"However, none of them feel ..."

Though you didn't cite the source, I assume the person who wrote that got paid to write it.
First of all, it's poor form to start a sentence with "however," because "however" is typically used to transition from one phrase to another. Secondly, the noun is "none," is singular. Thus, the proper form of the ensuing verb is "feels." 
Sorry. Fussy former newspaper guy is cranky today.

I wasn't being critical of you at all. It was the guy who gets paid to write for a living.
What I really came on today to say is my league is having its fantasy draft right now. I just took Albert Pujols - with the fourth pick in the 29th round.
And I'm pretty sure if I hadn't taken him in the next-to-last round for mostly sentimental reasons, he would have gone undrafted.

 

We have our draft Saturday (yes, we know it’s after the season starts). It’s an auction draft with 14 teams and no bench. I have him valued at $2, but it isn’t out of the question he goes undrafted.

Bader optioned to minor league camp.  The bench will be Martinez, Garcia, Munoz and Pena.

The Cardinals website says that Mayers and Brebbia are battling for the 13th pitching spot.

Post dispatch said gregerson is likely to enter the season on the 10 day dl because of a a hamstring strain so both mayers and brebbia are likely to make the team.  The other moves based off what ive seen, i agree with.

Brebbia optioned to the minors, Hicks makes the roster.

I hope they’re not rushing a kid so Moz can show off a shiny new toy.

Don't get me started on this shit. Fors knows this, but my fantasy league is run by two brothers who think it's their own little fiefdom. They change the rules to suit them, without any input from the rest of the managers in the league. It's a keeper league, and about four years ago I ended up with three ADP first round keepers - Kershaw, Goldschmidt, and Cargo (when Cargo was good). In previous seasons, if you had more than one first round keeper, you got to defer him to the next round. But the brothers abruptly decided you could only keep one first round pick, so I had to give up two of mine (I kept Kershaw).
We used to do the draft on-line on a weekend morning. One of the brothers - the one who is my friend from college - just took a new job with Hertz that requires him to travel extensively. So he's spending a lot of time on airplanes, without access to the internet. The brothers decided to do a "slow draft" this year with no time limit. We started on March 17 and finished early this morning.
Part of it is my own fault because I should have opted out a long time ago, but I know if I do I'll end up losing a friend I've known for 35 years. I'm such a sucker.

I never got into baseball fantasy. One year i tried but the league i was in seemed to be to much. It was impossible for me to keep up with the constant roster changes. Is that still the way they are ran?

For the most part, yes, and that's why I stopped doing them.  But the one I'm in now doesn't require excessive involvement after the draft.  It's a lot of work up to the draft, however, because in an auction format, you have to establish a price range for each player.

In our league, once you draft your team, that's pretty much your team.  If a player gets hurt you can pick up another player while he's on the DL, but otherwise, you get 6 roster moves for the entire season.  And there's no daily lineups to worry about because there's no bench.  Everyone on your roster simply plays every game.  If I had to pay attention to my lineup on a daily basis I wouldn't do it because I don't have the time.

Waino to dl, Flaherty is the "5th" starter.

I’m not sure that doesn’t make the team better.

I guess we'll find out to night.  My initial reaction was, "Hell yes it will."  Perhaps not immediately, but over the course of the season.

During yesterday’s broadcast they showed Wainwright throwing a bullpen session and politicking for Thursday’s start. I think Flaherty is back in Memphis by the weekend.

That's what I was thinking also.  But it seems to me that it's just going to be a matter of how many bad starts he's able force them to let him try.
 

All of this makes sense until you remember who the manager is. As long as Wainwright is healthy, Matheny will send him out there every fifth day.
