Fantasy Baseball?
 

Anyone interested in a simple 5x5 league, either head to head or roto (or both, as I'm willing to do both)? Let me know, and I'll set it up through Yahoo!

Hitting Stats: AVG, R, HR, RBI, SB
Pitching Stats: W, S, K, ERA, WHIP

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'd join.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I played last year but was disappointed that we only had like 5 guys play. I'll still play this year, though. Let me know if you definitely want couple of other guys I know to play as well or if you want to keep it Warpath only.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I've never played fantasy baseball but I'd be willing to try, how much time do you need to put into it? Do you need to change your lineup every day?

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I've never played but I'm interested if you will welcome a n00b.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'm down for fantasy baseball except I dont have the time commitment (Unless its after 9pm) to draft my own teams. :(

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

As far as commitment, you have the option to change your lineup daily, but you can plan out about 5 or so days in advance (or as far out as Yahoo! projects your starting pitchers) and be squared away.

Any and all are welcome. I can reactivate the league from last year and go from there, being sure to change what needs to be changed.

League's set up (League ID: 111647, Password: skins)

12 teams for now (Can add if need be)

Online draft is currently set for Tuesday March 4th at 9pm.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'll definitely think about it, is there a live draft?

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Currently set for a live draft, but if we can't get enough people to do it, I'll set it to Autopick.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

You can keep it as Live and just let those of us who can't make it (I'm not sure yet) pre-rank our players. The Autodraft uses the Yahoo pre-rankings anyways, so it wouldn't hurt anyone if they can't change them or make the draft, but most of us could rank the players the way we want to or show up.

I'd prefer NOT to use Yahoo's rankings, which are usually pretty messed us, plus injured players would still be drafted if we all use Yahoo rankings...like Brad Lidge who hurt his knee this weekend.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Bump. There are currently 4 of us, and we'd like more...

If the draft time is an issue, it can be changed. The season starts the week of March 24th, so as long as we're set before then, I don't care when the draft is.

And if you haven't played before, it's not too hard. Think of it as Fantasy Football, but you have 162 games to worry about instead of 16, and you can go a day or 2 without a full lineup and still compete.

Here are the details again:

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Does anyone have a website that they get their player information from. I used to use Baseball Tangent and won my league the first year and got third the second year I played. Since then I have been terrible and it is due to not having a good cheat sheet.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Yahoo! actually has decent Fantasy information...

This look like a decent place to get info: [url=http://www.fantasybaseballhub.com/rankings_cheat_sheets.html]Fantasy Baseball Player Rankings & Cheat Sheets - Fantasy Baseball Hub 2008[/url]

I usually buy a Sporting News or Street & Smith type magazine, and use the web to fine tune picks.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'm in.

Used to be a huge FB player but have since focused only on Football.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I think we should push back the draft by another week or so cuz we only have 5 teams again. plus I've gotta work that night.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I was planning on moving it back. It may be hard to get a later draft time, so I'll see what I can do...

EDIT: Draft has been moved to Tuesday March 11 at 8:45pm.

kewl, thanks man.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Hey, can we invite people we know to play? A friend at work (Bears/Orioles fan) is looking for a league to join.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Absolutely. In fact, please do so...as long as they're commited for the whole season.

I'd like to see at least 10 teams in the mix, if not more. And if need be, I can move the draft back but would like it done by the end of next week.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I would like to play if there's still room let me know. Thanks

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Moving the draft back again?

If we go with 6 teams, just expand the rosters (a lot). :D

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

it's really strange that with as many members that we have here, that all we can get to sign up for a fantasy baseball league is 6 people.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I just registered. Is the draft still at 5:45 tomorrow?

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'm going to move the draft back one more time...I'd like to see at least 10 teams in the league. And yes, I find it hard to believe that on a site such as this, we are having such a tough time finding players for this league.

NEW DRAFT DATE: Tuesday March 18, 8:45pm. I promise this is the absolute, end all, be all draft date and time. It's not changing again, and if we have to go with 7, so be it.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I just can't make the time commitment, otherwise I'd definitely be in.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I love fantasy baseball, but I've already got two leagues that I pour my competitive juices into. Don't have room for a 3rd. That may be an issue others on this site face as well.

Sounds like fun though guys, enjoy!

PS Take Matt Kemp in the 6th or 7th, Shane Victorino in the 9th or 10th, and Akinori Iwamura in the late teens.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Up to 8 teams. :)

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

We have 9 now. One more (or 3) will really make it nice.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Draft is still on tonight. 8:45, right?

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Yep, draft tonight. Not going to change it again...

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I'm assuming it is Roto since we have an odd # of teams?

Bye weeks would REALLY suck.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

Yeah, I had originally set it up as Roto, not knowing how many teams would join. Since we have 9, it's definitely staying Roto. I don't think Yahoo! lets you draft with an odd number of teams anymore.

Re: Fantasy Baseball?
 

I had to pre-rank and aurodraft since I was working...

WOW. Best autodraft team EVER. :)

I'll take trade offers for Pujols. Maybe a SP in return. ;)
