I'm trying to start a Dynasty League on CBSsportsline...

[TheTruth]

Would anyone be interested in joining if I were to set it up. I'm thinking 40 dollars per team. I'm playing around with the settings right now.

Let me know. I'd like to have at least 12 teams.

[Horry For 3!]

You know I will be.

[TheTruth]

Anyone want to play? I have 5 teams right now and I'd like 12 or so. I set the league up on sportsline.com.

It'll be $40 to play, and $80 of the total $480 will go towards paying for the league.

1st place will win $275. 2nd place will win $100, and 3rd place will win $25.

It's going to be a keeper league.

[turambar85]

I will consider joining if the following are met:

1.) Since there are only 12 teams (a very small league) there are large starting lineups - at least 20.

2.) It uses a large minor league system - At least 12-15 minor leaguers to be kept outside of keepers.

3.) We keep a good percentage of our roster - at least 50%.

I am a fantasy baseball vet, hardcore over this stuff, so I am very picky.

[TheTruth]

Turambar this is the Constitution.

Constitution: 12 teams
Two divisions

Roster specifications ---
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, DH, Util, Util, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP
+ 5 bench spots
+ 5 prospect selections (they will be selected in a second draft following the major league draft) Players eligible to be listed as a prospect have to be in the minors.
+ 2 players maximum are allowed to be on the injured list, and will not count against your active roster. They must be on the MLB injured list, and must be reactivated or dropped if when they come off the injured list.

If your roster is illegal during any weekly scoring period, you will receive a 0 for that week. No exceptions.


Game
Head-to-Head
There will be Six playoff teams. The division winners and 4 wild card teams. The division winners will receive a first week bye. The playoffs will take a total of 3 weeks,

Playoff tiebreaker: In the event a playoff round ends in a tie, the team with the best reserve players' stats will advance.
If that is also a tie, we will go to the head-to-head results from the season...a combined total of the stats.
If that is a tie, we will flip a coin.

Keepers ---
Non Playoff Teams will be able to keep a total of 18 players.
3rd - 5th places will be able to keep 16 players.
2nd lpace will be able to keep 14 players.
The Champion will be able to keep 12 players.
Prospects will not count against your big league keepers if they are not on a Major League roster at the end of the season.

Prospect Players
For a player to be considered a prospect, he has to be on a Minor League roster. If they are moved up to a Major League team during the season, you must either drop a player to add them to your roster, or drop the prospect. If you drop a prospect, you can not pick up another one until the next season draft. These players WILL NOT count against your positional quotas.

The rights to prospects can be traded, but the 5 prospect limit remains in effect...so however you have to do it, whether by activating one or dropping one or trading one.....you MUST keep your prospects to 5.

DRAFT
The Draft will be Sunday March 24th @ 6 P.M. If you are not able to attend the draft live, you MUST set your draft list on the league site. You may or may not get your total of 8 Prospects selected by the Computer. If that is the case, you will be able to drop the last player the computer selected for you, and select a Prospect to replace him . The Major League Draft will be a total of 25 rounds, and it will followed by a 5 round Minor League Draft. The draft order will be selected Randomly, and will be unveiled 2 days before the draft. You can trade draft picks anytime in those 2 days, or during the draft. BUT you CAN NOT trade 2 for 1. Each team MUST get the same amount of draft picks as they are giving up.

THE INJURED LIST
Abuse of the Injured list will not be tolerated. If a player comes off the injured list, you have 5 days to take him off. I will be monitoring all lineups very closely, and will give you a warning that your 5 days may be coming up soon. If the player is not taken off the injured list he will be taken off your roster and placed into the free agent pool. There are no exceptions. Even if it is Albert Pujols.

SCORING CATEGORIES ---

Batting
Singles (1 Point)
Doubles (2 Points)
Triples (3 Points)
HR (4 Points)
BB (.5 Point)
SB (1 Point)
Strikeout (-1 Point)

Thanks Joe for giving me a template to work from.

[Mr Dio]

I very well may have an interest.
IMO I'm a 60/40 that I'd like in on the D League.
Is Blaze playin'?, You know he's going to draft Ichiro and Dice K.

Yeah, blaze is in. I have 3 open spots if you want to join the fun. Love to have you.

[Horry For 3!]

How many teams you goin to have Matt?

[TheTruth]

How many teams you goin to have Matt?
12 at least. We may have enough to go with 14.

[TheTruth]

Hey guys, a few changes.

The draft will be Sunday March 24th. The Major League Draft will be 20 rounds, and a 5 round Minor League draft will follow immediately in the League Chat room. If you can't make either one of the drafts, you will need to set up a Draft List on the site for the Major League Draft. For the Minor League draft I will be selecting your players using the Rotoworld Top 150 players list. I'm gonna go straight off the list. So no bitching.

I have 1 more spot open for a 12 team league, and 3 if we can find enough for a 14 team league. Let me know if you have anyone else that wants to join up. They don't have to pay the $40 until the All Star Break.

Joe, your friend hasn't registered yet. Is he still gonna play?

[Kori Ellis]

Hey guys, a few changes.

The draft will be Sunday March 24th.

Sunday is the 25th, just in case you want to clarify.

If I paid more attention to baseball these days, I'd play. But I don't. :(

Good luck to all.

[TheTruth]

Thanks Kori!!!

Yeah guys, it's Sunday the 25th. My bad...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Interesting...I'll have two drafts at the same time.

[TheTruth]

if it isn't a good time, i can push it to earlier in the day if everyone is cool with that..

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

It's no biggie for me, one's Yahoo, the other Sportsline...

[Mr Dio]

No earlier than say 12p...........I don't wake-up on Suns earlier than 11a if I can help it.
What time on Sun is it right now?

[Horry For 3!]

I can do any drafts on Fri or Sat, never on Sun. I always have to work.

[Horry For 3!]

I looked on the League's site and it says the draft is Sat the 24th at 6 pm EST, that is a good time for me. No Sunday draft, thanks.

[TheTruth]

We'll go with the majority. Sat or Sun?

[Mr Dio]

We'll go with the majority. Sat or Sun?


Sat if it starts between 11a and 5p.
Sun I have another draft in the late afternoon/early evening.

[Horry For 3!]

It is your pick in the draft. Recent picks are:

Round 1, Pick 1: Albert Pujols (1B STL)

http://sad.baseball.sportsline.com/

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Because that's what's happening in the San Antonio Dynasty league.

Matthew's is the South Texas Keeper league.

[TheTruth]

That was the first league that I tried to start, but didn't work properly.

[TheTruth]

Ok Guys, this is pretty much final. The draft will be on Saturday @ 1PM. We had multiple owners that couldn't do it on Sunday and some that couldn't do it Sat night, so this is the compromise. The draft order is.

1 Bexar Blaze - Joe
2 Mile High Crushers - Ken
3 Texas Venom - Keith V
4 Dio - Dio
5 McAwesome - Eriks
6 Baseball Daily - Horry for Three
7 Carlos' Team - Carlos
8 To Be Named Later - Katy
9 District Dirt Dogs - Adam
10 David Robinson is God - Jason
11 The Pinoy Pounders - Truth
12 MarroonOut - Keith H

The main draft will be 25 rounds, and the Minor league draft will follow immediately. If you can't make either draft, be sure to make a Draft List for the Major League Draft, and if you want a List for the Minor league draft to send me one via email. If you don't, I will draft your Minor players using the Rotoworld Top 150.

[Horry For 3!]

Joe = asshole

he gets Pujols :pctoss

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Whoohoo!

[TheTruth]

Guys, don't forget to be at the draft. We've already had a few owners let me know they can't be there. I hate people that have lives. So, it'll probably go pretty quick.

Brownie ain't doing a damned thing. He's lying.

As punishment, you should have him draft Shawn Chacon in the first round.

[TheTruth]

If I weren't gonna draft Shawn Chacon, I'd do that to him. I think Chacon is gonna go back to the bullpen and dominate later in the season.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You could probably get him to trade his first-round pick for Chacon.

[Horry For 3!]

Pretty good draft. :tu


I like my team, pretty young and solid.

[Mr Dio]

I made sure and draft for the next 2-3 yrs vs this yr.
As with my Dynasty Football team, yr will be bad to avg but yrs 2-3 will be pretty good to great. Put that in ink.
I'd never been in a Dynasty/Keeper league so I made the mistake in my Dynasty Basketball league of trying to draft mainly from yr 1 on and it didn't help that I snuck into the later rounds of the playoffs and then into the championship.

My team is young and can contend. It just depends on the young players you draft. Also, living up to their potential and not getting injuries.

I was bored, so I figured out the age of your players and your players are actually a lot older than mine. If you count out the minors (which I will have to draft 4 more). You still have to retool your roster because you have 1 more minor leaguer than you are allowed and you only have 2 RP when you have to have at least 3 RP starting.


Average Batters age of your players (without minors) = 29.4
Average Batters age of your players (with minors) = 26.3
Average Pitchers age of your players = 27.8


Average Batters age of my players = 25.2
Average Pitchers age of my players (without minor) = 24.6
Average Pitchers age of my players (with minor) = 24.2

Looks like you'd have a bad ass team if age and not game stats :lol was the thing that decided games. Besides, I'm pretty sure next yr I'll have 2-4 minor leaguers go to my reg roster and my avg age will drop.
I rechecked the stats and I didn't see age as a category we could acquire points in. Hmmmm.... :lol

I feel sorry for the 5 teams that didn't show up to the draft and adjust their player rankings. They have some work to do to overhaul their pitching staffs.

I like my mix of youth and talent. Should be a fun year.

[Mr Dio]

Matt, how do we deal with RP elible P's that actually start games either at or right after the start of the season? Wouldn't they then be SP's?
I'm not talking about a team that that in mid or late season has injs and calls up a bad ass RP to star a game or 3.

You benefit.

If they're eligible, they're eligible.

then you have the ability to start 1 more SP than any other team in the league.

[TheTruth]

We are going to do the Minor League draft through email or this thread. The first pick will be Maroon Out since he had the last pick in the major league draft. I will try to get a hold of him in the next hour or so to get the pick. This is the best way that I know to make sure that everyone has input on who it is that they are going to draft. It's too hard to get everyone together on the weekend. I know that Growth Hormones has asked me to use the rotoworld draft list, since he isn't that familiar with minor league players.

Dio, you are out of minor league options. You need to get your major league roster legal before this weekend.

You CAN have more than 5 minor league players if you aquire them through trades. I'll work on getting a pick from Maroon Out before the night is over.

This is the draft order.

Maroon Out, Truth, David Robinson is God, District Dirt Dogs, Katy, Growth Hormones, Horry for three, Erik, Texas Venom, Mile High Crushers, Dio. It'll snake after each round.

Joe, can you try to get a hold of Adam to get his picks when he is up. There are no time limits. Lets just try to get it done by the time our season starts Next Monday.

[TheTruth]

Oh, and you can't pick up a free agent player if they are in the Minor Leagues. Only players on major league rosters WHEN you pick them up are eligible. So, if there is a stud minor leaguer that isn't on someones minor league roster that gets called up, you CAN pick him up.

[Mr Dio]

then you have the ability to start 1 more SP than any other team in the league.


So, let me make sure I have this right.
Any loopholes we find CANNOT be altered? If that is the case I'm all for it just as long as NO EXCEPTIONS are made later on.

[Mr Dio]

Dio, you are out of minor league options. You need to get your major league roster legal before this weekend.

That is assuming
1) None of them make 40man rosters
2) I keep all those Minor Leaguers on my roster, correct?

Loopholes.

===

You CAN have more than 5 minor league players if you aquire them through trades. I'll work on getting a pick from Maroon Out before the night is over.

Very nice.

===

This is the draft order.

Maroon Out, Truth, David Robinson is God, District Dirt Dogs, Katy, Growth Hormones, Horry for three, Erik, Texas Venom, Mile High Crushers, Dio. It'll snake after each round.

So, if I have less than 5 minor leaguers I don't get my rightful draft spot?
Hmmm, please explain.

[TheTruth]

If you don't have 5 minor leaguers by the time your pick comes around, you can make that pick. I don't see why you would want to drop any of those minor leaguers. Each one is a stud.

[TheTruth]

And 40 man roster doesn't mean anything. They have to be on the 25 man Major League Roster in order to get off of Minor League status.

Nice try though.

[Mr Dio]

If you don't have 5 minor leaguers by the time your pick comes around, you can make that pick. I don't see why you would want to drop any of those minor leaguers. Each one is a stud.

Well, there is one I shouldn't have drafted but the other 5, yeah.

[Mr Dio]

And 40 man roster doesn't mean anything. They have to be on the 25 man Major League Roster in order to get off of Minor League status.

Nice try though.


:lol
Thanks

[Mr Dio]

When is the Minors draft so I can adjust my roster if I want to?

[Horry For 3!]

Oh, and you can't pick up a free agent player if they are in the Minor Leagues. Only players on major league rosters WHEN you pick them up are eligible. So, if there is a stud minor leaguer that isn't on someones minor league roster that gets called up, you CAN pick him up.
You going to make it where players are drafted have the "Keeper" status next to them? Because any player that is picked up from the FA list is only a FA. I can already see if some big player comes from the minors and someone gets them they will try to keep them.

[Horry For 3!]

Also, whenever you have the minor league draft. I will be home after 11 tonight from work. I work 2-11 tomorrow and 11-8 Tues then I have Wed off.

[TheTruth]

The Minor league draft is going to be done through Emails and this thread. I will get a hold of anyone that doesn't post on this board and post their picks.

[TheTruth]

So, let me make sure I have this right.
Any loopholes we find CANNOT be altered? If that is the case I'm all for it just as long as NO EXCEPTIONS are made later on.
That's not so much a loophole as apposed to just the way things work in baseball. People change positions. Happens all the time.

[TheTruth]

Guys, my coworker Keith had to drop out of the league, and I am in the process of trying to find someone to take over the team for free. Shouldn't be to hard hopefully. I am going to make his lineup changes and draft his minor league roster according to the RotoWorld top 150. here is alink to the rotoworld top 150 (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/features/column.aspx?sport=MLB&columnid=2&articleid=27859)

Looking back, I made some sucky picks but my trades that I made during the season put me over the top.
