Is up at Yahoo (seems a bit early this year)

[The Mackem]

Hi Moonax :wave:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah shit, ridiculously early this year. I try to never draft earlier than like 2 weeks before the season. So many spring injuries.</font>

[Moonax]

Hello Mackrem.

I suppose the advantage is that leagues can be set up and the draft date set for later. The biggest problem who are all in for it now, but who then piss off before the start of the season, miss the draft and then you have a dead team or two screwing up the league.

I am assuming Hero will be running the main H2H league this year.

There are a number of new things in the Yahoo leagues such as Acquisition budgets, Auction drafts, Head-to-Head One-Win and Head-to-Head Points league types. I don't know if people would be interested in something like a roto league, or a salary cap/budget league.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I've always wondered how I'd fare in a cap league.</font>

[Moonax]

I'd be happy to set up a 'different' league - ie cap, roto etc, assuming that there were enough people interested, and if people were to give some preferences.

[weather vane]

I'm in for the main league or whatever really.

[Dragon]

I look forward to defending my title in Hero's league.

But yeah, another type of league along with the normal ones could be interesting. Never done one besides H2H but I'd be interested in a different type along with the main one.

[DaveWadding]

I sent out emails to everyone who was in my league last year.

Busch
Supreme
Hero
Dragon
Spilchuk
CNM
MVP
Rick
Hanso

2 spots open. Holla if you wanna play.

[Moonax]

The advantage with a roto league is that it doesn't matter if you have odd numbers which is good. I'll set something up unless other people want satisfy their inner Bud Selig/Bettman fantasies and commish it.

[El Fangel]

I tried baseball last year, dont really watch it but understand how it works. I did decent I think for not knowing any players.

Anyways in short if you guys need one more manager to fill out the league let me know, I may not know much about baseball but I assure you the team wont be dead.

[MVP]

I'm playing in Wadding's league as usual, but I'm down to join one of the other ones too, especially a roto or cap league.

[Miotch]

I'm tempted, Wadding, but I don't know if I can really deal w/ another league this year.

[YOUR Hero]

Set up the league. couple of open spots to replace those that weren't active. I'm all for making chnages if others are up yo it. But the main thing was to set something up and then go from there...

[DaveWadding]

Hero, do you want me to whip that candy ass in two leagues? ;)

[Skippord]

I'd like to play but I always feel stupid when I play fantasy baseball

[Jeritron]

I'd like to be part of the TPWW league this season.

I miss the signup here every year. I've got the time on my hands to do extra leagues this year, so count me in.

[jerichoholicninja]

I'd be interested in any leagues if someone has openings. PM me.

Edit: Excellent 600th post.

[Moonax]

Does a Roto league with an auction draft appeal? It doesn't look like Yahoo has a salary cap facility.

In a Live Auction Draft, teams use an auction budget to bid on players. Teams take turns nominating players for auction and the team with the highest bid is awarded the player. Auctions continue until every team's roster is filled.

[Droford]

I want in..someone send me something..

[Moonax]

I've set up a salary cap roto league. I am happy to run it as a novices league for people who want to have some fun. Nothing too serious or hardcore - since a number of people say they want to play but aren't too sure. Kind of AAA fantasy baseball :) PM me if you want to play and I'll send you the login details. The only proviso is try to be active :)

[FakeLaser]

I would like back in if THAT WOULD BE AGREEABLE

If you remember I basically shat on everyone when I played

[Skippord]

Baseball Furries gonna dominate

[Droford]

Im gonna beat the pine tar out of everyone in both leagues.

[Moonax]

Just a heads up about the auction draft. For those who haven't done it before.

It is worth doing one of the mock drafts to get some practice.

In the draft you have a budget of $260 to spend on your roster.

In turn each person nominates a player, it can be any player they like - so if you want to nominate say Christian Guzman as the first player then fine, or if you want to nominate Albert Pujols, that is also fine. Once a player has been nominated 30 seconds of bidding starts. In the final 10 seconds the clock resets to 10 after every bid, once the clock runs down on the final bid the player is then sold to the team with the highest bid.

Your bids are limited by the fact that Yahoo will not allow you to go bust. So for example if you have a 20 man roster, and 260 dollars, the most you will be allowed to bid is $241 - ie so you have $19 to spend on the rest of your roster. So you need to manage your budget carefully and not spunk all your cash on one guy.

The draft seems to take a little bit longer than a normal draft, also, unlike in a traditional draft, you can't wander off and have a cup of tea in case someone nominates a player who you want for drafting.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm looking forward to trying that.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Okay...I just did an Auction Mock Draft. I strongly recommend everybody does mocks first to get used to the do's and don't do's of drafting...cause some of the people in this were retarded and clearly panicked. Pujols went off the board first at a lofty $45 (makes sense, figured that would set the tone)...then Hanley went next at the same price (I guess I can see that). Ryan Howard then soon went for like $50 from somebody who clearly didn't know what they were doing. A-Rod went for like $40 and then David Wright (who I love) got nominated and people panicked and Wright went for like $45...come on. Made Pujols and Hanley look like bargains.

Also, if you aren't going to make it to the draft........autopick can and will fuck you over royally and spend way more than it should on mediocre guys. This will allow the people actually drafting to sit back and get amazing bargains. Hope to see most of the people turn up for the draft, should be really fun.</font>

[Droford]

Just noticed that both leagues are drafting on the same day within a half an hour of each other, which probably isn't going to work..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'll play any and all leagues.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol holy fuck. I JUST got the e-mail with my mock draft results now. I ditched the draft after I had picked my first 9 or so players as everyone else was leaving so I didn't see the point in sticking around. I had quit it like 2 hours ago...so overall the draft was like 3 hours. Pretty crazy.

Fun though...I managed to put together a pretty damn good offense.</font>

[Moonax]

I can move the date of ours forward by a week if that makes it easier. Is everyone happy drafting 3 weeks before the start of the season? (14th March)

Big Vito - if you look on the main page for the league it predicts the draft will last 5 and half hours :o

[Skippord]

doing a mock draft now

[Droford]

In my experience with Auction drafts, I always sit back and let the big names go for the big bucks and then craft my roster when everyone else is sitting back pinching pennies.
I usually never spend money on pitching outside of a Top Tier Starter. Should be interesting.

[YOUR Hero]

Moonie, you old horse, link me up. I'd like to try a cap league.

[Moonax]

Sent. That is a bit odd because I used the 'send email invite' feature Yahoo has to various people. Did you not get it? Did anyone get the email invite thing?

[Skippord]

I'm 100% sure my teams will suck

[Evil Vito]

I can move the date of ours forward by a week if that makes it easier. Is everyone happy drafting 3 weeks before the start of the season? (14th March)

Big Vito - if you look on the main page for the league it predicts the draft will last 5 and half hours :o

<font color=goldenrod>I'm good to have it pushed back to any weekend day really, except for the 27th</font>

[Moonax]

I'll move it back a week. I am not sure if people want to be doing two drafts over a weekend - especially if they last up to 5 hours.

I've moved it back a week to the 14th March. Is that ok with everyone? Is the time ok? Not too late, not too early?

[El Fangel]

Its good for me, Ill sign up when I get home. Now a disclaimer, I am not as knowledgeable about baseball as I am with hockey. Though I will do my best.

[YOUR Hero]

Yeah I did a mock auction draft and it was lonnnng

[Dragon]

I know on the auction league homepage or whatever it says the budget is $100, but all the mock drafts are $260. Is that $100 just a default thing for now or is that what its gonna be set at?

[Moonax]

The $100 is your waiver budget.

Normally the waiver priority is whoever is first in line. In an auction league like this - you bid using your $100 for waiver wire players. So say for example a hot new player is called up and appears on waivers - to get him you have to bid for him. Whoever bids the most gets him. I don't know but I assume it is a blind auction (that is to say no one knows what other people have bid) so obviously you could bid $20 for a player and no one else could have bid for him and you could have got him for $1 so you have to manage your bids and not spunk your cash. But as I say, I am not entirely sure, it might be that we can see what other people have bid and can then try to out bid them.

The $100 waiver budget can be changed by the commish. So I can always change the budget if people feel $100 is too little.

[Dragon]

Ah, I see. Thats for after the draft. For some reason thought that was the initial amount to use for the draft itself.

[YOUR Hero]

I believe we should keep the $$ set at what Yahoo sets it. I did a mock draft (spent too much on some scrubs) but it is a fair amount.

Lookin forward to this auction draft with you bums

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm in the auction league. Sounds like a fun experiment. But who the fuck is Ozzie & the Straw? That was my team last year, you bastard.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Interesting choice with FPCT as a category. I like it. Kinda levels the playing field a bit. Also drives the value of OF and 1B with IF eligibility way up.

[MVP]

I'm in the auction league. Sounds like a fun experiment. But who the fuck is Ozzie & the Straw? That was my team last year, you bastard.

That's me, which is inspired by your team name. I even used it in an ESPN league last year

I thought you were Rec-Spec Express last year.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I wear many fantasy hats.

[DaveWadding]

fielding percentage :nono:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

All Cubs fans know defense is worthless. They've had 8 guys playing defense every game for 100 years and it hasn't won them a thing

[YOUR Hero]

If you drop a player in the auction league, do you get back the $$ you purchased him for? What about trades - does $$ exchange hands?

[DaveWadding]

All Cubs fans know defense is worthless. They've had 8 guys playing defense every game for 100 years and it hasn't won them a thing

Pardon me for channeling the Miz, but Fielding % is a shitty defensive metric.

[Moonax]

Life would be very boring if every league used the same settings, the same scoring categories and had the same teams every single year. This league is about trying different things - different set ups, different drafts, roto and different scoring, and giving new players a chance to play.

I am quite happy to listen to thoughts and opinions on different scoring cats.

On the subject of scoring cats - it has always struck me as odd that power pitchers are considered to be more valuable than finesse pitchers primarily because of the 'K' scoring cat - would people object if I added ground ball/fly ball outs - as a scoring cat? My argument is twofold - firstly - 27 outs are 27 outs - why should we reward one method over other methods? secondly - it gives the manager a bit more to think about in terms of managing his pitchers when drafting rather than just lining up 10 power pitchers and then drafting them.

Hero - in answer to your question - I don't think so. I think the draft money is separate from the waiver money. If you spunk $60 on a guy who blows out his arm on opening day then that money is lost. I don't think cash can be involved in trades - but it might.

One final thing - the number of games per position is limited to 162. So you have to be careful if you 'stream' say your 1B guys in the first few months because you could find yourself entering Sept with only 10 games left.

[YOUR Hero]

If you have 2 1B but always use one as a UTIL. does his stats go as a 1B or as the UTIL spot?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol doing another Mock, Pujols as the first guy nominated as usual...then one guy tried to type in 23 and accidentally typed in 230. So he lost all but $30 out of his budget on one guy and immediately left the draft upon realizing his team was fucked.</font> :lol:

[Moonax]

Hero - I think that the games is by slot not by player - so you have 162 1B games which can be filled by any number of players, and you have 162 Utl games which can be filled with any number of players.

I'd like to add maybe 1 or 2 more hitting cats - any suggestions or preferences? I'd like to avoid anything that makes any one type of hitter more valuable than another ie slugging but I am open to ideas.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Damn, I really wish that mock I did earlier was a real league. :( Because that guy fucked up badly with Pujols, it essentially became a 9-person draft.

Pitching staff had King Felix, Verlander, Peavy, Cain, and Webb as starters. Bailey, Jenks, Capps, Soriano as closers. Wright, Reyes, Miggy Cabrera, Morneau, Span, Adam Jones, Justin Upton, Pence, Polanco, and Miguel Montero as my starting lineup, with Beltran also stashed on the DL.</font>

[YOUR Hero]

total bases is a good catergory. While the sluggers get a lot of mileage out of it, the line drive hitters can really excel at it too.

[MVP]

Yeah I like TB too. I took first in a league that counted TB but did not count H, 2B, 3B, or HR, so it basically favored hitters that got on base and scored runs in any way possible.

Does Yahoo let you choose more sophisticated sabermetrics for categories like GPA or FIP?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If you're going to do TB then just do Slugging or OPS so you have the % instead of the aggregate. Always best to reward quality over quantity IMO.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

quality starts is a good one IMO

[DaveWadding]

Did you know that if a pitcher pitched the minimum requirements for a quality start (6 IP, 3 ER) every game, he would have an ERA of 4.50?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yes I did.

[Adder]

Did you know?

I did a mock draft but it was taking too long so I quit it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I hope you use a similar strategy for this league

[YOUR Hero]

tried amock last night but after a few rounds some dude bet his max on a scrub and logged out. Totally ruined the whole thing. After that 2-4 more people were pissed and logged out. What a joker that guy was. These drafts take along time and for him todo that.

*grr*

[DaveWadding]

Couple spots left in my league.

http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/register/joinprivateleague_league_select?.scrumb=

LID: 168347
PW: lolmets

[Moonax]

So the choice is between OPS, Slugging, and total bases as a hitting cat, and outs or strikeouts for pitching. Any preferences?

[El Fangel]

total bases and strikeouts for me, as it would make it simpler.

Also, $52 on your first pick is something that was very stupid to do.

[Skippord]

I did a mock draft and drafted Pujols and quit

ended up with like 5 1st basemen

[Moonax]

OPS and QS added, TB and IP taken out. 7 hitting and 7 pitching cats. The percentage cats seem better especially in a roto league where everything is worked out over the course of a season.

[YOUR Hero]

If you leave, yeah your BOT will draft useless players.

[Moonax]

The AI on the draft is seriously out of whack. While much of the bidding between human players tends to be by $5 increases at the most, the AI will make huge bids.

ie I nominate player X, someone else bids $5, the AI will then bid $45. So the AI might land you Pujols but it might also pay $40 for Christian Guzman.

[Jeritron]

Who is in Wadding's league?

[Droford]

I found out yesterday that my boss is making me work the next two saturdays, so I get to figure out the cpu draft..yay..

[DaveWadding]

Me
CNM
Vito
Hero
Supreme
Dragon
Spilchuk
Droford
MVP
NerF (I guess?)
and someone else...that you, Jerry?

[DaveWadding]

Still need one more person...

[Jeritron]

That's me, Jerry.

[Moonax]

I found out yesterday that my boss is making me work the next two saturdays, so I get to figure out the cpu draft..yay..

The draft for the roto league is set for next sunday not saturday. So hopefully you will be ok.

Just to let people know that if anyone else wants to join then they are more than welcome, just send me a PM and I'll send you the details.

[Nervous Ferret]

I'm here and queer alright

[Droford]

The draft for the roto league is set for next sunday not saturday. So hopefully you will be ok.

Neato, I could have sworn they were both saturdays but as it is they are both sundays.

[Triple Naitch]

K, I'm in Wadding.

[Dragon]

What do you do just rank your players before hand if you're gonna miss a draft? Probably gonna end up missing whoever's draft is on the 21st. Might be back towards the end of it.

[DaveWadding]

K, I'm in Wadding.

:love:

[Moonax]

Nerf - is that a statement of fact, or of interest in playing?

Just as a heads up the draft for the roto league is tomorrow. At 8pm GMT, 3pm East Coast, Noon Pacific.

There is still time to join if anyone is interested.

[Skippord]

I might not make the draft because Daylight Savings confuses me

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hope nobody misses the Auction draft. The CPU will fuck things up.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Did you move the time back an hour? Because now it says 4 PM EST. Not that it really matters, just checking.</font>

[Dragon]

I think its been 4PM for a couple weeks now.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

fuck 4 pm is a stupid time

probably will only be there for a couple minutes

oh well I'm pretty sure I'm gonna screw up majorly when I'm there since I have no idea how to do this

[YOUR Hero]

I think the time change thing muddled things. Because I was sure it was @ noon my time, but I now see it is 1pm

Oh well.....

[Moonax]

Hi,

I haven't changed the time. I think it might be taking into account the changes in DST in North America. I didn't take it into account when posting the times the other day. Sorry about that.

Supreme - why is 4pm on a sunday a bad time? - considering that we have to go from the pacific to Europe which is a 8/9 hour time difference I am not sure what time I could have chosen which would have satisfied everyone.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

no its fine I just have stuff to do and I had it figured out around a 3 PM start time

I'll still probably be there for the first hour and a half so hopefully I get a good core before the computer does its thing.

[Droford]

Im ready

[Dragon]

The auction draft was fun, even if it took 3 hours. More interesting than the regular draft type.

Anyway, for my team my offense is crazy and my pitching sucks. Have CC and a bunch of question marks.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That draft was fun. Not sure I'd ever do more than one of those a year due to the time-consuming nature of it, but definitely would be game for doing it again in 2011. If they have them for NFL I'd give that a try as well.

I like my team, starting Sizemore and Jones in OF and then can pick between Hamilton, Ibanez, and Ludwick for the 3rd OF and UTIL spots. Plus I'll stash Beltran on the DL. If he's back healthy and all my OFs play to potential I'll definitely be entertaining trade offers</font>

[YOUR Hero]

I can't see next year doing a traditional draft. Auction is far superior. Hope hockey uses that next season too.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It was so much better both in terms of entertainment and rewarding good drafting strategy instead of taking the best available.

[YOUR Hero]

yeah. You can have Pujols, Arod, Hanley all on your team if you really want. It's so different like you said than just taking the next best player availble. No more random who gets the top players by luck of yahoo draft position.

[YOUR Hero]

Jason Heyward. Was thinking of picking him up for $1 near the end. Can't believe I paid 7 for him. But overall I was really surprised how low so many guys went for. When I did a mock draft it was so different. Picking up BJ Upton for 10 seems like a steal. Crazy how that played out today.

[Dragon]

So how does the waiver wire work in an auction league again? Since we have a waiver budget, we bid on the free agents and then whoever has the highest bid gets that guy? So there's no waiver wire order?

[YOUR Hero]

yeah, that seems to be exactly how Moonax explained it awhile ago.

[YOUR Hero]

...don't think anyone know what your bid is, unlike the draft. So there's a bit of a mystery there.... but I could use some confirmation on that.

[El Fangel]

I did a mock prior, I paid $83 combined for Lincecum and Greinke.

Sorry again guys, DST really screwed that up for me but overall I am happy with my team.

[El Fangel]

...don't think anyone know what your bid is, unlike the draft. So there's a bit of a mystery there.... but I could use some confirmation on that.

That makes the most sense and seems the most interesting so I am guessing yes.

As with any waiver wire transaction you dont find out who gets him until the waiver date.

Also, Moonax is a cheapass.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Really surprised at what the computer was able to give me. Overbid for Weaver at $10, but got Mariano at a reasonable $12 and Josh Johnson for $17 which is about what I would've bid for him. Also Victorino for $1, holy shit.

[El Fangel]

Chipper Jones for $1
I think I may have overpaid a little for Ellsbury, but the guy is a thief like no other.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I was really tempted to bump up the offer on Victorino but I already had a ton of OF depth by that point and I was sick of collecting more NL East rivals</font> :o

[Skippord]

I have no idea if my team is going to be any good or terrible

because I drafted them probably terrible

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The computer drafted me two closers and no middle relievers. That has never happened to me in the history of auto draft.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wonder when MLB teams can officially start placing players on the disabled list. Can't pick up any free agents until Beltran is DL'ed so I can store him there.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hero, can you change draft settings for your league at this point? If so I elect a switch to Auction</font> :shifty:

[MVP]

Overall pretty happy with the auction draft. Got Haren for $25, Beckett for $15, Rollins for like $10, Broxton for $9 which was funny cause Hoffman went for $8 near the end. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. With Howard, Utley, AND Rollins though my offense isn't as diversified team-wise as I'd like. Good thing the Phillies have one of the best offenses in baseball.

[YOUR Hero]

Hero, can you change draft settings for your league at this point? If so I elect a switch to Auction :shifty:

Let me look into it.

YESSSSSSSSS

Done.

:awesome:

[YOUR Hero]

24 players and a $266 budget. (2 extra players, $6 extra)

also cut the bid time down from 30 seconds to 20 seconds

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wooooo</font>

[Dragon]

Yeah, 30 seconds for the bid time seemed a little much. People usually have a pretty good idea of who they're picking next anyway.

[YOUR Hero]

Nomination time couldn't make less. That's still 30sec. but the bidding is cut to 20. then after <10 whenever someone bids it goes back to 10sec.

[Dragon]

Ah, okay. Thats good too though, should save some time.

[El Fangel]

The nomination time is more needed as you get to about 17-18/22

[YOUR Hero]

I just realized I have 2 open spots left in my league. 10 teams is OK, but I'd like to have 12. anyone wanting in, let me know.

[Moonax]

I am glad people enjoyed the draft auction. Some interesting tactics - people trying to force up the price, people spending their cash early. I think the other major point is that in a 10-12 player league there is enough depth that you can pick up bargains later on without too much hassle.

Good fun and well worth doing. Much more interactive.

[Droford]

Im more than likely gonna miss the draft on sunday..pft

Everyone actually showed up (I was a little late due to a DST screwup) but it was nice to not see 6 people autopicking.

[Droford]

I asked off for a half a day tomorrow. Between Maryland, NASCAR and this had to do it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty content with my team in Wadding's league...a bit iffy with SP but if Zambrano and Hudson can go back to old form the staff could be nasty.

Shitload of power tho. A-Roid, Gonzo, and Dunn are all good for 35+ jacks apiece, Lee and Manny should get 25+, and Posada 20 or so.</font>

[Jeritron]

I slept through the draft. Not sure how I feel about my autopicked team at all

[Triple Naitch]

Really satisfied with my squad.

[DaveWadding]

Was the most hilarious thing to see the computer auto-draft for Hero in a completely anti-Hero way.

[Droford]

Ive got the best pitching staff (Halladay, Lincecum and Beckett!) and Im not to upset about my offense. Not too happy about using Adam Kennedy at 2nd for instance. But I do have 5 guys who had 20+ steals last year which will help a little.

[Skippord]

Damn I kept misreading the draft as being on Sunday

[RP]

too late for me to get in?

[Skippord]

I don't think so

[RP]

gimme some links to some tpww leagues pls

[Skippord]

I'll pm you the stuff about Hero's league

not really sure if it's full or what the deal is though

[YOUR Hero]

We need one more player. That or I have to dump one person. Who wants in, draft is tommorow.

[RP]

if i get dumped, i'll be sad

[YOUR Hero]

I'm glad you got on board, I just need one more person to sign up. I'd hate to dump you....

Anyone got a buddy that might want in?

[RP]

the dump me, i'm spening 200$ on Jason Heyward

[Droford]

I could do a 3rd league but Ive got to work tomorrow so no go

[YOUR Hero]

the dump me, i'm spening 200$ on Jason Heyward

I'm working on getting someone in, hang on!

[YOUR Hero]

I've added HRs to the pitchers and strikeouts to the batters. Dropped the innings pitched (but you still need 14 to qualify your stats) dropped OBP from the hitter. - trying to make it more friendly, not so power bat focused.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Goddamn it. The piss wank draft thing won't load up for me, even though my system tested fine. I blame Fangel.

[Skippord]

apparently yahoo broke for me during the draft and now I can't get back to it

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah wtf, got booted out with like 4 bench spots left to fill and now I can't even open up Yahoo sports as a website.

Ah well, don't really care who the computer gives me at this point.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Autodraft raped my remaining budget, but other than Matt Thornton for $6 it really didn't do badly. Kubel and Berkman might both wind up in my starting lineup the first week.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

My offense is obscenely good. Pitching not so much but still decent. Depth is going to be my major problem so hopefully injuries don't ravage my team.

[RP]

My team is.. oh wait, i dont have a team because YOUR Hero is a giant gay and booted me.

[YOUR Hero]

Sorry RP, IT WOULDN'T LET US DRAFT WITH AN ODD # OF TEAMS. I TRIED HARD LAST NIGHT TO GETG ONE MORE PERSON.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think my only regret was SP. I backed off of Santana, Johnson, and a few other guys cause I figured I'd save up some cash in case there were guys laying around at the end that I really liked. Definitely would have bid more if I had known I was gonna get disconnected and Autodraft was gonna blow my budget anyway.

Gotta hope for big years from Peavy, Cain, and Lackey...or hope my entire offense rakes so I can swing a deal.</font>

[YOUR Hero]

...and the trade offers begin.

Pretty tempting one to boot.

[RP]

Need trade opinion

Ryan Howard and Jar Jurrjens

for

Adam Lind and Ben Zobrist

[Droford]

whoevers getting lind and zobrist is getting raped and pillaged

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I have Lind, and nobody is having him. He's Mine! ALL MINE!!

[YOUR Hero]

Need trade opinion

Ryan Howard and Jar Jurrjens

for

Adam Lind and Ben Zobrist

Well it depends what the make-up of the rest of your team is. It could be argued either way depending on that...plus the league stats. But at 1st glance, I'd like to have the HRs and RBIs of Howard along with the ERA and WHIP of Jurrgens more

[Moonax]

Just as a heads up, Yahoo seem to have finally got round to putting players on the DL.

[YOUR Hero]

Some players. Dirty bugga's

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Moonax,

In your league (where there is a max of 162 starts per position this year), is there a place that keeps track of how many starts you've used per position? Can't seem to find it.</font>

[Dragon]

On your team's roster page it has it in the bottom left corner.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Thanks.</font>

[Moonax]

FA - who is your co-manager? I don't recognise the username.

[Jeritron]

My team is horrible

[Adder]

My team is horrible

Which league and what's your team name?

[Droford]

Both of my teams have awesome pitching but offenses that suck grapes.

H2H - Halladay, Lincecum, Sanchez and Beckett (who Im willing to part with actually)
Roto - Nolasco, Wainwright, Danks Penny and Kershaw plus Capps and Valverde

[MVP]

Been losing points like crazy in the roto league this week. Need my offense to pick it up.

<font color=goldenrod>lol @ all the people who name their team names after real teams. Laaaaaaame.</font>

[Triple Naitch]

In my fantasy league consisting of my old high school buddies we have a side pool for whoever comes up with the best team name, that includes their players. A couple years ago I won with Hip Hawpe Anonymous.

[MVP]

My favorite is probably "Honey Nut Ichiros"

haha my friend in another league I'm in has that name.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>"Victorious Secret" and "Upper Deckers" both appear in the same league as me.</font>

I wanted to share something with you guys, and see if I get any feedback on it. GBF and I have been doing a fantasy sports podcast and recently started a new run more centric on the one league we play in together (which does happen to be on Rajah). All in all I think they're pretty entertaining, and there may even be some useful information scattered around too. We're trying to do a show once a week, usually Wed or Thur night, and we love audience participation. Questions, call ins, emails, whatever.

Here's all 5 episodes of the run so far, with 5 recording last night.

Again, we'd love feedback.

In one league I am doing with friends, my team is awful when it comes to hitting. Pitching is a different story.

Liriano, Ubaldo Jimenez, Doug Fister, Jonathon Sanchez, Andy Pettitte, and Lester.
Relievers are K-Rod, Heath Bell, Marmol, Tyler Clippard,. Also waiting in the wings are Chapman

[Droford]

so speaking of pitching..In the Roto league here I have

SP: Zito/Wainwright/Nolasco/Danks/Wilson/Penny
RP: Valverde/Capps/Clippard/Ohman

I had Kershaw but I dropped him. About the only stat Im struggling with is K's, but they should pick up maybe.

Over in the H2H league... Im going with
SP Halladay/Lincecum/Zito/Penny/Hernandez/Sanchez
RP Soriano/Thorton/Rhodes/Simon/Meek

I just dumped Beckett for Hernandez today..
