    You used different years for Choo and Mauer, used 3YA for Cabrera which is what you are supposed to do, then career averages for guys like Dunn who haven't put up an OBP close to his career average for about 4 years (as Vladdy clearly indicated).

    It's not my clubhouse, so I don't really care, but people will notice that you are not being consistent and that it's an obvious attempt to make your players look better than they are.

    I used a WAR average but took their career stats if you look closely and have any reading comprehension. I didn't use WAR where they are little playing time. Using WAR for a year they had 60 PA is dumb. 2005-2012 IS MAUERS whole career.

    I used career for just about everything.

    So again, you're wrong.

    It's like me using Ichiro's career numbers instead of his 3YA, which to me, is a better indication of what to expect going forward. Not going to do that even though it would make him look much more appealing.

    I used CAREER in just about my entire clubhouse.

    It's a level playing field. I dont care what you find better, using career is easier anyways.

    You're criticizing me for using the same numbers for 99% of people I drafted. Ok.

    At least it gives me something to do during my lunchbreak. I normally sit around and stare at my wall while thinking about what I'm going to do when I leave work.

    I work ****** hours. Have no internet access at work (to browse at least) and these last two weeks have been ****** because of my dental work. Plus I work a PT job and I'm tired from getting up between 2:45 and 3:45 in the morning.

    I hear ya on the dental work. Just had to have two root canals because an infection was growing inside in my gum and ate away at all the bone. I didn't even have a ****ing cavity it just happened and abscessed. My dentist was dumbfounded.

    What type of work you do? Those hours blow. I like my 8-430 hours

    I had one tooth removed and another with a root canal.

    I work front desk at a surgery center. Surgery start times start as early as 6:30 but the patients usually have to be there between 1.5 to 2 hrs before the surgery. I'm the very first contact so I have to be there.

    I just went to a jobfair yesterday and will be getting a call early this upcoming week to see whether or not I got the job. I'm thinking I may have since I had 2 interviews right away and one of the guys in charge of hiring is a friend of my friend's husband so he knew of me coming in. Those hours are 8:30 to 5 so it'll be a lot better.

    Right now my weekday social life sucks balls.

    12-18 months? Has the surgery regressed ten years while I wasn't paying attention?

    Sounds promising. Thats the key is knowing someone to getting any sort of job...thats the only reason I have the job I'm on now.

    I'm in the process of maybe starting to look again as the pay sucks. Love my job, but need more money.

    Same, but moreso I get home from work and I'm just tired and worn out. Dont feel like doing ****.
