I participated a couple years ago, but I didn't really know the rules, then I just stopped working at it.

Word to your mother. I waffled on that shit last year, but not this year.

Im gonna make it a win

I've revived the roto league for anyone who wants to join.

Its fairly laid back and good to play if you've never played fantasy baseball before.

There's a part of me that would like to, but man I really disliked FBB when I played it in high school. Also kind of prefer the lack of time commitment when playing FFB.

At least I remember having to change my lineup a lot.

I've normally been in three leagues each year, but in the last couple years I've found myself not caring as much about one of the three so I think I'll just do two this year. I've been in Dave Wadding's league almost every year so I'll continue with that one (and maybe win it for once :mad:). Then run a league for money with my friends from home like I usually do every year.

Wow. Yahoo finally has made 1 win 1 loss an option for baseball leagues. I just changed the league I commission every year to this.

So sick of seasons with records like 100-45-23 or whatever.

Is Hero running his league this season?

<font color=goldenrod>Since most of these leagues tend to have the same people in them every year - would anybody be interested in trying out a Keeper League? Yahoo added it as a new feature apparently.

Adds a new dimension to the draft and such. You could draft Strasburg or somebody and eat a spot on your roster all year by stashing him on the DL and keeping him for 2012. Pretty sure keeper leagues also have a shitload of prospects who haven't made the bigs yet.

Pretty sure the standard number is 5 in terms of guys you're allowed to keep. Makes the next year's draft slightly less fun but still a ton of strategy.</font>

Wadding where to I sign up? Whats the ID and password?

I won't be signing up for any baseball leagues this year. I didn't contribute to the league much last season and I doubt I would this season either. So I'll move aside for somebody else.

Just make it a divisions league and we can have like a shitton of people in it.

I've done the auto send invites to those that played last year.

I do believe there is 2 open spots. PM me.

Since nobody from last year emailed me back,

we have 5 openings in my league.

ID: 16128
PW: baseball

we draft on Sunday the 20th.

There was a problem

* There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)

Who is who in that league, other than RoXer, Droford, and Wadding exactly? By team if possible...

Im kinda disapointed I wont be around for either draft on that sunday since Im working..ugh

How does one do an auction draft if not present exactly?

The Roto league is still open to people.

The draft time has been reset to Sunday 27th at 21.15 CET, 16.15 eastern, 13.15 pacific.

Sorry, this was as late in the day as Yahoo would give it to me.

I'll be late, hopefully I'll be able to catch the end of it.

Me
You
CNM - obvious team name
Supreme - RecSpec Express
Big Vito 22 - Buschy Beards
MVP - Already said
SlickDamo - Threat Level Midnite
Droford - obvious
RoXer - you know already
Skippord - Blackwatch Plaid
Dragon (likes Dragons) - Bleeding Pinstripes

Note to whoever else: I'm done waiting on Your Hero this year (guess he's dead). So there's one spot left open in my league.

big fan of my team name for that one

Pretty sure it won't allow us to draft if we're 1 team short.

I know. I can just create a bullshit team and hand it off to someone later if they want to play.

Someone has to be interested, even if they don't realize it.

14 hours. Still one short.

...how does this work?

You have $200. You have to draft a whole team of real players (9 batters, 8 pitchers, 5 bench players) with that amount of money.

That's just the draft process.

The game's innovation was that "owners" in a Rotisserie league would draft teams from the list of active Major League Baseball players and would follow their statistics "during the ongoing season" to compile their scores. In other words, rather than using statistics for seasons whose outcomes were already known, the owners would have to make similar predictions about players' playing time, health, and expected performance that real baseball managers must make.

If you are still short of a player then PM me.

I like it today. We'll see in June.

I've been occupied away from the computer ect for some time, and I have 4-5 spots still left in my Fantasy Baseball league. Anyone that is interested and plans to be active, let me know.

My computer drafted team is borderline pathetic but I might be able to do something with it...ugh

I couldn't make the draft today due to a last minute occurrence. Looks like I autodrafted some solid hitting, but my pitching is horrendous, so there may be a few trade offers coming peoples' ways.

Yahoo sexually assaulted my team when my internet crashed

Trying to figure out how I ended up with Billingsley with a #10 waiver priority but Im not going to complain at all.

Hamels, Hanson, Billingsley, Kuroda, Lilly, Jackson

I like my starting pitching now, though having 3/5ths of the Dodgers rotation without Kershaw seems like Im in for disappointment at some point.

damnit I had the 11th waiver priority

So, here's my keeper league team (auction-style draft)
Carlos Santana C
Derrek Lee 1B
Dustin Pedroia 2B
KEPT Ian Desmond SS
José Bautista 3B,OF
KEPT Bobby Abreu OF
KEPT Juan Pierre OF
Michael Cuddyer 1B,3B,OF
David Wright 3B
Howie Kendrick 1B,2B
Desmond Jennings OF
Mike Aviles 2B,SS
Asdrubal Cabrera SS
KEPT Roy Halladay SP
Shaun Marcum SP
Gio González SP
Ricky Romero SP
Jonathan Broxton RP
Joakim Soria RP
Fernando Rodney RP
Tim Hudson SP

Thoughts?

So...whats going on with Hero's league? Draft is tomorrow and theres only 7 people in the league.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah what the fuck. Turns out I'm gonna miss the draft anyway cause something came up. But a league with less than 10 teams doesn't feel worth it.</font>

6 hours to the Roto draft. Feel free to sign up.

No idea what is going on with Hero's league or what he is doing with it. :(

I tried giving you the commish, Moonax but it wouldn't let me. i don't have the schedule to do it at this time.

That's odd because Kirk was able to make me commish for the football league.

I've worked out why - my email needs to be 'visable'. I've changed the setting. Try it now.

The draft app isn't loading on either computer. The loading bar gets like 90% full and then stops. Un fucking real.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Phew. Finally got in.

Won't be able to make it next week. If anyone wants to take my place feel free, autodrafting in auction is death.</font>

Im having the same issue..wtf

I'm constantly getting disconnected and paying the price for it. :(
