the password is 'aaaa'

the draft is this sunday.
please don't sign up if you're going to just give up in the middle of the season.
i'm open to tweaking the scoring or whatever else, but there's not much time til the draft and it's mostly the same settings as last year's league.

i'm in.

first look at the rules, no need for 3 dl spots; i'm fine with 2.

is this a live draft? i'd like to join but cant do a live draft on sunday.

i am in. the league ID # is 245613 if people couldn't figure that out (it took me a few minutes). this will be the last year i kick all y'all asses, ok?

i bumped it down to 2 DL.

if we want to add in some other stats (1 pitching, 1 hitting), i'd do that, but i really don't like using 'holds' like we had last year. wouldn't mind TB and some other stat?

it is set up for a live draft, but even with a live draft you can do rankings and have it auto-draft for you. i would consider moving the draft but i went ahead and put it sunday because we don't have long to get the draft done and also i already have 2 other drafts on sunday.

anyway, feedback. and signups! come on.

we need more than three teams!

I jumped in once again - hope to improve on last year's second place finish.

ok, the New Expos are in!!!

prepare to die!

(disclaimer: i've never played fantasy baseball before, and really only know the Red Sox players, but i promise not to drop out during the season)

i'm in

im in….dont get home to 3 sunday, but Ill pre-rank or something, lol

i could move it to say 330 or something. i just need it to be before 430 personally. we have 7 now.. i'd like to hit 10 at least… so 3 more spots we should really fill. i think it's set to 12, so there's really 5 more spots..

draft doesnt matter to me on sunday, i cant do it at all on sunday. but i dont know what the hell i'm doing anyway, so i just pre-ranked a ton of dudes and figure yahoo'll probably do a better job than me anyway!

walkonby & bearman have a baseball fantasy.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

or original.

still only 7 teams. need 3+ more!

so ok

teams are set, but since i have never played this before, give me some knowledge.

so there's a limit on games each position can use? so if i play a catch every day, sooner or later, i'll use up all his spots? or is that each player can only play 162 games (which would be the max anyway)

and i dont really understand rotisserie or head to head or whatever. are we playing against another team each week? or what?

help me out so i dont just get my ass kicked too bad (though, unless the red sox and tigers have monster seasons, i will anyway!)

for the game limit, consider this. . .it's a 162 game season, but there are more than 162 days in the season. it's a matter of parsing out your starters. unless you have 3 catchers, that is one position that you are not likely to have problems with. frankly, don't really worry about game limit for the first few months of the season, just focus on starting your best players and making sure they are playing that day- many times have i rued the fact that i put someone in the starting line-up, only to find out they didn't start, and got 0 points out of the position for that day.

as for structure- everyday you make your line-up, and your standing is based on the stats put up by those players you started on that day. based on those numbers, you are ranked against the other teams stat-by-stat; so, since there are 9 teams in this league, if you are leading the league in runs, you'll get 9 points, but if you are last in runs, you'll get 1 point, and so forth for each stat category. person with most points at the end of the season wins.

hope that helps.

exactly what i needed, thanks.

i'm excited to play this year, but quite frankly, i dont know if i am ready to baseball!!! it next week???? snuck right up on me this year.

This is a lineup sure to put the fear of god in any opponent:

The Pirates have announced that Tony Armas and Tom Gorzelanny will fill out their starting rotation, which will also feature Zach Duke, Ian Snell and Paul Maholm. Duke will take the mound next Monday when the Pirates open the 2007 season in Cincinnati.
