I got a PS4 and NBA 2K14 today. This rocks!

My dad's filling out his first bracket EVER for the Billion Dollar Challenge. Lord help him...

Tell him that Weber State's winning it all

Tell him Wofford is winning it all.

Tell him I'm winning it all.

In Dallas now.

Are you just visiting all the states?

Nope, unorthodox flights, Tampa Bay to Dallas and then Toronto.

Chris Davis and Jacoby Ellsbury are my first two picks in FBB.

I thought at first you meant there were the first two picks, and I was gonna say you were a moron for leaving our league.

As your top two picks, they're okay, I guess. Obviously, they're both good players, but I don't see either of them reaching last year's numbers

My first two picks were Goldy and King Felix.

Here's my fantasy roster. What do you gurus think?

C Carlos Santana
1B Chris Davis
2B Jason Kipnis
3B Ryan Zimmerman
SS Hanley Ramirez
2B/SS Ben Zobrist
1B/3B Allen Craig
OF Jacoby Ellsbury
OF Alex Rios
OF Billy Hamilton
OF Christian Yelich
OF Michael Bourn
UTIL Aaron Hill
BE Manny Machado
BE Pedro Alvarez
BE Salvador Perez

SP Chris Sale
SP Madison Bumgarner
SP Mike Minor
SP Shelby Miller
SP Julio Teheran
SP Jered Weaver
RP Jim Johnson
RP Jason Grilli
RP Casey Janssen

Overall, I feel like my relief pitching is definitely shaky, but those were all in my last 5 picks. Remember that Allen Craig and Ben Zobrist are eligible for OF too. The bottom end of my starting rotation worries me, but Sale and Bumgarner are very good for top 2. Was concerned about picking 2 Braves pitchers(Minor and Teheran), but Teheran was slipping so far I couldn't resist.

You're kinda clueless saying that your rotation worries you. Your pitchers are very, very good, considering you have 6 top-30 guys. Too good, in fact. By that, I mean I think you would have been better off passing on one or two of them and grabbing a better OF instead. That, or shift Craig to OF, move Machado (or Alvarez in the CI spot), and move Yelich or Bourn to the bench. Pitching is really deep. You could have a staff entirely made up of mid-late round picks and still be at least decent. Relievers aren't a problem, just keep an eye on waivers in case anything happens.

How many teams are in the league, and what's the format?

Really? Neat... I was concerned about my pitching, so that's why I kept taking so many high rated guys... And yes, I haven't messed with my lineup at all. I do plan to play probably both Zobrist and Craig in the OF, move Alvarez in to CI, Hill to MI, and Machado to utility.

League format is default H2H scoring because nobody else wanted roto... 8 teams.

H2H points? And 8 teams? Hmm... That changes a couple things. For one, your team still looks good, just not as good as if it was a 10 team league. Less teams = More talent. I've never actually played a points league, but just looking at ESPN, the rankings are radically different. Like, Kipnis is the number 2 2B in roto, but number 10 in H2H. That said, your team still looks pretty good, I think

Ok, cool. I've never done head to head either, which is why I wanted to stick to roto. But I lost that battle. :lol
