| Message | Should we try and resolve any of the issues that were talked about last year? The main problem seems to be motivation or lack thereof. Its really not THAT big of an issue but there are some potential things that we could do to help the process along. 1. Money/payouts. The options that were discussed were: - Increased stakes across the board - Payouts for more than 1st place - Lower placed teams paying more than higher placed teams. - any others? 2. Month end roster deadlines being missed/ "tanking". I don't remember where this conversation ended up. Duke proposed the idea about determining draft order based on the highest scoring members of your team for the month. Were there any other suggestions for this issue? It was apparent during the last discussions that most people prefer different things so maybe we should come up with all the perceived problems and their possible solutions and then we can put things to a vote. |

| Message | Fellow GM's, I recently returned from a two-week scouting trip in rural Manitoba, which is why I wasn't very accessible. Tommorow, I head to southern BC for another week with my staff as we check out more prospects. I can be reached via blackberry at chris.epp@ctv.ca but reception ain't great where I'm going. Will be listening to offers upon my return. Goon, I can save you a bit of trouble - if you think of any offer you're going to make me, just assume I'll say no. That way, you don't have to wait for me to return for the official rejection. |

| Message | The Phillies organization is sad to part ways with James Van Riemsdyk so early in his promising career. In a restructuring deal: The Phillies send JVR to The Terror for the 4th overall PP. We look forward to making the selection. |

| Message | Totally agree with the C doggy on this one - the hockey news one sucks. On holidays too and picked both of those mags up. Haven't checked out the forecaster one yet, but it's got to be better than the Hockey News. (but an insiders note - the mag Phil (of the Phillies) writes for is the really the best. ) ![]() |

| Message | Fantasy Hockey Magazine Review: The Sports Forecaster Surprised to find this one in the stands already and again, since I was on vacation I figured why not. In the past the Forecaster has lacked in content but I was surprised to find that there was quite a bit of solid content this year. Their team write-ups have improved with nice features such as 'high-end potential'. I also found the player write-ups to be more useful than in the past. All-in-all, worth the money this year |
