Holy four-pitch walk Batman, its baseball season!
Hello internet people, by this point I'm sure you are aware that I have an slight large uncontrolable fantasy sports addiction. If you didn't know that, I'm assuming you either just got here about 4 seconds ago or you're deaf. Wait that doesn't make sense, you must be....blind? ***SUDDEN TRAIN OF THOUGHT SHIFT***

If you're deaf can you still listen to music? Wait, that might not be as stupid as it sounds, because you can still feel the vibrations and stuff right? Or say you were like 95% deaf, you could just crank the tunes and kinda hear it muffled. Or instead of being deaf from birth if somthing happend (like you listened to music too loudly) and you went 95% deaf you could still kinda 'feel' the beat, and you'd know in your head how it was supposed to go right? Okay enough of that, back to the planned post in 3...2...1...

So because of my addiction, I want start another pool (I've got my first draft on monday). But I want to do something a little different than the usuall yahoo straight drafts, and I've got a couple ideas.

First, instead of drafting players we draft teams, you pick one team and get all their players (or just the ones you want/need), then the 2nd round order is based on which teams went in the first round, so worst team gets first pick, y'know? Okay awsome idea right? You want in right? Good.

The second idea is an auction draft, each team gets somewhere between $5 and $10,000,000 to spend however they see fit. The amount doesn't matter because you're not really paying me...unless of course you want to. We could either do it like an actual auction, with fancy suits and numbered paddles and shit, hell I'll even try to talk really fast if you want. Or we could do it like a silent auction where you assign values to the players you want and whoever put the most money on each player gets em.

Alright now I have to make a confession. I just wrote this post knowing full well there is almost a 0% chance of either of those pools happening because for some reason I can't get people to feel the same excitement for these pools that I do. Fine I can accept that, I still think either of those pools would be 100% kickass. Now the confession, and the really true identifier of how scary my adiction is, I've already started thinking about my draft stratagy for two pools that probably won't exist outside of what you just read. Help me. Help me by telling me you want in on this addiction, and lets play some ball!
