What happens if Juanky gets Conine, I get LoDuca and Ramp gets Ryan Jorgensen? Total chaos. Can we trade? Wait until July and trade Paulie for Willingham and a 6th starter. Oh yeah! Seriously... this hurts the bandwagon hoppers. With the sig restrictions as they are the Marlin of the month/week/day/inning won't get proper 'dap'.
April 30, 200521 yr For the record, I don't especially hate any Marlins. I just hate the way the masses look at them Hence, Miguel's free pass on defense and everyone clammoring for Jeff when Enc is tearing the cover off the ball. However, I think it will work, because the top guys probably wouldn't be selecting the biggest names. I'd say Ramp would take Willy, Admin would take Jorg, I'd take Enc, Mota, or one of the minor league arms, etc. The middle drafters would probably get Juanpy, Miguel, Mikey, and the big names. That way we get to spread knowledge on some of the unknowns to the lesser knowing members, and the middle names can get more attention with the big guns. If we redraft every Spring Training, we could def increase recognition of lesser known players both on the major league club and in the minors.
May 1, 200521 yr No top 10 prospects should be allowed we know enough about them... get the unsung guys
May 1, 200521 yr Author You can do major leaguers...if they perform well you can brag. That's really the only advantage to having a major leaguer.
May 1, 200521 yr the thing is that most of the people here know how our major league players are doing, and to a lesser extent, our top 10 prospects... imo, only minor leaguers outside the top 10

May 4, 200521 yr Author Well, I think everybody approves, but we still haven't heard from Admin on this subject... Admin? *crickets chirp*
