[Mr.Erskine]

I'm going to give it a try... I've never done fantasy baseball before.

[elderboy02]

I am in. Is there any way we can get rid of the Inherited Runners Scored category? I remember last year that being a problem b/c you would lose if you got just 1 and the other guy had 0

[hotreds]

I removed IRA and added "relief losses"

[Starscream]

What's the entry fee?

[hotreds]

Oh, I dunno. Maybe we could all send a fiver to Fred or Richard and just play for the troops and the fun of it?

Billy Crystal is my backup SS.

[Mr.Erskine]

If it's okay--I'd like dibs on Michael Jordan

[Coach Deg]

What kind of draft are you going to have? I'd like in but won't be able to long in til tomorrow.

[Starscream]

Dusty is that you? Platoon in LF sucks...:td










:r

[hotreds]

I got dibs on Johnny Bench!

[hotreds]

Draft isn't until March 26th at 8pm. Live draft.

[awsmith4]

I'm in!!!

[hotreds]

bump. We need 1, would love 3 or 5 more.(Need an even number of teams to have 2 divisions) Think about it. Have fun and support the troops with a fiver!

[TheTraveler]

I'd like to join in! This will be my first fantasy baseball experience so I guess I've got some research to do. :)

[hotreds]

Ride 'em cowboy!

[TheTraveler]

:banger

I'm now the proud GM of the shiny new team 'Mudville Marauders'.

Tremble and weep! :su :su :su

It's all good.
I've never played before either.:lv

At least Jordan played baseball... :P

[elderboy02]

You call what Jordan did baseball? :r

[St. Lou Stu]

I want to see a Dion Sanders/Michael Jordan showdown!

[Cigargal]

I want to see a Dion Sanders/Michael Jordan showdown!

please not on a baseball diamond

[Mr.Erskine]

I think Jordan would make Sanders eat the ball... Jordan's waaay more competitive and Sanders is waaaay more mouth.

[Starscream]

:banger

I'm now the proud GM of the shiny new team 'Mudville Marauders'.

Tremble and weep!
Nah...
Casey struck out.;)
You call what Jordan did baseball? :r

Definitely. For someone with little to no baseball experience, he did quite well to put on a decent performance in Double A ball.

[awsmith4]

I think Jordan would make Sanders eat the ball... Jordan's waaay more competitive and Sanders is waaaay more mouth.

You know Deion was actually not too bad a baseball player. When he was with the braves he did quite well. But you are correct he is a lot of mouth.

[hotreds]

The boyz loved the fact Michael bought them a fancy bus to travel in.

[Starscream]

You know Deion was actually not too bad a baseball player. When he was with the braves he did quite well. But you are correct he is a lot of mouth.

Deion was a bit overrated, but he was a helluva baseball player.

Neon Deion!

[Mr.Erskine]

You know Deion was actually not too bad a baseball player. When he was with the braves he did quite well. But you are correct he is a lot of mouth.

Oh, I'll never dispute Sanders' athleticism...

[hotreds]

We need one more playah!

[hotreds]

[hotreds]

uno mas player

[hotreds]

Still looking for one more brave soul....

[smitdavi]

I'll be your Huckleberry

[hotreds]

Grassy ass!

[Cigargal]

When do we draft??

[hotreds]

Fri Mar 26 8:00pm EDT

[Starscream]

And of course I'll be out of town for the draft...:sad
It's a long season, so I'll have to make up ground. Somebody save Joey Votto for me.:D

[Starscream]

If I set my pre-draft rankings, but am not online while the draft is going on, will it pick for me based on my preset rankings or will it just give me a bunch of random picks?

[smitdavi]

If I set my pre-draft rankings, but am not online while the draft is going on, will it pick for me based on my preset rankings or will it just give me a bunch of random picks?

It will draft based on your presets. Once alot of players have been taken and it's outside your draft presets I believe it will either start filling spots with the best available or it will just take the best available regardless of position and need.

:tuThanks, David.


I'm in a mock draft right now. That seems to be what's happening in there as well.

[Mr.Erskine]

I'll be missing the draft as well. I trust Yahoo! though. I have missed the draft for the football season the past two years, and last year I finished second in my league. I didn't fare so well this year, but that was because I made some huge bad decisions.

I have my top-25 set.

[hotreds]

I suggest you pick more than just 25 as they could be gone in a coupla rounds. Pick your top 200(even use a magazine or something) so that your choices are made. Or, look at Yahoo's rankings- and if you're happy with them, let Yahoo make your picks.

[hotreds]

8 PM EDT tomorrow is the draft. Anybody else having trouble connecting to the draft page?

[shilala]

I finally signed up. Appears we're still one head short.

[hotreds]

Yup- we either need one more player, or we'll hafta change to only one division.

Draft being tomorrow at 8, if by 5pm we don't have one more player, I'll change the format to one division.

[hotreds]

Well, turns out we need an even number of teams, no matter one/two or three divisions. So we DO need another player!

[elderboy02]

Bump for 1 more player.

[smitdavi]

Would it be easier if I dropped out to make it even? I'm already in 3 leagues, and this would be my 4th.....which is a little much.

[shilala]

[elderboy02]

If you aren't 100% wanting to devote time, I would drop out :2

Whatever you want to do :tu

I GOT A GUY!

I'm emailing him now, he agreed and will be at the draft this evening.

[hotreds]

Awesome!!!

[smitdavi]

I'm still in, don't worry. I was just trying to make it a little easier

[St. Lou Stu]

I'm still in, don't worry. I was just trying to make it a little easier

If I wanted it easy, I wouldn't have gotten married. ;)

[smitdavi]

If I wanted it easy, I wouldn't have gotten married. ;)

lol thanks. Atleast I will take pleasure knowing that I'm going to whoop your a$$ :D

[St. Lou Stu]

lol thanks. Atleast I will take pleasure knowing that I'm going to whoop your a$$ :D

Bring it!
lol, Don't tell Katie I said that about being married. I wouldn't want both of you to kick my butt. :D

[smitdavi]

Bring it!
lol, Don't tell Katie I said that about being married. I wouldn't want both of you to kick my butt. :D

Lol, it's not me you need to be worried about. It would be Bridgette and Katie that would be beating down the door to open up a can :r :r

[hotreds]

2 hours....

[elderboy02]

40 minutes.

[Mr.Erskine]

Looking forward to a fun season! BUT... is this "whiffed 114 times in 258 at-bats" ever something you want to see?

[TheTraveler]

All right!!! It's kick butt time! Let's hear it for the Mudville Marauders as they survey the field that will soon be littered with exhausted and humbled opponents!!!

:D :D :D

[elderboy02]

Ain't no one beating me this year. Last year I came in 2nd and I learn from my mistakes ;)

[smitdavi]

You sure are confident about that lol

[elderboy02]

You sure are confident about that lol

Nah. Not too confident, but I like to talk smack.

[shilala]

I did pretty good for not participating in the draft. I always do better that way, except when Vinnie picks for me.
I looked at the player's bench and there's an awful lot of power left sitting down. Some good pitching help, too. I'm gonna go find some power meat as soon as I can swap out players. :tu

Last place...:hn

[shilala]

Last place...:hn
It's a looooong season, Andy. I'm currently in first place, and while that's awesome, I know one thing for sure. Things change. :)
I was like 14-4-2 last week and I think I'm 3-10-7 for this week at the moment.
I went and changed up tons of stuff, and I do that all year long.
If I finish above .500 I'm thrilled. My average goes up every year, and I want to finish above .600 this year, which is really tough. I'm watching ball every day and keeping good tabs on my team to make sure it doesn't slip. It's a lot of work, but I don't have anything better to do. :tu

[elderboy02]

:bh I am in last place. I have my star players on the DL :hn

I need like 18 DL spots :hn

[shilala]

Scrape them off, brother. It'll leave me something to shop through later. :D

Scott you may want to check but I think we are only able to make 52 moves during the season.

[St. Lou Stu]

Scott you may want to check but I think we are only able to make 52 moves during the season.

Yep....
"Max Moves: 52"
You're halfway done for the season brudder man.

[shilala]

Scott you may want to check but I think we are only able to make 52 moves during the season.
I wouldn't even know where to look, but you might be right.
We've never had that in our other leagues here in the past, but Hugh set this one up. Hard to tell what that crazy sumb!tch might have done. :)

[elderboy02]

I'm last in this league, but I'm first and second in the other two leagues I'm in. Three fantasy baseball teams is way too much for me.:hn Fantasy football I could mes with once or twice a week. Baseball is every day.

[Starscream]

Yep....
"Max Moves: 52"

By moves, I assume you mean drop/add/trades right? Not moves from the bench to active, right?

[Starscream]

Bump.

[St. Lou Stu]

add/drops only

**edit**
Upon further review...
Max Moves: 52
Max Trades: No maximum

[Starscream]

:tu

I've made about 52 moves from my bench to active roster already, but only added/dropped about three players.

[Starscream]

Dan sucks!:D Commie...


Just kidding, Dan.;s

[hotreds]

There is no max on the number of "active" to "bench" moves you can make.

[elderboy02]

Man my team sucks. It just goes to show that if your star players are hurt, your team blows. I just wish these guys would get healthy. I think it is too late though.... my team is out of contention. Who do I send my cigars to?

Dump the hurt players and get some others. Or put them all on the bench until healthy. Make sure you have enough players to put up some numbers everyday, though.

[elderboy02]

They are on the DL, so they aren't taking up spots. There just aren't any good free agents. We have too many teams in the league to pick up anyone worthwhile.

[hotreds]

You have 5 DL slots to place your players- and after that you can add a player to replace same. Yes- we have a lot of teams so good players are hard to find. So, you can keep your DLed players and they don't take up a roster spot. When the are activated, you will have to get rid of a player to reinstate them.

This year, it was decided that the entry fee would simply be a fiver for the troops- we'd play for fun and for the troops. So, anyone can send me or Richard a fiver for the troops at anytime as their entry.

Dan- it's not even May yet, brother!

We only have 3 DL spots ;) :bh

I will bring the entry fee to the HERF in June :tu

I know it is only May, but holy heck I am behind :r I just picked up some players so hopefully I may win a game or two.

There are plenty of good players out there, Dan. You just have to do your research. All the big names have been taken, but plenty of young and fresh talent out there.

[chippewastud79]

Can't load up your team with Reds players and expect to dominate in fantasy baseball. :td

[shilala]

There's tons of talent still. It's a bit puked over from last week, but theres still lots of opportunity.
It seems like there's a lot more power available tan years past. I always pick players for power first, speed second. There's lots of kids in the free agents who are gonna hit the ball hard and move into the top of the order as soon as an old guy gets hit in the wrist with a pitch.
That's a really fun part of the game tat the 52 max moves takes out. Dealing within the boundaries of the league rules makes it more challenging, too.
There's a strategy for every category.
See of Marlon Byrd is still available, Dan. He's a good power addition to your outfield, and you're thin.

[elderboy02]

...

No dice. Someone else has him.

[elderboy02]

I did pick up some other guys. I dropped Drew Stubbs and some other crackhead.

[Starscream]

That's why you're last. You have Drew Stubbs, and I bet some other Reds players. Show no loyalty to the Reds in your fantasy league, unless you have Rolen and Votto (like me). And don't forget, Chapman isn't a big leaguer just yet, so he's not bringing any points for you yet.:D

Don't let them smack talk the Big Red Machine, Dan!

Cigargal you are cool in my book :tu

It's ok, I'm allowed to talk smack. I'm a Reds fan too.

[hotreds]

Don't let them smack talk the Big Red Machine, Dan!

This is the only Big Red Machine I'm aware of:

Everything else is but a little red wagon.(Except for 1990.)

Thanks Hugh!
I also just read back through the prize/contribution part of this thread.... I cannot recall if I sent yourself or Richard anything for this or recently for that matter.
My prize will be out shortly.

[elderboy02]

Hugh, did I already give you sticks? If not, let me know and I will bring them to the HERF on the 23rd :tu

[Starscream]

My prize will be out shortly.

:tpd:

[hotreds]

No worries. I think we decided that we'd just play for fun. But, I'll send you a little something for your victory!

[TheTraveler]

I did just OK for my first ever fantasy baseball team I suppose. Thanks everyone for playing! :)
