It's me. I have entered a couple of new leagues this offseason so I'm not sure if there was formal introduction here or not. I just saw the new guy of the Stros post in the chat window and thought I might become an actual person-ish type. I'm Scott Delp, I'm old. I've been playing fantasy baseball since we did stats by hand out of the Tuesday USA Today. I'm a retired teacher/counselor/coach and I've had numerous retirement jobs. Most recently, I wrote for Baseball Prospectus from 2017-January of 2020. If I actually knew anything, I'd probably either still be there or would have been scooped up by some savvy front office so don't expect me to be smart  I play golf pretty much every day so if I don't answer posts in a timely manner I'm either on the course or drinking to try to forget my most recent round. I seem to have come in during a round of controversy. It's really nice to not be the one creating the controversy for a change... I'm always up for any kind of trade/baseball discussion. Thanks for having me! |

I'm more like 'HellNoInOne'. The number of golfers who tell me they have had a hole in one reminds me of the number of people who told me they were at the game where Wilt scored 100 point when I lived in the Harrisburg area. There had to be 30,000 of them. The arena held 5,500 people at the time. Official attendance was 4,100, I think |

Hey 'Stro
Welcome to the League.
Looks like we have a few things in common.
I'm old.
I've also been doing fantasy baseball since we did stats by hand.
I'm trying to retire.
For 3 years I wrote articles for Hustler Forum. If I knew anything I would still be writing about sexual perversion.
I drink to forget.
I can create controversy.
I'm always willing to trade.
Your welcome.

Between the Mets and Pirates, I guess I'm one of the young guys here. I'm only in my 60's |

Welcome Stros! Teacher as well here too, but not retired. Also remember doing stats by hand out of the USA Today, loved those times! SImple days for sure, but always good to add some experience to the group. I still do my NBA league by hand actually, a rare breed. Solid group here in that most of us have been in leagues for ages and this core has been around a long time for this league.
