Suggestions for Keeper League .. Sorry I know

St Pete Native — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:49:38 -0000

I am trying to get a new keeper league of the ground. I have been in several keeper leagues, however none have been able to last. With that being said I have never started my own keeper league, and was wondering if any of you more experienced fantasy baseballers had any suggestions on rules, format, forum site, etc.

Also currently I have about 8-10 buddies from college and law school who have committed, so once this thing gets off the ground I may be looking to fill the last couple of teams.

If your interested or have any suggestions you can post on here or e-mail me at K.A.Katchuk28@gmail.com. Anything is appreciated, thanks.

Ray + Bar = a fun saturday

Anyone have a favorite bar that they like to enjoy their favorite adult beverage at while taking in an away Rays game? I usually go to fergs but was wondering if anyone else had a favorite. Also people should go out to a bar saturday and watch the Rays first Fox game.

A petpeeve of mine...

I noticed this trend back in the fall with the Patriots and it has continued into baseball season with the Red Sox. But its seems as if the Red Sox our on ESPN every freaking night. This really irks me, not only as a Rays fans but also as a baseball fan because I would like to see other teams around the league. No wonder there are so many bandwagon fans in Pink Hat nation, there the only team in America on national T.V. every night.

Looking for a good time ....

Is Brignac a forgotten man in Tampa Bay?

St Pete Native — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:53:08 -0000

Reid Brignac is seemingly blocked in Triple A by Jason Bartlett who has been a major contributor to the Rays turnaround this the season with his super defense, even though his offense has been questionable to date. All reports on Brignac are that he is above average with the glove and good with the bat, even though he could use work on his OBP and K ratios.

And behind Brignac is the first overall pick in Tim Beckham, assuming that the scouting reports read true (and i know thats a huge assumption) is a very strong defensive SS and hopefully future SS of the Rays.

With that being said this promising prospect seems to be forgotten by the Rays front office, with him having a decent year at Triple A at the ripe age of 22 is he still considered a top prospect? What are some of the Rays options for dealing with Brignac, Bartlett, and the long term future of Beckham?
