Chad's Response

Hello gentlemen my name is Chad Woodard and I live in the Bangor, Maine area.  I have been playing fantasy for 10+ years which has included baseball, football and basketball leagues.  I am excited to be chosen as a candidate to fill the current owner vacancy in High & Tight.

1.  Why do you want to join High & Tight?

   

I hope to become an owner in H&T because of my passion for baseball and the challenge of season long leagues to compete for championships.  I have played fantasy baseball with several of the current owners of your league and know how knowledgeable and competitive they are individually, therefore I anticipate this would be a fun league to be a part of.

2.  Please share any information as it relates to your qualifications. This may includes leagues you are in or have been in, championships, noteworthy acquisitions/strategies, offseason activities, etc. – related to baseball only.

I am currently in two other baseball leagues.  One is an auction league on CBS that I commission and the other is a Yahoo H2H league.  I have several regular season and league championships in my fantasy tenure.  I took an expansion team in the previously mentioned 14 team Yahoo league to the playoffs in my second season. Followed by two championship matchups and a regular season championship in consecutive years.  I was also part of another 14 team H2H Yahoo league that I three-peated in and left due to lack of league competition.  

3.  Describe your management style (active vs. passive, aggressive trader, analytical, specific methodologies, etc.)

I am a very active owner.  I do extensive draft prep. I speculate on break-out bargains based on my own analytical research as you will see in the draft room if I am chosen.  I will utilize the waiver wire for tweaking of my roster.  I attempt to actively address my team weaknesses through trade if the opportunity presents itself.   Of course I want to “win” all trades but I realize every owner has different values so I will negotiate based on the needs of both teams involved.  I have also been known to pull off a three team trade from time to time.
