Fantasy League

[slayermin]

I'm in for another season. If there are changes, I would hope they are done before the season starts and not changed during the season.

That's my hope. Though I proposed a discussion at one point last season, I'm pretty much staunchly against changing the rules in midstream.

The revival of this thread is intended to create discussion of possible rules changes now, before the season starts.

Might be better to start a new thread . . . .

[chode_regulator]

not sure if yall filled up the 12 owners yet. i didnt feel like reading all the posts.
anywho if you need anyone else im in. hitme up with a pm


edit:im a dumbass. i just realized this was started from last year. either way i guess yall are wnating to start up again, so im still in. :downspin:

[whottt]

In...and I issue a direct challenge to timvp to join and face me based on his drafting ability...not his ability to switch out 45 different pitchers at 2AM in the morning.


You're better than that timvp(see the fantasy basketball and football leagues)...and I offer you the chance to prove it this year :tu

BTW, my solution for the adds drops problems...expand the rosters for the playoffs and then cut off any further transactions...just like they do in real baseball.

Actually, in real baseball, they expand the rosters before the playoffs and then contract them again for the playoffs and cut off further transactions -- teams go with what they've got (though they can change who's active and not between rounds)

I think the best solution is to either put a hard cap on transactions during the playoffs (a reasonable number per week, basically in the event of injury) or to completely prohibit transactions during the playoffs.

Another option is to put hard caps on position usage.

Still another is to use no counting stats (HR, RBI, K, W, SV) and use only metrics (winning percentage, save percentage, K/9 inn, etc).

I think the first two are more reasonable than the last one for a lot of reasons, but all of that can be discussed.

Meanwhile, I've set up a league that keeps all of last year's settings. I'll PM the information to last year's owners with a response deadline that will come pretty soon; after that, I'll open the league to others who might wish to join.

i dont think you can do that in yahoo leagues...i may be wrong though

[Melmart1]

I'm in for sure, sorry I haven't been around much but been very busy.

I would like a cap on add/drops if at all possible for the playoffs. I like whottt's idea about expanding rosters but if you can't do that with Yahoo then a cap that we can all agree on is fine.

And whottt, it wasn't luck last season. You shall soon see. :)

[ATRAIN]

FWD have we set this league up yet?

[FromWayDowntown]

FWD have we set this league up yet?

There is a league set up on Yahoo. I sent along the sign-up information; haven't checked the league page yet to see who has joined, but I'll do that over the weekend.

After that, it's going to open season on spots, so if you're a returning owner and want to play, get on Yahoo and sign up.

FWD, i'd like one of those other spots if one is available...thanks

[whottt]

FWDT, I don't have the login info for that league. If you wouldn't mind resending it to me via PM.

[ATRAIN]

I sent it to you man

[AFBlue]

I've never done fantasy baseball before, but I'm definitely interested...if there's a spot.

Anyone got a rundown of the rules?

[alamo50]

I am interested.

[timvp]

I'm signed up in the league. whottt's trash talking has me ready to beat him again :makemyday

its not only whottt you have to worry about!!!

[Melmart1]

OK, I am signed up, my time is called "Each Hit" and I hope that all of you do :)

Just waiting to see when/where I send payment, or did I miss that? I PM'd FWD about it already.

[FromWayDowntown]

OK -- at this point, I have 5 entered teams: FWD, ATRAIN, timvp, Melmart1, and slayermin.

I have a lingering invite to whottt.

That makes 6 of the 12 teams. Before the end of the week, I'll send the league information to the people who've expressed an interest in joining. If you were in last year and want back in for this year but haven't yet signed up, time is running out.

[whottt]

I think chode regulator was in last years league. I'm in BTW FWDT..I just can't remember my yahoologin but I'll find it.

[timvp]

I think chode regulator was in last years league. I'm in BTW FWDT..I just can't remember my yahoologin but I'll find it.It's Brent Barry Quota with the password ilovebones. Remember the password is all one word :tu

[whottt]

Thanks! Can you believe I forgot that login?

PS: I guess I really don't want to know how you knew the password.

[FromWayDowntown]

It's Brent Barry Quota with the password ilovebones. Remember the password is all one word :tu

Apparently, it's on.

[FromWayDowntown]

I think chode regulator was in last years league. I'm in BTW FWDT..I just can't remember my yahoologin but I'll find it.

I think the 6 who haven't come back yet are:

TPark
yavozerb
Kori
Johnny Blaze
The Truth
degenerate_gambler

[whottt]

I think the 6 who haven't come back yet are:

TPark

Probably tired of getting his asswhupped.



yavozerb

He'll be back.



Kori

By the end of the year her team was tougher than timvp's...she's probably gm'ing his team.



Johnny Blaze

He'll be back...



The Truth

Absolutely does not want no more of this league after last year.



degenerate_gambler

Probably out of money or something.

[sribb43]

i'd love to get in if there is an open spot

[ATRAIN]

I think tpark aka eric b will play did you send him that info?

[Thunder Dan]

I'll play if you guys have any openings. when are you holding a draft?

[ATRAIN]

You are aware you wont be able to draft brady quinn right?

[Thunder Dan]

You are aware you wont be able to draft brady quinn right?

Well then I'm out

[florige]

I will play this season if there are anymore spots left.

[AFBlue]

How much is the league and what are the rules?

Look I've never played before so this may be easy money for whoever wins...but I know a few things about baseball and I'm interested in jumping into the fantasy baseball thing.

So, if there's a spot for me, send me a PM with the rules and the cost...and I'm in.

[FromWayDowntown]

Still 5 players short. For those who are interested in filling out those spots, here's the information:

For those who do, the league is in Yahoo and the particulars for signing up are:
