Know your GM
« on: April 30, 2012, 06:10:49 PM »
Since we've had a lot of turnover since the last time we did one of these, I would like each GM to say something about themselves. It seemed to work the last time we did it, so I'll give it another go. Would be nice if we got 100% participation.

About me...

My name is Dan (if you didn't notice by my handle). Love the Mets, baseball, and when Jake's mom gives me a freebee on my birthday and/or Christmas. Favorite current player is Josh Hamilton, a close second is Billy Butler. Favorite all-time player Lenny Dykstra, Keith Hernandez is a close second.

Currently I landscape for work, after working in TV for 8 years, and just got accepted into a Graduate program for Occupational Therapy. Welcomed my first child into this world this past December, name is Statham, and is the best thing ever.

My name is Chris.  I'm a big Philly sports fan.  Thank god for the Phillies winning it all as I'd really be in the crazy house by now!  I can't really say anything witty about Jake's mom.  Growing up I was a big Jose Canseco fan in the bash brother days.  I idolized Schmidt and Carlton back in the day.  I'm a big fan of anyone who plays the game hard nowadays.

I work as an Operations Manager in the call center business.  I have been doing it since moving to Florida from New Jersey nine years ago.  I really would like to go into business for myself with something on the internet.

We have had a lot of turnover?  BTW, the Rockies team history needs updated.

My name is Colby, and I love the Buccos.  That should have been obvious.  Favorite player of all-time is Nolan Ryan.  Favorite Bucco is Doug Drabek.  I am amazed at what pitchers can do.  I am actually a bigger football fan, but love fantasy baseball much more.  Plus, it is easier to be a Steelers fan than a Pirates fan!  Contrary to popular belief, I do not work for ProFSL.  Like someone else in this league (hint, he is a GM in the NL West), I am an Actuary, and I work in the Healthcare sector.

A lot of turnover since the last time we did one of these...I believe we did it in 2010...it's been a while, and I'd estimate 40%, maybe under - but close - to that turnover. We've had 3 Mets and Angels GMs since we did this last.

Ahh, gotcha... I assumed we did it last year.  We have had little turnover in the past year.

I'm Jake Douglas, Nationals owner, previously Angels.

26 years old, grocery manager for a Midwest grocery chain (40 stores, roughly). Two daughters, ages 3 and 2, with our next due in August.

I enjoy video games, gin and tonics, smacking Dan's mom for only making me $10 a night on the street, and making fun of people.

Favorite teams are the White Sox, Spurs, and Arizona Cardinals.

Hey guys,

My name is Eric aka "Ernie" (Corey gave that nickname) or "EJ" and a huge sports nut like everybody on here. I am a Plant Operator making clean burning diesel fuel as well as jet fuel. I am getting married in October who I have been with for the past 4 years.

I was born in the oil field plains of North Dakota and moved to Colorado about almost 5 years ago. My teams are :CAR: :BOS: :Kansas: :COL: :COL-NHL: :NorthDakota: and :Liverpool:

Prob my favorite player when I was young was Vince Carter since I played basketball. Baseball and football pretty much take the cake, but since moving to Colorado I have become more accustomed to hockey as well! Pedro Martinez, Dustin Pedroia, and Troy Tulowitzki are prob my fav players (Ironic that both are on my team :thumbsup: )

Oh cant forget Jon Beason!!!

I'm Nick, im in high school. Live in North carolina, although im originally from denmark. I support all the carolina teams (it's been rough for a few years). I've become a big braves fan since NC is deprived of an MLB team (im left to go watch single A baseball here, which i suppose is better than nothing). Chipper Jones is definitely my favorite player. But yea, im just a huge sports, and fantasy sports, junkie... there's not a sport i wont watch

    Today at 12:08:08 AM
  • STLBlues91: Im ready for that expansion draft
    Today at 12:08:19 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah so about that. One team get first pick in the expansion draft. The other gets first pick in the amateur draft.
    Today at 12:10:24 AM
  • STLBlues91: Yeah figured that was how it would be
    Today at 12:11:15 AM
  • Daddy: I could flip a coin but nobody but me would see it. So a number has been selected between 1-32. You are both getting pms along with the two other mods.

  • STLBlues91: Sounds good. When you thinking this will occur
    Today at 12:12:41 AM
  • Daddy: Whomever guesses closer to the number gets the 1st overall pick in the amateur draft. The other picks first in expansion.

    Today at 12:15:05 AM
  • Daddy: Best get to building it.
    Today at 12:15:32 AM
  • Daddy: Honestly idk why the NBA doesn't do it that way for expanding. Two teams at a time. Expansion draft to amateur draft. I think the idea is fresh and its execution will be pretty dope. ;)
    Today at 12:25:15 AM
  • jimw: I think the NBA goes one team at a time to give the one team a better talent pool in the expansion draft and also to keep the teams from complaining about losing more players
    Today at 01:25:47 AM
  • Daddy: Thats fair
    Today at 01:27:48 AM
  • BayAreaBallers: that makes sense
    Today at 01:32:38 AM
  • Daddy: I mean they only losing one guy anyway tho. We expose 10 players, protect 5 players, each team, all 30 will lose one player.
    Today at 01:36:30 AM
  • Daddy: The expansion teams will then both have 15 players heading into the amateur draft with picks #1 & #2.
    Today at 01:37:43 AM
  • Daddy: Each other team will still have 14 players and one first round pick.
    Today at 01:38:26 AM
  • Daddy: They need to hire me is what they need to do :rofl:
    Today at 01:38:53 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah you lose a guy to the expansion draft. Likely your 6th man. Then the very next day you draft his replacement and keep it moving.

  • jimw: I think in the Bobcat expansion each team could protect 8 players. And I think the bobcats has to take at least 14 so half the league didn't even lose a player.
