Owners of the AL North

Trenton Scarlet Knights
1). Who is z0601?
Z0601, is a 33 year man who works in TV and loves sports of all kinds. I am married with one on the way which is our first child and he is due at the beginning of May. He will replace our German Shepherd as the "kid" of the house.

2). What are your interests and hobbies?

I am addicted to WIS. I currently have three HD teams and this makes my fifth HBD team. When I am not on WIS I like playing soccer and golf, hanging out with family and friends.


3). What are your favorite sports teams and which one is #1?

I am a big Indianapolis Colts fan as well as Chicago Blackhawks fan. Colts are the top team, although it might be a while before we can claim that in the standings again. Becoming a bigger and bigger hockey fan each season.

4). Who is your favorite WIS player?

Blade Douglas on my Fargo team in another world. Was one of the first players I ever drafted and he is still coming into his own in the ML and it has been great watching him grow.

5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating?

Since I played soccer in college, I think my skill set would best be transfered to CF in baseball. I would have good range with a super glove and hit for contact and have to beat out throws to first.

6). Best piece of advice for HBD?

Always ask questions and continue learn. I am still learning and making mistakes each season.

7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings?

Over-rated is health. Have seen way too many guys with health in the 90's have their careers come crashing down. Anymore it seems like it is a crap shoot.

Speed and baserunning. Slow teams stink.

8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game?

I hate ranking my draft.

9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most?

Blanch and dedelman game me my first shoots at HBD and for that I am very thankful. I have yet to run into an owner in either NCAA world that wasn't helpful or easy to get along with which makes these worlds so great.

10). The thing that may surprise us about you?

I am not really that big of a baseball fan.


Cincinnati Bearcats
1). Who is mtorabdaddy?

2). What are your interests and hobbies? sports, technology

3). What are your favorite sports teams and which one is #1? Cincinnati Reds, Bengals, Bearcats, Denver Broncos

4). Who is your favorite WIS player?

5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating? SS or C and I would have a +bat and arm.

6). Best piece of advice for HBD? Trade me all of your prospects! :)

7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings? Hmm...I would have to say injury (until they get hurt) or perhaps pitch calling for Catchers. I seem to have had some decent success with big bat no field catchers.

8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game? Favorite - trades Least - Coach hiring/waiting for budgets.

9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most?
I really enjoy the worlds that Chris runs. Everyone in there is pretty good to deal with and respectful.

10). The thing that may surprise us about you? I am big into tattoos which can sometimes conflict with my professional line of work.

Chicago Blue Demons
1). Who is (Insert name)?

-madden0001

2). What are your interests and hobbies?

- Soccer, Golf, Kickball

3). What are your favorite sports teams and which one is #1?

- Penn State (#1), Phillies, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, LA Galaxy

4). Who is your favorite WIS player?

- Still working on that one. I had a QB I loved in GD back in the day who was 3rd in the nation in rushing in D3 at a QB (don't remember his name anymore). Other than that, maybe Magglio Morales in Long Haul HBD. He was a catcher that had durability of around 50 and still hit about 30-40 HR's a year. More importantly, he was a clutch machine. I have some favorite FCD players that have played with me for 20+ seasons but FCD isn't that popular so it's not worth getting into.

5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating?

- If it was actual me, I would probably be a LF who would hit about .240/.360 with about 20 power and 90 contact. Of course my LHP/RHP would probably be about 40 at best.... If you're talking what I want to be in my brain, of course I would be Mike Schmidt reincarnate.

6). Best piece of advice for HBD?

- I'm probably not the person to ask. I will say to scour the free agent market after the first big push. There are always great role players you can find for cheap. Also, the international market is critical if you want to be good every year.

7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings?

- Apparently control is very over-rated. Having a 90+ control guy can easily wind you up with a guy with a 5+ ERA. On the under-rated side, pitch catching and base running are my favorite ratings.

8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game?

- favorite part of the game is free agency, contracts, and waiver wire. Least favorite is setting all the many layers of settings. Forget one and you're in big trouble. (see me messing up my Rule 5 draft settings when I had the #1 pick)

9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most?

- I'm still really learning in that category. In FCD, I've played with systemhalter and he's very good. I've played with oso quite a few times in GD and he's very good at building programs. I replaced jketchum and played against him in HBD and he routinely builds good programs quickly. Otherwise, check back with me in 10-15 seasons. :)

10). The thing that may surprise us about you?

- I'm sure there are several things. 1) I'm almost 40. 2) If I could code, I would totally build something like WIS just for the fun of it. 3) I coached soccer for 4 years and look forward to doing it some more.
