we need to get the 2010 league rolling. The anticipation is killing me. My scouting department and I have the masterplan that will trump any computer. This is the year of You Hang It, I Bang It.

[ATRAIN]

hahah yes I cannot wait for the league this year. Sorry Dan but this is the year of Atrain.

I have a new strategy this year. One never seen in fantasy baseball. Next year at this time I will be publishing magazines and doing rounds on podcasts nationwide giving my advice. 2010 is the year fantasy baseball is changed for good. It is going to be like when they incorporated the forward pass in football

[slayermin]

Just look at Bo Jackson, he wasn't when he was playing for the Royals, but was great for the White Sox.

[Thunder Dan]

just got the email. Yahoo Baseball 2010 launched today.

Do you have everyone you need for the league?

I think there might be a spot or two. I'm not really sure since I'm not the commish only the league antagonist. Ask FromWayDowntown

Depends on how many register. If form holds, most of the league will return, but a few spots will be open. Also, we played with 10 teams last season, instead of 12. If we can find enough owners, I think a 12 team league is preferable in many ways.

I do have a friend who is not a member of ST who would like to join our league, too. I've told him that I'd bring it up with the holdovers and see if there is any opposition to that idea. I'd highly recommend him, if only because he's very interested in fantasy baseball and appears to me to be a diligent team owner (something that we haven't always had in our league).

I'll set up the league in the next few days and open it up for registration. We can discuss the rules and stuff once I've set the league up and started a thread about it. But if there are rules changes you're interested in seeing, it's a good time to bring those things up for discussion.

There is a part of me that doesn't want to play this year, and I can't tell you why. I think it may be the winter blahs. I haven't entered spring training fever mode yet. Anyhoo, I am in still, I know I will get over it. I just hope all those that play this year play the whole year. It's frustrating to see good players rotting on benches of people who quit before the all-star break.

it's not the winter blahs, It's because your team sucked so bad last year and lost to me in the playoffs. Your feeling is how people in Kansas City feel around this time of year, the rest of us live in Boston, New York and LA where we look forward to spring training.

[FromWayDowntown]

I just hope all those that play this year play the whole year. It's frustrating to see good players rotting on benches of people who quit before the all-star break.

That, I absolutely agree with. That's why I hope that there will be some willingness to allow my non-ST buddy to play.

[Thunder Dan]

I don't understand why people quit. This league is 1000x more exciting than any of the dynasty leagues that people spend years playing.

[alamo50]

Kick the quiters out and replace them with willing GM's.

we should have it mandatory to show up to the draft

The transition from season-to-season tends to weed out those who don't really care that much about it.

The bigger problem is people who enter the league with good intentions of playing throughout the season but (for whatever reason) are unable to keep up with their teams as the season progresses. Not sure what exactly can be done about that -- changing owners in midstream seems to be rife with arbitrariness (what cons utes quitting? what happens with the entry fee?).

[alamo50]

No, I mean entering the new season. The quitters from last year should get left out innitialy. IF their spots are not filled with new willing GM's they can pay up and still enter if they want to.

we should make it a keeper league. People don't quit those. And that will also end alot of the ing people do about transactions in the playoffs. Maybe a 3 player keeper that you can only keep for like 2 seasons. That's how my football league is and even the ty teams hang around for trades

[Melmart1]

I have zero issues with your buddy taking a spot.

[ATRAIN]

I have no problem with your friend playing either.

[slayermin]

Do This.

[Thunder Dan]

I want to get my draft position so I can start proper prep

[yavozerb]

If there are any spots available I would be interested in playing this year..

[FromWayDowntown]

I'll try to set the league up tonight or tomorrow.
