    Complete with fuzzed out position board :)

    (The contents of the board have been posted before. Basically it says that ML is a second string guy and Barton and Claver are 3rd string guys).

    I thought we hired a new young statistics guy or something? maybe it was a new athletic trainer?

    My league sources confirm that the numbers genius' name is Ben Falk.

    I would make a wise crack, but I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings.

    Did anyone notice how much Olshey was blinking when he talked about getting the guys we wanted? Me thinks Withey, Jarrett and Todorovic were long chosen for other teams and we missed out on a few guys we thought were going to drop.

    I don't really believe a thing Olshey says, but that's fine, because what he says doesn't mean shit anyway. It's all about results and so far I think his strategies and execution are about as good as one could expect given the hand he was dealt.

    Agreed. It's the job of a GM to keep his cards close to his vest, to deceive, to bluff, etc. I was just surprised to see someone lie so badly.
