DBR Fantasy Baseball???

[DukieBoy]

I saw that there was a Fantasy Nascar league, so I was wondering if anyone was leading up a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league????

If not, I would lead one up, but I didn't want there to be numerous leagues.

[YmoBeThere]

I'm in 3 1/2 others...but could be dragged into another.

[TillyGalore]

Me too, me too. I'm in. :D

[pfrduke]

Ted Williams' Head will happily defend his title from last year. After spending the winter in cryostasis, he's ready to return and dominate once again. Word.

[DukieBoy]

Well seems like there is enough interest, so I created a league.

League Name: DBR Baseball 2009
Password: 919201
League ID: 154627
URL: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/dbrbaseball (not sure if you can join the league through this but worth a shot)

The draft time is tentatively set for Mar. 13 at 10 pm/eastern time. Any problems or questions, just P.M. me.

[YmoBeThere]

We need the League ID number....

[riverside6]

Thanks Dukieboy, I'm in again this year. Looking forward to it!

[pamtar]

The Pamlico Packers are ready for action. We want revenge on Ted and his frozen head.

[pamtar]

Looks like only three teams have signed up. Do we need to recruit teams from last year? Are the Earlington ToeJams available?

League ID number? Or am I missing something?

[YmoBeThere]

Yes, I missed his edit of his post with the League ID number. Duh!

[YmoBeThere]

I hope to make up for my poor performance in the playoffs this year after leading during the regular season.

[DukieBoy]

keep recruiting people. only have five teams as of now, which isn't really enough to do a league with.

[Deslok]

If I can make the draft I'll join, but not sure of my schedule for that weekend yet, I may be away.

I signed up. Woo hoo!!!

Deslok, I think you can set up for your team to draft players even though you won't be able to do it live. Ymo did that last year.

The poster formerly known as EarlJam will be participating. Well, that was what he told me via email a few minutes ago.

I normally play with another group of DBR/Duke folks (Won last year for the first time!), may as well add a league.

Though I am a little partial to Roto leagues :(

Roto? That's so like 1996...oh wait, I am in a couple of roto leagues. Nevermind!:D

Ok, big problem. Duke plays at 9:30 on Friday night, draft is scheduled for 10. I propose we move the draft to Monday or Tuesday of next week at the same time.

Thoughts?

Works for me.

[pamtar]

The following Monday or Tuesday work for me.

Although, I'm sure I could draft, watch the game, and snrub all at the same time. That's just how I roll...:cool:

[pfrduke]

I'm fine with moving, but would prefer Tuesday. Also, we're going to be needing some more folks to sign up...

[YmoBeThere]

I'm okay with Friday...I can multi-task.

[Deslok]

I'm okay with Friday...I can multi-task.

Or how about just moving the draft up so it starts at 9, an hour before game time?

[riverside6]

I'll do whatever, I just noticed the conflict. I can automate my picks if needed.

Nice catch. Sounds like Tuesday works for most people, so I will just move it to Tuesday at the 11 because 10 PM wasn't available for some reason. Any problems voice them here or PM me. Keep recruiting people too.

[YmoBeThere]

Just curious about the scoring system. With it being Head to Head, seems different to include Cycle, Shutouts and Perfect games.

[DukieBoy]

I'm pretty sure I used the default scoring. Will go back and check. Might have changed something without realizing it.

[YmoBeThere]

I misread it...but it does include No Hitters and Complete Games.

[YmoBeThere]

Also, I would consider increasing the Minimum Innings Pitched. Otherwise, well there are certain strategies that would take advantage of only 7 innings pitched each week.

[YmoBeThere]

Here is what we used last year...

R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

[TillyGalore]

I'm thinking of leaving the league as I just don't have time to prepare for the draft. Any thoughts or ideas on how/why I should/can stay? I'm sooooo lost.

Because without the Naught Nine it just wouldn't be the same! I didn't prepare last year. I just knew I wanted to get Santana and Griffey Jr.

Did you let Yahoo draft for you? There is no way I'll be up at 11 p.m. (DukeBoy, I know that was the best you could do, no biggie) to draft, thus will need to set up those I want to draft beforehand. I haven't done any research and feel a little exposed not doing any research. Course I researched last year and ended up giving away Dan Uggla.

[riverside6]

Tilly, just let Yahoo do it. I'll probably do the same thing.

[TillyGalore]

Turns out I'm not leaving. Thank you to pamtar for PM'ing some info/help to me. I'm all set for the draft having made my picks.

Good luck to everyone. Should be a fun year. More key players available to all of us. :D

[YmoBeThere]

I let Yahoo! do it for me last year...this year I'll probably makes some changes once they post the draft order and then off to bed.

[YmoBeThere]

Anyone else going to be there?

[DukieBoy]

I will, but I have a feeling it's going to be a lonely draft.

[YmoBeThere]

Well, you won't be entirely by yourself...

[riverside6]

Well, I was quite happy with my draft. What did others think of their teams?

[pamtar]

Well, my dumbass forgot about the draft. I went over to yahoo this morning only to find the dirtiest team in the whole league! Hamilton, Upton, Guerrero, Chipper! Plus, my best pitcher from last year, besides Johan, John Lester! Thanks yahoo for probably pissing some people off by drafting great players for me.

Anyone interested in trades let me know, I'll be pretty open for a while...

[YmoBeThere]

I went speculative on my team with lots of young players...hoping it pays off.

[DukieBoy]

I'm pumped with my team.

Manny
A-Rod (got in sixth round)
Jeter
Ichiro
Fielder
Johan
Brandon Webb
Brad Lidge

Lots of moves later, yes it did.

[dukebluelemur]

Season reminded me why I dont like head to head... lead the whole regular season, then lost in the second round of playoffs by a single start/bench decision. Le sigh.
