fantasy baseball

[LOGAN]

ok so i know its a little early and i cant set up the league yet but im trying to get a headstart on who wants in and what kinda league we wanna do this year.

one of the main things that happens is the fact not everyone can make a live draft so i was thinking that maybe we could run the draft here in this forum(depending on wether stingray or any mods would have a problem with it that is ) setting a 24 hour time limit per pick (course i wuold hope it wouldnt take that long each pick) that way everyone involved has time to make the best pick for their team and look at some stats unlike yahoo who gives you 1:30 seconds to make a pick.

another thing i was wondering if anyone would like to make this a keeper league and keep say 3 guys and 1 rookie per year or just do the standard h2h redraft style year to year. id like to get at least 12 (hopefully) good owners who are going to play the whole time and not just stop mid season (we had a pretty good thing going in football this year and most people stuck with it all season) .

so anyone interested i guess post it up here and vote on the poll and give me your thoughts on how yould like things to go.

[JhaxShucksChock]

I'd definitely be interested and I am one of those good owners who won't disappear. I personally lean towards the redraft league just because it's more likely here to have owners come in and out after a year or two. The only keeper league I do is with a group of really good friends where people aren't going anywhere. A live draft would be tough, I like the idea of doing it in a forum here if people are cool with it.

I'm in(Warpigs)

I think it my be hard to have a post by post draft in a forum here...keeping track and all.
I like the cheat sheet provided by yahoo,it's broken down by positions and there is no chance whatsoever of drafting a player who's already been picked..lol..I can see it coming.
I don't know,maybe it'll go smooth.

oh...non keeper league.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I guess I gotta defend my CROWNS from last season, so count me in...

I think redraft is the way to go...

[LOGAN]

actually im involved in a post by post draft on another forum i blelong to and in round 9 so far there has only been one incorrect pick and it was fixed almost immediately . the only problem i could see is that we would need at least one mod to be able to edit a players taken post so people could figure that out. (hopefully one will join) (i would also keep a going tab on the players taken since i will nedd it to input players later when the league gets created). there are plenty of fantasy sites other than yahoo to get projections from and you can print out palyer lists and keep track if you so wished.

anyways either way atleast we can get the idea out there early and hopefully get enough teams and stick with it owners to make a competetive league.

[Ovaherenow]

Please include me in any baseball league that we are doing in the Wackbag league. I would prefer a H2H auto draft league..I've done Sportingnews, ESPN and Yahoo last year, and Yahoo's free league was the best by far, even better than the paid ones on ESPN and Sportingnews....that's my 2 cents.

email me at "oavirusxm202@yahoo.com"

thanks.

[dixxon]

I'm deffantly in.

[LOGAN]

it will be a yahoo league (as they all are ) . autodraft on the other im not a fan of. we have done live drafts on yahoo in the past and thats all i really care to do. im not abig fan of letting yahoo decide who im going to have on my team (since i dont really agree with any of their rankings ever.and im not going to go through each one and pre rank 300 players.) .

so far we have

not a bad start so far.

[Silent Game]

Cool....where's Wack?

[JhaxShucksChock]

Agreed on the live draft, I'm not really interested if its auto pick. If we did it here we'd just pick an offline draft and once we're done someone can input the results.

yep which is me since im the commish. i do it every year for the football league i run .

[Pickeled Punk]

I would join would be good to be in a league with wackbaggers. I agree on the live draft no auto draft ever works right. How would you determine draft order?

if we did it here i would get someone that is outside the league (but a wackbag member) to enter then names in this program here http://www.profantasysports.com/TacklsDraftRandomizer.php

it randomizes the draft order. otherwise if we do the draft on yahoo after the league is set up yahoo will predetermine the draft order before the draft.

You can have that job, I do it for just about every league with my friends. Usually not a pain in the ass but I'll be one of the common folks for this league.

hey, this is my first post on the board but i have been lurking for awhile , is it cool if i can get in your fantasy baseball league?

not a prblem with me as long as your interested in playing it out for the season.

so we so far have 8 peeps at least 2 to 4 more and were off and rolling. i will send out pm's to all involved before we start anything to make sure everyone is still interested in being involved. might have to throw one wacks way and see if he wants in this year.

Good deal...this is shaping up very quickly and nicely.

The past 2 baseball seasons have been good and this looks like it should be no different!

COME ON SPRING TIME!!!!!

[wackadoo]

i will rule this league! h2h is the best. live is good and i really dont care if its redraft or keeper.

[JhaxShucksChock]

Just a suggestion, should we keep it at 10 teams? 12 to me is the max and even at that point you're really getting down in the depths of players when it comes to your bench.

[LOGAN]

yeah i dont want anymore than 12 really but if we get 10 and dont see any more interest then 10 it will be.

[Butt Nugget]

Count me in. Live draft if we could-there are usually some fairly flexible draft dates/times. Has to be close to opening day. Redraft.

[LOGAN]

ok so that makes 10

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LOGAN]

so anyone else interested here? league should be set up next tuesday depending on how everything works out with mlb buying the rights to everything from the mlbpa.

[Silent Game]

Cool

When would the draft be? I'm out in California for work until the 18th and I'm not sure I'd be able to do one while I'm here, but I still def. want in.

[LOGAN]

i prolly wont schedule the draft till march sometime . week or two before the season i would guess. i just wanna get the league set up and everyone joined up so i know how things will work out since for h2h you have to have an even number of teams for the draft to actually happen. we had that prob last year and it was kinda a mess.

[CrunchyJunk]

I want in (Ethnics). i got my ass kicked in football so I have to redeem myself somehow. H2H redraft is my preference.

Also I'd prefer the yahoo live draft, that way I can waste a week reordering my draft order, then not be around during the live draft and let Yahoo make my picks for me anyway... Cause I'm stoopid like that!!!!

But yeah, I'm in for the year, no slacker here.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

no slacker here.

Don't kid your self Judge, your a tremendous slacker...

Who's Judge? and why the accusation?

oh wait....is that a movie quote??

what happens if we dont find the 12th guy/girl? we still gonna run the league?

[CrunchyJunk]

Since I was the last to sign up, I guess I'll have to bow out, dammit.

[Ovaherenow]

we should be able to find one more person to make it an even 12 team league...

[LOGAN]

Since I was the last to sign up, I guess I'll have to bow out, dammit.

hopefully we can get one more person. if not if someone else knows someone that wants in once i set up the league they can join it and let us know how they are blah blah. the only awy you can run and odd number league is by doing roto. there is staill plenty of time before the season so dont bow out yet crunchy. we will get you in there one way or the other.

[JhaxShucksChock]

Wackbag people only? If we need someone I'm sure I could get another person but I'd guess we'd prefer to get a 12th from here. If worse comes to worse we could throw a thread up in the main forum just saying I know it doesn't belong here but we need one more person, first come first serve.

[Silent Game]

how about Spewey?
