Signups are open. if you were in THE league last year, you should be getting an email (unless you were Weedwhackers cause I have no idea who you are)

YOUR Hero

02-10-2009, 10:33 PM

THE league?

Oh dear.

YOUR Hero

02-10-2009, 10:35 PM

anyway, that's good. I love baseball way more than hockey. I'' do up my league again this season as well. However I will be in Africa for some of it so I'll need to do a co-commish and someone watch over my team. Hmmm.

DaveWadding

02-10-2009, 10:55 PM

THE league?

Oh dear.

its the league because its the only fantasy league we have where we have had the same 7-8 guys in it since the beginning. Which always makes it more satisfying when I stomp a mudhole in your ass, you old fogey.

YOUR Hero

02-10-2009, 11:18 PM

holy cow, did that ever take forever to get a time slot. Everything was taken up, I had to set it up for this Saturday. CRAZYYYY

YOUR Hero

02-10-2009, 11:19 PM

OK so.

I have 5 open spots, 4 if ct2k wants back in. I wasn't sure if he(you did) or not. So...

02-11-2009, 02:15 PM

Hero, if I may start the nagging and complaining early this year, you've got 8 hitting categories to 6 pitching categories. May I suggest eliminating total bases or hits?

02-11-2009, 03:44 PM

i'd like to join one or two of these leagues. Please send me email.

02-11-2009, 03:46 PM

I'll be drafting all non steroid users. So please stay away from the greatest baseball player ever, Ken Griffey Jr. Thanks.

RoXer

02-11-2009, 03:48 PM

I dunno. I wanna join but I decided to to retire from fantasy nonsense. I think I 'll just do one league this year, maybe that will work.

Someone hit me up.

02-11-2009, 05:08 PM

FYI, I'm going to see about switching the draft day since it's so soon, but the Yahoo server was overloaded and getting anything was a bit tough. Now thatI have something, I'll see if I can push it back some...

Outlaw, I sent you a PM.

MVP, have you played with us before :?: - can't remember :$

Yeah I played in your league a few years ago. Last year I tried to cut back on fantasy baseball leagues so I only joined Wadding's since I've done that one for a long time. If there's still an open spot I'm willing to join.

I'd like in one of the leagues, if there is place left open.

I'm an active participant, as the hockey guys will declare.

02-13-2009, 01:27 PM

WTF Griffey hasnt signed with Seattle yet? I dont know what i'll do with my first rounder now.

Heros Welcome

02-19-2009, 06:43 PM

Question to throw at all of ya.

I'm in a 10 team Head to Head league. I got the 10th pick overall. Snake system so a pick follows. From the looks of it Sizemore is going to drop to me and I plan on taking him. It's the second pick that I have no idea where to go.

Do I go with Hamilton? Since OF is deep do I pass on him and go for Tex? 1st base is deep too. Or should I go with someone like Kinsler whos a stud at a slim position?

RatedGSuperstar

02-20-2009, 12:16 AM

I guess it depends on your draft strategy, but that early with so many good players still available, I'd probably just take the best player available, especially since you won't get to pick again for awhile. I guess you could go for the best guy at a thin position just to protect yourself from watching a run on second basemen pass you by or something, but I don't know if I'd like Kinsler that much to take him 11th overall. I'd probably try to nab one of the better starting pitchers and hope I can get Utley in the next wraparound.

Supreme Olajuwon

02-20-2009, 02:17 AM

RatedGSuperstar

02-20-2009, 08:12 AM

2B isn't that weak this year. Kinsler, Utley, Pedroia, Phillips, Roberts, Ramirez, Uggla, Figgins, Cano are all solid picks

Shortstop is the weak position this year. Grab Rollins if you can because the dropoff from Hanley-Reyes-Rollins is HUGE

Hardy isn't that bad of a guy to have as your SS, he's just a bit streaky with his HRs. He was actually better than Rollins last year pretty much across the board.

But I'm probably biased because I'm a Brewers fan. :lol:

YOUR Hero

02-21-2009, 10:01 AM

Dave, do you have room for CTS? My league is full.

YOUR Hero

02-28-2009, 01:11 PM

I missed the draft! :'( I had the first pick too! OMG.

Open to trades.

02-28-2009, 01:46 PM

funny how you had the first pick

YOUR Hero

02-28-2009, 02:05 PM

Dragon

02-28-2009, 04:25 PM

Missed the first 3 rounds of the draft.

Open for trades and stuff too. Could use an upgrade at third base.

DaveWadding

02-28-2009, 04:26 PM

Have 2 spots still open in my league. Dont draft for another month or so.

El Vaquero de Infierno

02-28-2009, 05:30 PM

I would probably like another strong starting pitcher, 1st or 2nd in rotation.
Need a better catcher.
And a better SS.

So hook me up with trades people, but no useless ones.

RatedGSuperstar

02-28-2009, 05:44 PM

I bailed on the draft when I had all my starters in place, but I'm still looking for a better third baseman. I could probably move an outfielder or starting pitcher for someone better than Edwin Encarnacion. Otherwise, I feel pretty good about my team.

El Vaquero de Infierno

02-28-2009, 05:55 PM

Ryan Zimmerman (3B) is up for grabs for a starting pitcher, if you would like to trade. Make me an offer.

Evil Vito

02-28-2009, 06:13 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I probably should get another OFer...I just couldn't pass up Loney when he was still there late.</font>

apparently people in Hero's league dont plan on managing there teams. I offered a trade like 4 days ago and nothing.

Guess i picked the wrong league.

El Vaquero de Infierno

03-05-2009, 01:50 PM

As Moonax is MIA, I'm looking to trade a starting pitcher for a good closer, preferably with saves of 29+.

Know that both Sabathia and Burnett are off limits, as is Ted Lilly once my trade goes though. But I'm willing to hear offers for my other starting pitchers.

or your trades suck,

Heros Welcome

03-05-2009, 02:26 PM

I don't see how the heck you could draft such a strong team. Are you playing in a small league How many particapants?

10 team league. Was the 10th pick.

03-05-2009, 06:11 PM

or your trades suck,

Its a really good offer.

YOUR Hero

03-05-2009, 10:13 PM

RP, what are you looking for? -I'm open to anything (ask your mom) so if you want to make me an offer... I'd like a top pitcher. That's my first wish. But any real offer, I'm open to consider.

03-06-2009, 08:50 AM

I was looking for Manny. And i offered (You Dont Mess With The ) Johan Santana and Xavier Nady for Manny.

Is that not a sweet deal?

03-06-2009, 08:56 AM

RP, what are you looking for? -I'm open to anything (ask your mom) so if you want to make me an offer... I'd like a top pitcher. That's my first wish. But any real offer, I'm open to consider.

I'm gunna assume you're the ROYALS

You dont have much . I'm only intrested in Quentin or Hanley. I'll offer something. Not sure what we could do.

YOUR Hero

03-06-2009, 10:14 AM

Your trade did suck.

Supreme Olajuwon

03-06-2009, 11:42 AM

yo I'm looking for an upgrade at 3rd and maybe OF. I never say anyone is off limits so let's talk. I've got SPs

El Vaquero de Infierno

03-06-2009, 12:05 PM

Hero, are willing to trade Kevin Gregg for a starting pitcher?

03-06-2009, 01:25 PM

Your trade did suck.

what? I'm giving you the best pitcher in the league. If you think i'd give better then you're nuts. Not for no Short Stop. I mean, i'll give Nady instead of Huff, but otherwise i dont have anything to offer you. Good luck.

Who is Team Fikalicious and Ghetto Blasters? Just wondering cause I know who everyone else is from here except those two.

03-07-2009, 07:18 AM

Your trade sucked

No it didnt. You're clearly overated a short stop. But i dont care. Go find another pitcher. Or have some balls and maybe make an offer. Otherwise, i'll move on.

YOUR Hero

03-07-2009, 12:25 PM

We'll see how overrated I am at SS.
Neat you think that, yet make a trade offer for him ;)

Supreme Olajuwon

03-07-2009, 12:32 PM

post the trade

let the people decide

03-07-2009, 01:14 PM

Johan Santana
Aubrey Huff
Ryan Theriot

for

Hanley Ramirez
Francisco Cordero

Ramirez and Huff's numbers are practically the same accept Huff has almost twice as many RBI's last year and 31 less steals. Not to mention Huff can be played and 1b and 3b. Theroit will give him 25+ Sb's this year and alot of bases.

HERO wont make a counter offer even though he claims that he really wants a top pitcher. Reason being is because he think's i'll offer the house to him for a short stop out of desperation. Which i wont. I'm moving on.

Supreme Olajuwon

03-07-2009, 01:41 PM

Hmm, well it definitely doesn't suck. I dunno, Hero, I think I've gotta agree with RP here. Especially considering you've got Sheffield as a Util guy right now

YOUR Hero

03-08-2009, 10:43 AM

Huff and Theriot are no better than some guys that are available as F/As. It's not just that I'm "over valuing" Hanley, it's that he wants a top closer in the mix that I'd have to give up.

YOUR Hero

03-08-2009, 10:44 AM

And Sheff is a wild card pick. He's a gamble. If he's good then it's a coup for me, if he's not, I can cut him loose.

03-08-2009, 03:02 PM

Show me one player whos a F/A in our league who's better then Huff.

El Vaquero de Infierno

03-08-2009, 06:59 PM

Hero tried to unload Sheffield on to me, but I weren't having it.

YOUR Hero

03-08-2009, 08:45 PM

Hero tried to unload Sheffield on to me, but I weren't having it.
You are the only person I had Sheff involved with in any trade affer.

Huff's numbers from last year do nnot reflect what he's done in his career. To look at his rating based off of last year is where the trouble lies. For Huff's sake, I hope he produces like that this and every year. But I lok athim a lot like Mora, who had one outstanding year and then was over rated in following years.

Yo Dragon, I know I said I liked that trade if it had 2 closers in it but I just can't pull the trigger on giving up Kemp. As much as I love Phillips I think Kemp has a much, much better season. Sorry.

<font color=goldenrod>2nd place in one TPWW league, not bad considering I had some key players on my team give me basically nothing *glares at Brandon Webb* I think Zack Greinke single-handedly saved my ass in that league.

Finished 3rd in the other TPWW league, had Halladay, Felix, and Verlander on that team but not much hitting to speak of other than Mauer. Delgado gave me one good month before hitting the DL and Guillen/DeRosa disappointed, and Soriano was a huge bust. I had Teixeira but traded him away before he got really hot for Pena and Zambrano...move wound up backfiring badly on me. Had I kept Teix I think I might have won. Ah well. At least I beat out the team I traded him to in the 3rd place game.</font>
