Introductions

[Fourfingerwoo]

I am married with three children a daughter 17 years old, one daughter 12 years old and a son that me and my wife adopted 2 and a half years ago he is three now. I am a project superintendent for a commercial construction company that constructs roads,bridges and runways. My wife is a stay at home mother that has done a wonderful job at building a home. My oldest daughter is about to graduate high school and pursue a medical career.My youngest daughter is very gifted athlete that competes in both travel softball as a leadoff center fielder. My son was born into a bad situation as a crack baby, the son of my wife's niece. She approached me when the boy was 5 weeks old on taking custody of him, we did and never looked back. Thankfully he suffers no ill effects from the girls drug use at this point although when we got him he was a very sickly child. With plenty of work by my wife today he is quite the advanced child. He is a mixed boy, but that does not effect how much we love him.
   I am a work-a-holic with all of my time away from work devoted to my family besides the one exception fantasy baseball.Last year because of the demands of my new job I had to find replacement owners for my 2 teams in leagues that I was involved in for years it broke my heart. Now situated at work I once again have the time available to dedicate to my first love, baseball. And I feel I made a great choice in the league I joined. As you will see I am a very devoted owner and will take the needed time to make the Detroit Tigers a strong contributor to Dynasty MLB Elite. All of my fantasy experience is in a dynasty and I will apply that to my Tigers, taking the long draw out process in building this team to reflect the type of team I would manage if I was a real life MLB GM. I will give you my honest assessment of the Detroit Tigers in their present form.They have a solid core of young pitchers and some interesting prospects but beyond that the offense in it's present form has no chance of getting me into the post season in 2012. That being said I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that I am willing to trade off some of my MLB talent in an attempt to sell some of my now talent to mortgage the future. I plan on constructing the Tigers from the ground up starting with my farm system.
    One last note about myself I am an Orioles fan, I was molded into an Orioles and baseball statistics fan by a grandmother who lives and dies by the Birds. I used to spend everyone of my summers as a kid visiting my grandparents attending minor league ball games in Florida and tracking the Orioles box scores every mourning in the Orlando Sentinel with my grandmother. I was also in Orlando every spring break of my childhood for Orioles spring training collecting great memories and over 700 personally acquired Oriole autographs including over 3 dozen Cal Ripken John Hanncocks. While learning the game of baseball from my grandmother that is such a committed fan that her and my grandfather have never missed a season home opening series, including this year where at the ripe age of 91 made the trek from Orland to Baltimore for this years home opener.
  Well I guess I've rambled on enough. I look forward to competing against you guys while at the same time trading in a mutually beneficial manner over the next couple of decades.

I know I'm a bit late to the show and most people won't care nor read this but I'm going to do this anyway. I'm Josh I think I'm the 2nd youngest at 21. I was born in Seattle but moved to Arlington, TX years ago. For those who don't know Arlington is where the Rangers play. I live 6 miles from the Ballpark. I played FFB in 09' and 10' but forgot to sign up in 11' and this is my second dynasty I've ever played in. When it comes to baseball I love my M's but go for anyone but the Yankees. Speaking of which I will be managing my M's.  I prefer young players i.e. the Stantons, McCutchins, Hosmers, Ackleys, etc. I'm always willing to deal and trade so send me those offfers anytime and I'll look at them and let you know.

We do tend to attract an older crowd... actually ProFSL as a whole attracts and older crowd. It's usually busiest during the week in the daytime hours, presumably when people are at work and checking in from there. On weekends, activity tends to die down noticeably.

Hi,

I'm Brandon, looks like I'm taking over the Rangers.  I've been playing online fantasy baseball in one form or another for about 13 years.  Most of my leagues have been 16-20 team yahoo dynasty/keeper types, but I found a 30 team full minors back in February and fell in love.  I'm glad to be able to find another one.  It should be fun.

As far as sports go, I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, so beyond the Colts and Hoosiers, I'm a nomad.  I live in Milwaukee, and have attached myself to the Brewers.  I was at the game tonight, sorry if I'm not coherent.  After several beers I tend to think I'm much better at nearly everything than I really am, lol. 

Other particulars:  I just hit 35, I've got one daughter, 3 more on the way sometime this offseason.  You read that right.  I tend to be extremely active in trades and such, however that's usually because I'm trying to put together someone else's mess.  I also tend to be sarcastic and have a dry sense of humor.  If I type something in chat and you're debating whether or not to be offended, don't be.  I'm not serious.

Hey everyone, my name is Alex. I love baseball, and I love playing fantasy baseball. I am currently in 4 fantasy baseball leagues, but this is my own 30 teamer.

I live in Toronto, so naturally my favourite baseball team is the Blue Jays. My favourite hockey team is the Leafs, and my favourite football team is the Patriots. I dont really follow basketball.

I look forward to competing in this league with all of you, too bad I joined after the trade dedline, but as soon as the offseason starts, get ready for me to fill up your inboxes with trade offers.

Brandon, I'm not sure if I should say congratulations or sorry about your upcoming triplets!

I go back and forth myself.
