Drafting the worst...

At razzball.com, they do this fun thing of drafting the worst possible team. Should be fun... I'm in one of their blogger leagues, and I will post my "worst team" tomorrow night. 
I'll probably use my NL-only league draft, posted earlier, as my guide.

One of the pleasures of running a site like this is discovering the diversity of people who love baseball and who are interested in this kind of content.
In reviewing today's user logs, I saw a user who was visiting from Tehran.
This person came here via a search for Johan Santana.
Pretty neat, eh?
I love how cultural divides can be broken by a simple game of baseball.

Man, I forgot how hard single league play was... I haven't played in a single league fantasy game for a good 8 or 9 years. And, I rediscovered a very important thing.

It should now be functional on the hitters and pitchers ranking pages.
As always, if you encounter a problem, let me know!

Nix tool is now more effective...

I have corrected the nix tool function and basic searches so that your last ranking settings are saved in your personal profile. If this doesn't make sense to you, then odds are you haven't used the nix tool yet in a draft.
What happened is that when you removed a drafted player from the rankings after he was drafted, your ranking settings were reset, forcing you to redo the search that you were on when you nixed the player.
No more!
This has not yet been added when you nix pitchers, but I will add this tomorrow...
