***OFFICIAL FANTASY BASEBALL LEAGUE THREAD***

I've created a board league on yahoo. Simple format, head-to-head, 12 teams total, live draft.

League ID# is 75240. Password is "cards".

The league homepage is Point Five Grading

I set a tentative live draft date of Thursday, March 20, at 9:00 p.m. If that's a conflict, let me know and we can change around times. I figure that one would work for most people, but I can change if need be.

I prefer live draft over autopick, because we can all pick who we actually want rather than a computer picking off a random list.

Please only join the league if you're serious about it and will keep up with it on a regular basis.

If you're wondering why I put the max number of weekly transactions at 3, it's to keep people from constantly trading in and out starting pitchers.

Alrighty....let's play ball!!!

    Oh, and also, if you wouldn't mind using your screenname on here as your team name. That way we can sort of have a general idea of who we're playing week in and week out.

    Are we gonna set up some prize structure.

    The draft day and time is showing at 8PM not 9. 9PM Central would be better for me.

    Signed up for the league.

    12 teams is enough, though if there is enough interest add a couple more.

    We should establish some sort of prize structure for the winner before the season starts.

    Any thoughts on making it a keeper league going forward?

  • Options
    12 is a good number.
    if there is enough interest we can start another league!

    Thanks Greg, I appreciate it. Last year was fun...in one PSA league I barely finished ahead of you and in another Morgoth barely beat me!!! So for those of you who have not played before, it can be great fun.

    I am going into this season with lots of hope and a fresh slate!!! good luck everyone

    What do you guys think about the winner receiving a card valued somewhere from $10-25 from each of the league participants?

    I would like to play for prizes as well. I don't mind chipping in up to $100.00 of cash or prizes if everyone else will.

    14 teams is brutal for drafting and quality of players.

    if there is that much interest, maybe we could organize a 2nd league?
  • Options
    The 14 teams though is brutal for player selection, but is having a worse player selection totally a bad thing??
  • Options
    Anyone needing the draft date changed? If so, let me know ASAP.

    Came across an interesting article from ESPN's Matthew Berry. Pretty informative....

    I can't swing $100 so cards work better for me. The winner can pick his favorite set/player/team/decade.

    I changed the draft date to Sunday, March 23 at 9:30 PM (Eastern time). Is that good for everyone???

    That works for me, how long does the draft typically take?

    I'm not sure how long a baseball one takes. I did a live football one last year (offline) and it took 4 hours. I'd say an online baseball one would be around 2 hours perhaps? But also I believe yahoo times each pick, so you only get 3 minutes I think.

    Also, for those of you that have never played, ESPN has a live draft lobby where you can participate in a mock draft. Pretty neat thing to do if you're not used to doing it. Go to espn.com then click on fantasy baseball and look on the right column.

    Yeah, thanks for completely destroying me this week! I was tied for first and now I'm 10 games back of you : (

    I'm really hoping to get back into the top 2 to get the first week bye in the playoffs.

    How many teams make the playoffs? I'm currently in 8th, but I narrow the margin of games every week it seems. Is it top 8 in playoffs? It's been a long run but once I finally figured out some things, I'm almost back to .500.

    Top 6 make the playoffs. There's only 2 more weeks left so you'll need to make a push to get that final spot.

    most leagues are top 6, unless this one is funky lol.

    p.s. did we ever determine prizes??
