I know it's a little bit early to start talking fantasy, but hey, football is over and pitchers and catchers are reporting. Most teams pretty much have all of their holes filled.

Who's ready to get stomped by me again this year?

We gonna do 2 leagues again? I wouldn't mind, becuase I prefer Roto, though most of you guys seem to like H2H better. Either way I'm taking them both again.

I forget who ran the leagues last year, but yeah whoever wants to do it can set it up, if not I guess I can do it.

Nah, I won both leagues. I also won the public league I played. Total dominance.

Nervous Ferret
02-06-2007, 07:12 PM
Yeah thats what I say. I believe I came in 2nd to you in the only league I was in. I thought RoXer was commisioner of that league but I dunno

You should just do it anyway, because at least we know you won't flake out 2 weeks in

FakeLaser
02-06-2007, 08:30 PM
Yeah, I'll probably end up doing it.

I'm not going to have as many catagories in the H2H league though probably. There were like 75.

Nervous Ferret
02-06-2007, 09:15 PM
OK I just remember the lowdown(M)??? from last year. It was actually me who did the Roto league and I gues DW did the H2H league. So yeah thats what we did last year.

I guess Wadding will do his league again and you can do the Roto league

I dunno though there may have been a 3rd league with like The Miz and YOUR Hero but that might have been Wadding's league

DaveWadding
02-06-2007, 11:01 PM
Yeah Miz and Hero were in my league

Well I'm playing in a league with Kevin. If you're not going to invite him, for whatever reason you deem, you can count me out of your league. I'd rather be in a league with someone I work with than someone I barely interact with online.

As every year, I've decided I will keep running a league. Hope that doesn't upset FakeRazor at all...
Not going to have a ton of categories like last year though. That was interesting and made more players valuable, but really, it was overkill.

So far as I know it, there will be.
-Me
-Adder
-Kevin
-Moonax
-Russ (I imagine)
-FakeRazor
-Spilchuk
-Avenger (if he promises to participate all year long)


People that played last year are welcome, just let me know.

Dave, I'll still want in your league too. Usually play in two.

FakeLaser
02-12-2007, 07:50 PM
Hero, I think the amount of categories you have this year should be dependant on how many people sign up.

I mean, last year it was a 16 team league with an assload of positions, so I understand the high amount of categories. If the league is going to be that deep you need a lot of categories because you're going to be carrying some mediocre players who will only contribute in a few categories and will fuck up the rest of them regardless of how good of a manager you are.

I am going to limit the roto league to the standard 12 teams.

That's actually a good point of view. I'll most likely knock things down to 12 teams. Depending on interest.

weather vane
02-13-2007, 02:24 AM
WHICH CATEGORIES?

we should all debate it and make a good league

YOUR Hero
02-13-2007, 10:16 AM
I was considering getting back to simplicity.

BATTERS

hits
runs
rbis
hrs
avg
obp
(maybe triples)

Pitchers
wins
saves
holds
k's
whip


... that's off the top of my head. we can debate from this point I suppose.

weather vane
02-13-2007, 03:24 PM
well for pitchers I would want ERA

batters I would add triples and stolen bases

CNM
02-13-2007, 04:19 PM
I'm not in that league, but I'd go with doubles over triples. Triples are too rare. It's almost like goalie shutouts in hockey.

FakeLaser
02-13-2007, 04:57 PM
I don't know, triples is kind of a dumb category. Not many guys get too many triples.

Stolen bases is definitely a must have.

The roto league will probably include:
Runs, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG
W, SV, HLD, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

Stuff like hits and walks are kind of redundant because they are factored into other catagories.

I might do OPS (on base plus slugging) instead of OBP and SLG, and get rid of K/BB because that's sort of a redundant category as well. It's important to have the same amount of catagories for both pitching and hitting or else one is more valuable than the other.

So, tentatively:
Runs, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS
W, SV, HLD, K, ERA, WHIP

I'm not sure if Yahoo has OPS though. We will see.

Thoughts?

FakeLaser
02-13-2007, 04:58 PM
A real arguement can be made for getting rid of wins for pitching, though you could say the same for holds, but I feel it adds a nice dimension making middle relievers valuable as well.

CNM
02-13-2007, 05:05 PM
Yahoo does have OPS, but most of the time people like to keep OBP and SLG seperately so more players have value.

YOUR Hero
02-15-2007, 09:57 PM
for sure SBs and ERA, bit surprised I missed those, but it was right off the top of my head.

Moonax
02-16-2007, 08:16 AM
Dave - When I join a league I look for a commish to be fair, impartial, intelligent and mature. You are none of those things - so don't flatter yourself into thinking that I would want to join your league.

As for categories - one thing to keep in mind is that the stats chosen don't skew the league in favour of a particular type of player. In previous years there have been leagues that have had HR, Total bases, slugging etc compared with just SB or Hits so as a result having a Barry Bonds type player can win you 3 cats a week while Ichiro might win you just one cat. The same also goes for pitching for example if you have K's + K/9 etc then power pitchers become super valuable while a groundball pitcher like Wang is considered of less value than Randy Johnson.

I also like fielding stats because there is more to the game in real life than just hitting.

So IMO it doesn't matter what the categories are but they should reflect all the different skills required and they should be balanced.

Supreme Olajuwon
02-16-2007, 01:18 PM
Yahoo opened the baseball page today so you guys can set up your leagues whenever you feel fit. I'm down for whatever and as many leagues as I am needed.

FakeLaser
02-16-2007, 01:24 PM
I'd like to include fielding stats but fielding percentage and assists are both pretty weak.

I'm going to set it up later when I get to work, I'll post a message about the details when it's complete.

FakeLaser
02-16-2007, 01:55 PM
Actually, I just put the league up, PM me if you want in. There is a 12 team limit. I guess guys who played in the Roto league last year get priority, otherwise, first come, first serve.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty satisfied with my team, particularly the pitching. Matt Garza could end up being a major sleeper and if Gagne gets injure I have Otsuka right there.

Definately wished I had snagged Thome as my Utility guy when he was still there. Totally forgot about him. Oh well, Lyle Overbay is a decent fit at the utility spot. Solid in most categories.

I also hope Texeira could be good the entire year this year, my offense depends on it.

YOUR Hero
03-19-2007, 10:14 AM
Once they become F/A (tomorrow), they are 1st come, 1st serve. If you try to pick up a guy on waivers, there's an extra day of processing, PLUS if more than one guy goes after him (hence the extra day) the person with the highest priority gets him. Priority is determined by draft position. Eg: Since Fakerazor had the #1 overall pick, he has the lowest priority, Feverpitch, who picked last, has the highest. Everyone else is also ranked accordingly. If you make a waiver claim and are successful, you become the lowest priority for and bump everyone else up 1 position.

As for what I'm looking for, it's either a reliever or a starter. I kinda have need for both, so I'm not 'fussy' at this time.

YOUR Hero
03-19-2007, 10:17 AM
your roster is set at 21 players. Some are bench positions. You can't have more than 21 active guys (plus two IR) guys. If a guy goes on the injured list, (and Yahoo recognizes it) he'll free up a bench spot on your team. You can fill it with whatever you want. When said player comes off the IR you have to drop someone, doesn't matter who as you can't have more than 21 active players.

thanks for all the trade offers, most of them I didn't find equal value or would give me someone who wouldn't help/upgrade over current starters...

1 or 2 were decent and I almost went with... but with everyone starving for pitching and most my staff being "upside potential" guys, I can't deal the few who I count on as "sure things" unless it was a big upgrade over another position and the only batting position I feel very weak at is catcher, the rest are good to servicible.
