My?guess:??Ruth, Bonds, Aaron, Gehrig and Musial.? I went back and checked, but

 Greetings;
     If there is a consensus to move to All-Star I'm fine with that.  And
 I'm
 fine with staying put with CBS as I've been in a CBS league for a couple
 years
 and things have worked out satisfactorily.

 I don't have a problem with staying with the new/current service. ? It
 actually
 has some useful features, and I'm getting used to its features/quirks. ? I
 don't
 mind backing up my bids w/ e-mail.

 Gang:
 ?
 ? Here is where we stand on the website issues.? First, as reported
 earlier, it
 appears that everything functioned normally this weekend.? Most
 importantly, the
 FAAB bidding appears to have worked properly.? I have not yet heard from
 anyone
 indicating that their lineup moves did not go through.
 ?
 ? As you may recall, a year ago when we switched from TQ Stats to All Star
 Stats, we also had some start-up issues.? I checked my e-mail archives
 from last
 year, and those e-mails indicate that we were having problems all the way
 through early May.? Even when we got most of the main problems resolved,
 we
 continued to have periodic issues throughout the year, especially arising
 from
 the inputting of retroactive moves.?
 ?
 ? Given that it is only mid-April and we already appear to have things
 working
 through the CBS system, I am now on the fence about the need to switch
 back to
 All Star Stats.? For starters, its more expensive, but aside from the
 cost,
 there is no guarantee that we will not experience similar start-up issue,
 putting us back at square one.? Moreover, the manual labor is roughly
 equivalent
 on CBS and All-Star, so I do not see a huge benefit to going back.
 ?
 ? There are two principal differences that we will have to get used to if
 we
 remain on CBS.? First, as I have reported several times, to see your
 currently
 active roster, you need to look at the correct week.? This is now week 3.?
 The
 system will default to the roster for current week plus one (i.e., week
 4), so
 you need to look back by clicking on the correct week.? You can also see
 your
 active roster on the live scoring function.? Second, the reporting of
 competing
 FAAB bids does not exist.? On All-Star Stats, you could inspect the bids
 by
 looking at the "evaluator" function.? On CBS, even the Commissioner cannot
 see
 the competing bids.? This means that we will have to rely on distributions
 of
 e-mails by bidders, as Andy suggested early last week.
 ?
 ? To me, these two difference seem minor, and I think once we get used to
 the
 system, we will not notice.? I am interested in the impressions others
 have as
 we get used to this different system, so please feel free to e-mail me.
 ?
