Fantasy Baseball League?

[a7x1337]

with baseball just around the corner, i figured we should discuss a fantasy baseball league. when would be best for everyone, and what rules/settings does everyone like?

[YankeesSuck]

Yeah I was coming on to make a thread, you beat me to it. We definitly should do it again. I prefer head to head. And who was the winner last year?

[Offcell]

im up for it, i can do it whenever except on wednesdays. I prefer rotisserie personally.

are we gonna go through espn or yahoo?

[beardo]

i'll do it again, btw, i won last years after barely making the playoffs, PM me the info when its done

[poopchow]

Ill do it, i finished reg. season in 1st then i lost in the crapshoot of the playoffs. I want revenge

[Slid3r]

I'm up for it. It seems that Yahoo has the best Fantasy service, the interface is really slick and the experts are decent. Head to head is the way to go also.

if we need to, we can change the date, but mar 29 is fine on my end

[Jimothy51]

I just made this as a preliminary thing. Then again, if nobody has any complaints I guess we could use this league.

OPS is pretty sweet. It is my favorite stat on there.

Edit: Also, anyone who joins the league, please post your team name here so I can keep track of who is who. I know which teams Offcell and a7x have, but not Jimmy or supbro.

[Offcell]

[poopchow]

I changed the draft time to Wed. Mar 28th at 7:00 PM EST

You would.... bitch

[poopchow]

Hey, i cant do 7pm this wednesday, ill be out until like 9:30 that night for school shit. Thursday i have to stay until like 9:30 as well, so can we do it like 10 or 9:30 on wed/thurs?

[Jimothy51]

Okay the draft is now Saturday at 12:30 EST. If you cannot make it just pre-rank your players.

[a7x1337]

you faggot, now i have to get up early :wah:

[Jimothy51]

Pfft, 12:30 is nothing. I had to wake up at 6:30 last Saturday so I could drive to Pennsylvania to celebrate my aunt's birthday.

Actually there is no point in you showing up anyway because you'll probably be out of it by mid-june.:bigwink:

[a7x1337]

haha, i'm sort of kidding, anyway.

Actually there is no point in you showing up anyway because you'll probably be out of it by mid-june.:bigwink:
you mean sort of like the red sox? :redface:

[YankeesSuck]

Your trying to throw off the fantasy master by making all these time changes. Don't act like I dont know whats going on here. :lol:

[poopchow]

Oh well fuck that too. I gotta damn piano lesson that will go from then till 1:30... maybe ill catch the last couple of rounds then.


Its ok, ill just try to autopick...

[YankeesSuck]

Yeah so I have to work at 12 anyways on Saturday. So I wont be there. I was gonna be at it Wednesday night. Thats ok though I guess.

[a7x1337]

well this is kind of gay.

[AsHopeDies]

I gotta damn piano lesson that will go from then till 1:30.

Piano lesson...I think we all know you wouldn't compete if you are missing your sports related activities for piano lessons. I woulda kept that one to myself ;) At least lie and say you are gonna be boning some girl or playing football or something.

[a7x1337]

eh, nothing wrong with piano. keyboard in metal bands is awesome, and even classical piano has its place.

[Jimothy51]

Can everyone post the times they will be available on Sunday. I want as many people to be there as possible and there are a lot of times still available for Sunday. I will be home from 12:30 in the afternoon on.

[CheeseMonkeys]

Dude, why did you change it? Thursday was fine. This time is now just stupid. If we must...

[YankeesSuck]

I usually do nothing on Sundays. Up to you though.

[poopchow]

sunday seems fine, if i dont show it will be because of my own bastardness. Its just funny how i got the the time to switch when it was on wed, then shit hits the fan...

But i dont know why you changed it in the first place.

[YankeesSuck]

Who chickened out? There is a spot open everyone, someone left.

[a7x1337]

so yeah, i just remembered that i won't be back until sunday evening around 6. i'm going to jersey on saturday night, and will be coming back the next afternoon.
Dude, why did you change it? Thursday was fine. This time is now just stupid. If we must...
yeah, i even had today written down on my calendar since i always forget the drafts :p

[Chewy]

i'm going to jersey on saturday night, I'm sorry to hear that...:p


I'm ok with what ever time works but seriously keep in min some of us live on th west coast.

[a7x1337]

I'm sorry to hear that...:p
i'm going to see the nets game, and maybe to see 300. so it's not THAT bad :redface:

[poopchow]

Hahah damn this is wierd. Im going to play some football at 12:30 sunday for a couple hours, but its fine it i miss the draft. I did last year and got 1st place reg. season. Plus you have being trying to please too many people and been trying to coordinate this shit so you deserve a break.

I probably wont be there but ill work my shit out.

[a7x1337]

i have a feeling that if we had done the draft tonight, i would've been the league champion :(

[beardo]

wait, i won last years, PM ME THE INFO!

[YankeesSuck]

wait, i won last years, PM ME THE INFO!
Cool I'll send you info. We need the champ in. Someone left so there is a spot left.

[beardo]

ok cool im in, team name is "This is SPARTAAAAAAAA!"

[YankeesSuck]

Cool lol nice name. I play you week 1. Taking you out! So who dropped out of the league though?

[davy_909]

can i get in on this or is it too late??

[Jimothy51]

Sorry, the league is full.

The FINAL draft time is 2:30 PM EST on Sunday. For those of you who can't make it please pre-rank your players.

[a7x1337]

[Jimothy51]

Chewy's team is stacked.

[a7x1337]

looks like i've got the team to beat :)

edit: chewy's team is physically painful to look at

[poopchow]

Jim's got a good team. I need RPs like a mother and could use a more solid OFer. Willing to trade Jeter and Dye. I wasnt there for the draft but my team is managable.....fuck my pitching sucks

[YankeesSuck]

Yeah so who is The Shoes? You must be a Red Sox fan, getting Ortiz with your first pick.

[Chewy]

edit: chewy's team is physically painful to look at

funny most folks just say that about me and not my team... meh. Frigging hell though lost first game this season by 1 run. :banghead:

[YankeesSuck]

Wow 9 of my players arent playing today due to rain. All Red Sox, Phillies and Mets players.

I can't believe that team is winning. Although, i'm sure you picked up some good waivers:boink: . Key to winning baseball leagues is, draft all the best hitters, and wait to the late rounds to draft pitching(snag a closer early though). Solid pitchers come a dime a dozen, and many come available via Waiver wire through the season, plus it's good to trade pitchers while they are at a peak cause pitchers almost never stay fully hot through a season. My team is so stacked on hitting it's ridiculous, and i'm in first by 15.5 games.

Catcher- Ramon Hernandez, Lo Duca
1B- Mark Teixiera
2B- Chone Figgins
3B - Miguel Cabrera
SS- Derek Jeter
OF- Manny Ramirez
OF- Hideki Matsui
OF- Hunter Pence, Xavier Nady
Utility- Aramis Ramirez, Ryan Braum

Pitching is just a bunch of average ones, with solid numbers. I had BJ Ryan, but he's done for the year. I traded Oswalt for Manny a few weeks ago, cause i knew manny had to start to turn it on, and i was right:ahhh:

Kenny Rogers
Andy Pettitte
Roger Clemens
Yovani Gallardo
Tim Lincecum
Joe Blanton
Pat Neshek
Raffy Bentancourt
Kevin Gregg


Keep that system in mind for next year, be hot on the waiver wire, and you will always be an elite team.

[YankeesSuck]

The standings are so close lol. But my team was so far back all year till like a month ago.
