Can someone help me, or send me to a webpage that can. I seriously have no idea what I'm doing here. I said I'd play, and I'm ready to make daily changes. The internet has been zero help for me.

first off, relax. the season really hasn't even started yet.
don't make any moves just yet. there's some decent players on your roster. give your team a couple weeks and see what they can do. see where your team's strengths are. Is it Hitting? Pitching? Both?
Before you make moves, first learn who's helping and hurting your team. and if a player is hurting your team, figure out where he's hurting your team. is he helping out in other areas? if not, cut him and go for someone hotter.
scout players around the league. monitor the +/- link on the free agents page. figure out why certain players are more popular currently than others. what are they doing? can they help your team?
scout other team's rosters. see what they're doing, if anything. what are their strengths and weaknesses? do you have any players that might help them but won't hurt your team if you lose him? if so, propose a trade.
ORRRR!!! better yet, just do whatever Know and Gibbons do. They're probably going to go 1-2 in the standings again this year anyway.

Standings after the first full week of baseball. I posted this for a few reasons: 1. I'm in first. 2. As the season progresses, point values will change less frequently and it's nice to be able to look back a week or two to see if you are losing or gaining ground on someone in a certain category and adjust your roster accordingly. 3. Wonk is in ninth. 4. I'm in first. I'll try to post these standings every week on Wednesday. However, I am forgetful, and I will become more forgetful when wonk's team inevitably passes me. 1. Peter Gibbons 2. Friend of Gibbons 3. badchoices 4. wompwomp 5. CHUD 6. Friend of CHUD 7. Stamper 8. Rusty 9. wonk 10. drew

I think that I currently have the worst ever fantasy baseball performance or someone who is actually paying attention and trying. Jesus.

I promise to finish the year with most moves. That's a fact.

My #1 goal is to finish the season 1st in Moves, higher than 10th place overall, and to have at least 9 Braves on my team!
It's my triple crown.

Week 3 Standings. Rusty gave up after the draft and is still beating Drew. I'm regretting my choice to invite Team MCGEE into the league. Stamper finally passed CHUD in roster moves. Interesting stat: Team MCGEE has a .311 batting average; Second place (Team Womp) has a .275 AVG. Current Standings (Last Week Rank : +/-) 1. Friend of Gibbons (2nd : +3.0 pts) 2. badchoices (3rd : +2.5 pts) 3. Peter Gibbons (1st : -18.5 pts - Ouch) 4. Friend of CHUD (5th : -3.0 pts) 5. wonk (6th : +8.5 pts) 6. wompwomp (7th : +8.5 pts) 7. CHUD (4th : -10.0 pts) 8. Stamper (10th : +16.5 pts) 9. Rusty (9th : +1.5 pts) 10. drew (8th : -9.0 pts)

How am I not last? I've been busy with exam, but I had my last one today. So hopefully I can figure some of this out before drew gets his shit together.

Am I alone in thinking that any trade that involves Albert Pujols is just silly? I know he's in the worst slump of his career... but I mean, come on.
