I think Karry and Martha are out. Karry's gambling addiction sponsor won't let him and Martha thought "fantasy baseball" meant she got to have sex with Al Kaline.

That looks complete, but I do think someone might be missing. Oh well. It looks like SSM is represented(CT?). I expect teh SSM writers and contributors and bit players to dominate this thing.
I didn't sign up the first time around - mostly because half teh time teh board is down and I have a life. I'd love to be one of the cool kids if there's room on the bus.

since the thread was lost, i'll repost this suggestion.
since the list is 24(ish) people long, how about two leagues?
maybe one NL only and one AL only, or just two leagues...
i suppose it could be done with 24 teams in one league but we would probably want smaller rosters. who is the commish anyway?

That is not a bad idea
Dan. I am just not entirely sure how the idea would be implemented, if we would have to
have a Desipio Raffle for league assignments. Or maybe roll
dice or have a
rock-paper-scissors tournament.
I'm thieving JD's schtick where he thieves Dan's schtick. GUH.
Honestly though, I'm not speaking for everyone, but I assume most folks would want to stick to one league for now, just for the brotherhood/camraderie/competition aspect of it. If we split the leagues, then we would miss out on grand marqu(is)ee matchups such as ChuckDickens vs. Chuck, Andy vs. Andy Peck, Tonker vs. Oleg, and so forth. Maybe this is something we can explore in future years? For now, to establish the league's foundation, it might be best to consolodate all the morans into one big ol' moran-ass league.
We have enough for a roto league and a H2H league. Let's just do that.
For the record, my avatar-less ass doesn't give two shits whose ass I kick. So, if we split in two, like an ameba, whoever takes charge just do with my team as you please.
And, someone besides me try to convince Moran Mike D to play. He'll give you excuses, but don't take 'no' for an answer.
And what the hell happened to the spell-check. I'm posting like a special kind of idiot today.
So, we got Dan who wants an AL and NL league. Then we got me who wants just one big convoluted mess of a league. Then we gots Pexaroo who wants dueling roto/H2H leagues. This oughta be cookie-cutter simple to figure out, eh?

Oh, believe you me, I have grilled and plan on grilling that moran definitely a few times about this league. I think I said before in a now-deleted thread -- this is The League of Leagues we're talking about here!

We have enough for a roto league and a H2H league. Let's just do that.
Scared of the depth? That's not the SSM way. We fear nothing. It's gonna be H2H anyway, right? With this many people, that's the only way to keep it consistently interesting, I think. It's a keeper league and everything, but, if someone's in the bottom third of a roto league, then they'll probably just get their keepers and concentrate on the cubs world series run. The only discussion should be what categories to include.
Also, I don't think we could split 'em up into NL-only and AL-only, logistically speaking. What about when someone gets traded to other league? How would that affect the keeper situation for that team? It seems a little complicated. I think it should be all players for everyone and just divide the fantasy league into divisions. We can wait and see which provider has the best system for that when they open up.
Commissioner? I don't know. BC really wants to do it and he's got the time. His Commissioner Notes would be
legendaryepicvery long and boring. MikeC's a good commish. Dan's a good commish, but he cheated in his ESPN league last year. He'll deny it, but who ya gonna believe? BK can vouch with me on it. That's 2 against 1. SD starts up a lot these things and he
is very self-aware. Personally, I think the commissioner should be whoever takes the time to make up the league and get the settings right. I'm just guessin', but I bet that'll be SD. Or
ThrillhoCornfed.
Or BC.

Just as Oleg says, an excuse! I mean, come on, my man. If you can only concentrate on one league at a time, there would be no other league worthy of such concentration. This is The League of Leagues, only for The Men of Men, to crown The Champion of Champions. All other fantasy sports leagues, they ain't SNUFF compared to this.
I see your "no" answer, but like Oleg says, we don't have to take it. No, we ain't gonna take it! We're not going to take it, anymore.

I'd be glad to take up the mantle of commish but it would be irresponsible of me to do so until I get this move finalized (Feb 1st give or take a few days). Plus I would have to recommend Andy for the job first, and if he refused, I would have to receive his blessings for it. I think Andy would prefer to have me get jumpkicked in the teeth by a moose rather than run a league with the Desipio name. If he's down, then I'm down. I would like to tab JD as a co-
conspirator commish though cause he is the voice of the people.
As far as what JD says about the other stuff, I'm down with that too. Let's get this ball a rollin'!

If Andy won't let you use the Desipio name you can always run with the SSM title. We'd have to bring it before the board of course, but you'd just need a simple majority of the 12 of us and then you're golden.

I got a jorb too. I'm a managing editor for a black news magazine. Well, they're a newspaper right now but they don't know they're about to make a big change of direction. And they're not a black publication per se. Not yet.

Congrats, BC. Whatcha doin for the radio station?
Thanks. As far as what I'm doing, I will have an on-air shift every weekday. Weekend duties aren't completely clear yet, but I will have an on-air shift on one day of a weekend most weekends. When not on air, I will do some news and sports copy-writing, commercial production and voicework. I also will have to do a little news reporting, but they have agreed to let me get settled in to the other parts of the job before I have to start doing some of that.
Apex mentioned sports, unfortunately from what they have said there will be no sports for me (Except copy-writing for newscasts) for at least a month. They had cut back from three to two full-time sports people around the middle of last year. They told me two nights ago that if it seems I am working out after a month or so, I would get some sports work. They said that they have had a tough time covering some things they had previously always covered, so I am hopeful their desire to get those things covered again will have them assign me to some sports reporting, play-by-play or color analysis by early Spring. I actually thought of maybe negotiating to get some guaranteed sports role by a certain time, but I decided not to push it too much when we talked yesterday. We agreed on starting date and salary and most other things yesterday. I start Feb. 4.
What's the station (call letters, frequency, location, online streaming)? Will you take callers to your show?

We're gonna have to re-check some numbers, but I'd give it a solid maybe. I've lost track of the numbers. Know what I'm sayin'? I'd like to say "yes" and then just worry about it later. But, if you hate the Chinese and rich, white liberals as much as I do, then I know for a fact I can possibly get you in for sure.
If I added blacks, Jews and ultra-right conservatives, would that get me a top 5 pick?

You're going to have to add poor, disenfranchised whites FTW.
If I remember correctly, we were trying to determine how exactly a 24-team league would work. I know I had said that you could get away with every team having a 20-man roster. C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP and five bench players was my suggestion. 24 times 20 is 480 players, which would be stretching it a bit out of MLB's 750 rostered players but probably doable. Drop the Util and it is 460, drop one of the SP positions and it is 440.
I vote for fewer free agents. If I get a vote.
I still think we should also forego the bench. With that few decent free agents available anyway, I say screw the bench. Play everyone!

Here's the problem with that idea, especially if our league is a H2H league... If my team needs wins down the stretch to get in the playoffs and one of my main players is hurt for a few weeks, but would likely be back for the playoffs, this leaves me in a pickle. Do I let that player go to get even a little production from his position in order to try to get wins? Or do I leave his position empty and hope I can overcome it to get in the playoffs? I think having a five-man bench is pretty minimalist, but at the very least I think teams should have at least three bench spots just to account for circumstances like the one I just talked about. If someone can build a team where nobody from the team is hurt for at least three weeks through the whole season, I would be shocked because I have yet to see it even come close to happening.
Maybe three bench spots and two DL slots? I don't know...

You know what? You're right. I keep forgetting this is going to be one of those
ghey head-to-head leagues. In a roto league, my idea would make more sense.
I would like to see a near-unlimited DL bench with some strict rules about hoarding players on it.

Since you're proposing that every team have 157 active players, missing one player's production shouldn't be a big hit.

I was thinkin' C, first, second, third, short, LF, RF, CF, Ut, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P with 3 bench spots and 1 DL. I don't know how many---what's the word---players that would be, but I think that's how it should be. I'm danged near always right about this stuff, too.
Well, Apex might very well be right with his suggestion of limiting the starting pitchers to four. With four starting pitchers on 24 teams, that would be 96 starters. My thought is that all but maybe two of the 30 MLB teams have at least three good enough, in terms of fantasy anyhow, starting pitchers. 3 times 30 is 90. With some teams having more than three, that means having four starters is close enough to reality to draft efficiently. However, barring the inclusion of holds, I feel having two relievers would just be a disaster to deal with. I don't know how everyone else feels about including holds, I would lean toward being against including holds but I wouldn't be that upset if they were included. Holds are still kind of a gimmicky stat when it comes to fantasy, in my humble opinion.
I know that everyone hasn't chimed in, but I at least am feeling comfortable with the idea of one 24-team league with each team having a 20-man roster. We still need to work around the edges of how those rosters would look, but I think it is starting to get there.

You have to include holds or a huge segment of the best pitchers in MLB will be rendered useless. Every team has at least two holds guys and a closer. It's not difficult.
I like how the rosters are shaping up. The only sticking points that we all would have to agree on are:
--Using LF/CF/RF instead of OF/OF/OF (I prefer LF/CF/RF but I want your guys' approval)
--The # of SP vs. RP vs. P (I prefer 5 SP but that won't work with this league, I think 4 SP, 1 RP, 1 P would work)
--The # of bench spots (I prefer longer benches, but, again, that probably won't work with this league).
I personally like holds, and I do like using them in fantasy baseball, but I'm not sure if we can shoehorn them to fit with our league. If we are going 5x5, they would be on the outside looking in. If people aren't objected to adding OPS for hitters, then I could see H being added for pitchers. I want us to go with the majority opinion.

I think we should go 3 SP, 1 RP 2 P. Give a guy flexibility if he wants to go balls out for holds and saves since his starters are teh suck or stack his starters if he's lucky enough to scour the waiver wire for some good ones.

Apex, you genius! Great idea. We could go 4 SP/1 RP/1 P but 3/1/2 gives more flexibility and more strategy.
Simmer, I personally like OF/OF/OF over LF/CF/RF. We might need a vote.
Actually, I will volunteer a hopefully kind-of sort-of "Virginia Plan" for the league, and if anyone has suggestions or changes they like they can suggest them for a couple days and then we can put all the ideas up to votes. We can use the following as a template. My goodness I feel like James Madison now! Here goes:
24-team league, five keepers per team to be decided within one week of end of regular season.
No divisions, top eight teams make playoffs, regular season ends after games of Sept. 7 are completed. Playoffs start Sept. 8.
Rosters may look like the following:
C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, P, P (15 starters)
BN, BN, BN, BN, BN (5 bench)
DL, DL (2 DL positions that can only be filled by those currently on the DL, if this is allowed by the service we use for the league. If this isn't allowed by the service, this idea is no good)
Live draft, with draft order this year determined randomly.I have one other proposal for all of you to consider. I talked about this on the earlier thread but unfortunately that is now gone so I have to suggest it again:
If the Commissioner has the time and werewithal, I propose draft lottery for all future years, with maybe the worst 8 teams from the previous year getting a graduated number of chances (From worst record to best record) for the first pick in that next year's draft.

3/5 (Starters) Compromise'd
Well, of course Chuck. No trades for 20 years either!
Now how about a Missouri Compromise that outlaws BC north of the Mason-Dixon Moran-Dolan line?
ok,
here's my thoughts on this keeper league extravaganza.
24 teams, no matter how you look at it, is a big ass league. doesn't mean it can't work, but it's fucking big. Think about it, you could be in 18th place and be better than 5 other teams. Again, I suggest we consider breaking it up into two sister leagues. one could be nl only , the other al only. Or we could just have 2 mixed league but with different settings, because it may be hard to get 24 people to agree on the same format. for example one could be roto and the other H2H** one could be keeper, one non keeper. one could be 5x5 the other could have 7x7 with holds or saber metric stats.
IF it does end up that we have one league, I think the rosters absolutely have to be smaller. if 25 is the norm, we should make it 20 or 21 man rosters. less bench and pitching spots. only one dl slot. and 5 keepers would be too many, there'd be nobody good left in the draft. it'd have to be 2 or 3 keepers. the more I think about it... the league is just too fucking big.
if we split it up. here's how i would like to set it up if it were up to me.
traditional 5x5 categories. 25 man rosters
roto scoring. 5 keepers.(determined at the beginning of spring training) 12-16 teams in a league. (10-12 for NL or AL only, 12 or more for mixed)
I don't know if JD was trying to nominate me as a comish or if I'm just flattering myself, but if so I would consider it, but would prefer to just play, and maybe be a vice comissioner or special assistant to the commish.
**I personally don't like head to head leagues nearly as much. the playoffs are too much of an anticlimatic crap shoot, and there is too much randomness involved week to week. plus it rewards people for tinkering constantly with matchups more than those who draft well. it's more work intensive, and less rewarding. I could go off on a rant on why roto scoring is the superior format, but I know some people are always going to find it "funner" ( see 'cause, the people that prefer head to head fantasy baseball leagues are the kind of people who use words like funner). so i'll save my rant.
on a separate note, I've been wanting to organize a little league which is a pitchers only league, and it only counts pitcher's offensive stats. pitchers offense is so neglected in the fantasy world...but not in this leauge.
there would be like 5 teams, say 3 man rosters and the categories would be 5x0, (no pitching stats, just offense). think about the possibilities! you could win the league with a 180 average and 8 homeruns on the season. jason marquis could be the 3rd overall pick!
who's in?

No shit. The idea is to tinker with your team
constantly. You know? Actually
play fantasy baseball. Every. Day. For six months. That's what makes it cool.
You want to talk about a crap shoot? How about the draft? Injuries can turn half your team to a complete mess and you need to have a way to come back from that. It's a chess game. You make moves. Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar, why, eats yeew.
Have fun with your pitchers-only emo poetry league though, Dan. Let us know how it turns out. I know that you will.
simmer down apex. no need to make it personal.
just for that I'm not allowing you in my emo leauge.
and for the record, I like to obsess and tweak my fantasy team as much as anyone. I've played both formats, and there are advantages to both H2H and roto. But I like that roto scoring places more emphasis on the draft, and rewards the team that did the most over the course of the whole season. There's less emphasis on the playoffs and on playing matchups. But it's cool if you like to play H2H. ok...sheesh. this is now officially the dorkiest. argument. ever.
1. Why limit the number of DL slots? Who cares if you have 1, 2, 5 or unlimited? As long as the commish is strict with who can be on it (say, a 3-5 day grace period to move someone off the DL or they get dropped into the free agent pool), what difference does it make?
2. I always thought the way to make closers and middle relievers be more equal statistically is to eliminate saves, not add holds. I'm sure we can come up with something to replace saves that doesn't necessarily skew the stats towards starters more (because they pitch more innings). Perhaps upping the number of relievers you must have active? Maybe separating the reliever stats from the starter stats? I don't know.
3. I'm a proponent of using OBP over BA. We need to find a middle ground between counting stats and average stats. If there are 6 offensive stats, 3 average and 3 counting stats seems good.
4. It hasn't been brought up, but, I'm definitely against using any stats in which the lowest number wins, like losses.
5. I'm with Dan on the roto thing. The pitcher league? Good luck with that.
OK...what else?

2 DL spots are too many for a league this big. I say just 1. If you've got 2 people injured, then you're gonna have to waste a bench spot to keep one or drop him. And I don't know what service won't allow you to have DL spots. It sounds like a service I'm not interested in using. I think divisions would be cool, but I guess it depends on what we can do. I agree with Dan about 5 keepers being too many. I like 3. Also, I don't see why we need to freeze keepers until a week or two before the next draft. Then people can trade during the offseason. Me and MikeC do it in the TCR league and I've taken apart my team for better or worse the past two offseasons.

Agreed. That's much more simple -- and saves is a dumb stat anyway.
Quote3. I'm a proponent of using OBP over BA. We need to find a middle ground between counting stats and average stats.
Agreed.
Quote4. It hasn't been brought up, but, I'm definitely against using any stats in which the lowest number wins, like losses.
Agreed. Let Oleg be commish.

Oleg's irresponisble. There's no way he should be trusted with anything this important.
Quote from: Oleg on January 24, 2008, 07:50:48 AM
1. Why limit the number of DL slots? Who cares if you have 1, 2, 5 or unlimited? As long as the commish is strict with who can be on it (say, a 3-5 day grace period to move someone off the DL or they get dropped into the free agent pool), what difference does it make?
What you're proposing sounds like anarchy. I think we should make people make some potentially tough decisions. It also might make for more league transaction activity, which I like.
2. I always thought the way to make closers and middle relievers be more equal statistically is to eliminate saves, not add holds. I'm sure we can come up with something to replace saves that doesn't necessarily skew the stats towards starters more (because they pitch more innings). Perhaps upping the number of relievers you must have active? Maybe separating the reliever stats from the starter stats? I don't know.[/quote]
I'm alright with this. I'm sure we could figure something out. There are some smart people here. And I'm not afraid to put my half-penny in.
3. I'm a proponent of using OBP over BA. We need to find a middle ground between counting stats and average stats. If there are 6 offensive stats, 3 average and 3 counting stats seems good.[/quote]
A fantasy league without BA sounds strange and scary. I'd have to learn what OBP is and how it's judged.
4. It hasn't been brought up, but, I'm definitely against using any stats in which the lowest number wins, like losses.[/quote]
Yeah, I don't positive that, either.
5. I'm with Dan on the roto thing. The pitcher league? Good luck with that.[/quote]
I'd prefer H2H with a league this big. I'll go with whatever the masses want, though, and probably complain either way, depending on how my team is doing.

the word you're looking for is swarthy.
Swarthy.
I would have proposed divisions, but I didn't because I was in a Yahoo! H2H league a couple years back where we had either 14 or 16 teams split up into two divisions and the schedule somehow ended messed up. Some inter-division matchups were done twice, while others were only done once. I know it was a random decision by the computers, but when you are on the fuzzy end of that lollipop it isn't exactly a good feeling. That year, my brother ended up playing the three best teams in the other division six times, going 1-5. He lost out on the playoffs by one "win", while the team that got in over him by one "win" only played those three teams four times. The other guy's other two twice-matched up opponents were sixth and eighth in the other division respectively and he went 3-1 in those games, and that was effectively the difference.
If we can figure out a way to effectively schedule with divisions, I'm all for it.
As far as some of the other proposals go, I understand why people would like Roto BUT I have never seen a H2H league go almost completely dead. I have seen Roto leagues where all but one or two players aren't active by September. I have seen a few people quit H2H leagues but it was never more than, say, a fourth of the league. Even if you are 15th, you should be motivated to play late in the season because you can knock out teams from the playoffs or you just want to beat someone you may not necessarily like.
I don't have a problem with OBP, the only major stat I really have a problem with (And it isn't that big a problem) is holds.

I think I have to leave work early after trying to parse this sentence.
Wait...the fuzzy end of a what? Never mind, there's no time for that now.
This head to head gheyness thing...is this going to be one of those leagues where each category is its own 'game' in the standings, like this dumb NBA league I'm in? So, if we have 12 categories, one team can go 12-0 one week? Or, do we get points for whatever each player does? Like, a home run would be 4 points; a single is 1 point, etc. The guy with more points at the end of the week wins.
It seems to me like two leagues might be in order, for a couple of reasons. First, 24 is an unwieldy number of teams. Second, some people hate the head-to-head format.
One grand league for all of our fringe little world would be cool, but it seems too difficult to manage. And that's before we even try to schedule a live draft with 24 guys.
You dudes are fuckin' this up. You can't make the relievers anywhere near equal to the starters unless you count save AND holds. You'll make it so there's almost no reason to carry relievers in your two P spots. With the number of teams in this league, decent starters are going to be scarce. Again, fuck Marquis.
I'm sorta no longer giving a shit if I'm in this league or not. The whole idea's gone to pot.
Jesus fucking christ. What is this, the Platypus league?
Make it a 5x5 league and be done with it. Pick a service and a draft date.

We had a similar problem with one of my work leagues were everyone had opinions and so there was all the suggesting without any progress. We just declared on guy the commissioner and he just arbitrarily made the rules and if anyone didn't like them they could go to hell. It worked out pretty well even if in his lust for power he mandated everyone's team names.
I nominate JD as the Emperor of the fantasy baseball league. He can set all the rules and if anyone doesn't like them they can go join NSBB's league.

Not if the bed-whizzers continue to insist on keeping it locked up tight (http://hirejimessian.com/index.php/testimonials/) they can't.
I may have a lot of opinions, but, at the end of the day, I couldn't care less what the rules are, etc. I'm in. If JD wants to be emperor, or Pre, or, shit, even BC, I'm in.

Amen.
a 24 team league is too much of a cluster fuck. 2 sister leauges, 2 commishes, and 2 formats seems much more practical.
and I second the nomination of JD as comish.
another thought, just to make this more complicated.
I've heard many hardcore fantasy players say that the true manly way to draft is a live auction draft. is there anyway to do that in cyberspace?
This baseball league is an example of why democracy doesn't work. Or something.
This in no way means that I'm the commissioner, but let's figure out who's gonna be in what league. SSM's comin' with me. Unless some of them wanna go to the other one(roto) in which case they or him will dominate that league.

Just to clarify, that's an average of 16 players from each Major League team. That means it could break down like this, for every team:
8 positions players owned
5 starters
3 bullpen guys
That includes every team, even the Pirates, Orioles, etc. People would wind up drafting Edwin Jackson. Then they'd have to make five more picks after that.
Not to mention, that draft would take about 10 hours.

I prefer having one big gonzo league, but the feasibility of the idea is starting to wane. I'm still all for it, but like JD said, we're seeing how much of a convoluted mess democracy can be. If we need someone to take a hardline stance like Pre said, then its H2H 5x5 or bust, baby!

Since we're breaking up into 2 leagues, then I'd say 14 should be the max. Why? Because it's 2 more than 12 and 2 less than 16. I'm assuming that Oleg's "plenty of room'd" post means that he'd be willing to step aside if someone that's not in the roto league wants to get in this one. Once that's settled, then I guess we can start hammerin' out the settings and such.

Yeah, I wouldn't turn someone away if they want in and we have 14. As long as Apex doesn't leave and force a mass exit, then we should be ship-shape in no time.

I'm a wet bag now.
OK, here's what I set up.
A 20 team Head to head league. It's a 6x6--meaning I took a traditional 5x5 (ba, hr, rbi, sb, r/w, sv, era, whip, k) and added ops to the offense and holds to pitching.
The roster set up is:
Catcher - 1
1b - 1
2b - 1
3b - 1
ss - 1
ci - 1
mi - 1
lf- 1
cf- 1
rf- 1
of - 2
util - 1
sp - 3
rp - 1
p - 2
bench - 3
DL - 1
The draft is tentatively set for Sunday, March 16 at 12:30 p.m. I originally had it set for the last day they'd let us draft (the 23rd of March) and then realized that was Easter. So only Chuck would be there. (Oh, I kill me.)
Anyway, start complaining, because some of this can still be changed.
The league number is: 10258
The league name is: Desipio League Baseball
The password is moran.
Our league home page is: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, LF, CF, RF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, P, P, BN, BN, BN, DL
Speaking of fantasy. JD, can you send me that link that gives tips on organizing a league where you reward the guy who has the worst team?

Dolan,
I think that's WAY too many positions for a 20 team league. Cutout the MI, CI and OF stuff and go with one UTIL.

That's "wet back," a racial slur that might be used by a guy making Jose Jimenez impersonations.

Does anyone know how to change the point modifiers in a Yahoo league? It says you can do it, but I can't figure it out.

I disagree, since we're using both the AL and NL. We have 24 man rosters and 30 teams full of craptastic middle and corners to pick from. If you get stuck having to play
Josh John McDonald or Jose Uribe...well, hey, life is tough sometimes.
Is anyone setting up the Roto league?

I would imagine Theriot will be the Tom Brady of this league.

No way. It's perfect. I'm in a TCR league where there's 16 teams and the rosters are 26. You sayin' those guys are smarter than you? The only thing I'd change is there should just be 2 bench spots and 3 DL. In my opinion. So, I guess I don't think it's perfect. I came around to Oleg's way of thinkin' in that why have players on there that don't earn you point. HOWEVAH, I think the bench spots should be there because of the keeper league. That way people can stash potential keepers on the bench. And I don't think people should be penalized for their dudes gettin' hurt. To an extent. Maybe 2 DL spots. Whatever. But, it's pretty much what I was gonna set up. Even the stat categories are what I was gonna choose. Aces. And I don't even have to be the commish! Iron Eagle: Aces!

Fine. You two are in. But your're the LAST ones. In addition to the 14 others that put their names on the list. Unless some others wanna get in, too. Because Andy put a 20 team max. But NO MORE than THAT.
20s the most we can have, the league won't let us go any bigger, not that we'd want to.
I didn't wanna go bigger than 16, but you're Tony Danza.

Here's the Roto league: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio2 (http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio2)
League number is 31664
League name is Desipio 2
Password is morans.
The draft is set for Sunday, Feb. 24 at 9:00 AM (weekend draft slots are almost all full -- that is the last weekend with any open slots; weekday evenings appear to be completely full).
The limit is set at 16 teams, but can be adjusted.
Like the other league, I used the traditional 5x5 categories and added OPS and holds.
Roster limits are 2 C, 1 at each IF position plus CI and MI, 1 at each OF position plus 2 OFs (any), and Util. 9 Ps (any)
All of the above are open to negotiation, but I had to fill something in for now.
The draft time sucks, but the options are really limited.
All right, I changed the number of teams to 18 (and not because JD gave me an ALL CAPS ULTIMATUM) but because it looks like we got everybody signed up.
As a result, I also increase the pitching staff to eight. Three starters, two relievers, three of either.
Since it's a keeper league I kept the bench at three so morans like me can stash a rookie there all year and then not keep him anyway.

I don't think the Roto one has been created yet. If you're talking about head to head, then the info's in this thread.
If the Roto thing isn't going to be created, I'll happilly join this whale of a league. Sometimes, it's more about whom one beats than about which game is played. Or something.
Here's the Roto league: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio2 (http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio2)
League number is 31664
League name is Desipio 2
Password is morans.
The draft is set for Sunday, Feb. 24 at 9:00 AM (weekend draft slots are almost all full -- that is the last weekend with any open slots; weekday evenings appear to be completely full).
The limit is set at 16 teams, but can be adjusted.
Like the other league, I used the traditional 5x5 categories and added OPS and holds.
Roster limits are 2 C, 1 at each IF position plus CI and MI, 1 at each OF position plus 2 OFs (any), and Util. 9 Ps (any)
All of the above are open to negotiation, but I had to fill something in for now.
The draft time sucks, but the options are really limited.
I still say we drop saves and holds and a pitching category...maybe k/bb, that way, it's innings neutral, so middle relievers still matter and we aren't forced to use a convoluted stat like holds.
Just a suggestion.
Edit: Nevermind.
In as The Duck Chickens

I assume we would then drop a hitting category as well, right? Batting Average?
Week 15 vs. Andy
Week 17 vs. Apex
I can't wait, punks. I am not going to be like the Patriots and win every game except the big one(s).

Yeah, I guess. Although I like the idea of VORPDonkey not going in the 1st round, which he would invariably go if we kept OPS and dropped BA. I say, keep BA and drop OPS. Or drop 'em both and add OBP, perhaps. I dunno.
You could always drop SB, which are as useless as saves.
Wait a minute, I signed up on the list for the H2H league but it was full. Son of a bitch, I wanted to witness the week-after-week-after-week stomping machine that is BC.

How does the scoring work on this thing? I played football H2H this fall, but I can't imagine it goes quite the same way. Do you get 1 point for winning a category over your opponent? or does it just total all the categories left to right and whoever has the best "wins"?

Each category counts as a "game" on your W-L record.

There's at least one manager (Eli) who had previously pledged fealty to Shooter's Roto league (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=5516.msg116598#msg116598) (to Apex's great relief), and two more (Weebs and LDA) whose names didn't appear on the definitive list (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=5516.msg114676#msg114676) to begin with.
SD got left out, too, btw. So apparently Desipio League Baseball will never achieve the level of self-awareness it once promised to.
I guess that'll teach the guy to take 400-mile road trips into the abyss.

Well, I was on the original list before things went kaputt...so I figured that was good enough.
I didn't realize there was a "definitive list". If it's that big of a deal, I'll surrender my spot. Seriously, I'm in 3 other leagues...no big thing.
Man...no SD or ChuckD? Tough break. At least I'm in it.

Chuck, I left the league so you can have your spot back. You should be able to sign up now.
I can put the league back to 20 teams and EG, SD and Dickens can all be in it.
Do it, man, do it. Don't let JD make you his bitch!

So, have we made a decision on how exactly we are going to work out the keeper element of the individual leagues?
Quote from: BC on February 15, 2008, 08:42:20 PM

We'll probably decide on a number of keepers and then each team will choose that many players to keep for next year. Then, next year, those players that they decided to keep will be on their teams again and everyone will draft other players to fill out the rest of their rosters.
So to speak. I figured that you'd know how a keeper league worked, BC.
I'd say 4-5 keepers is a good number.

I knew all of that, JD. What I meant in my question was how exactly it is going to work. For example, in the H2H league, at the end of the season are we going to send you or Andy or somebody else a list of our keepers for next year? And then once it gets to draft time for next season whomever we sent the lists to will e-mail one big list to all the players?
We haven't even decided on a specific number, much less the details on how this is all going to work.

Oh, I did not know, BC. I did not know you knew all of that. I guess that we first need to decide on a good number. I don't see why we have to decide on next year's keepers until a couple weeks before the draft. Yahoo keeps the end of the year rosters. We could still allow trading so some people could try to improve their keeper situation. Or whatever. That's what I think, anyway. But, yeah, you should email your keepers to me no matter what we decide. I'll be in charge of your keepers and my keepers. I'll be on you like grease on your lunch, BC.
So? How many keepers are we gonna have in this league?
I need to know before the draft because I might wanna take Gabor Bako in the third round only Gabor Bako won't be Gabor Bako but will instead be Matt Wieters. Then I'll take Kei Igawa(really?) only it won't be Kei Igawa(who died and made him a viable fantasy pick?) but will instead be Yu Darvish. Then my fantasy dynasty battery will be set in 5 years when they're both in the US and good.
It all depends on numbers, people. It's a numbers game at this point.
I think 5 keepers is way too many for a league of this size. Five keepers could add up to as many as 90 players that would be off the board for next year.
For this league, I'd recommend 3 per team. That's just my suggestion.
And yes, deciding on the number would be a good thing to decide before this year's draft.

I wonder if we'll even have the same teams back next year. I mean this is quite a lot managers that have to commit long term to this thing. I'm not saying turnover would be bad. It would potentially dump 9-10 useful players back into the draft pool. I think we should just wait and see how this all plays out.
I second the recommendation of 3. The logistical nightmare of 5 (as far as reporting, remembering, redrafting) when no one is in the same room at the same time (like a "real" draft) just makes it harder than it needs to be on JD next year.
Just lookin' out for you brah.

Thanks. I don't want anything hard on me.
I'd be cool with four or five keepers.
I think that 4 would be good. Plus, like Apex, ya kinda figure there's gonna be at least a couple teams drop out or get kicked out for inactivity. Yeah, we won't tolerate less than a full committment to this here league. So if you don't think you can handle that, then you need to let us know right this minute. Because there are literally 2 other people that would kill to be in this H2H league.
4 sounds good to me

The draft went on as planned. I got a lot of first baseman and one closer. I also got a lot of toolsy outfielder types that probably won't do anything this year. I'm probably already playing for next year at this point.
And why didn't EG get in? I'm confused. Now, Apex should feel bad for runnin' him out of the H2H league.
And still no sign of Simmer.

There's an open spot now...won't be able to do the live draft, and auto picks suck, so the Van Buren Boys are out.

Don't forget the draft is Sunday at 12:30 p.m. CDT. Are we all set team-wise? We can't add one more, obviously, it'd have to be two. But SD is in, so I think we're set, right?
Ohhh ohh i want to play! Oh damn to late....
Let in EG and MikeC? What's 2 more? I expect definitely a few teams to drop out for next year anyway.
If EG and Mike C want to play, they can. Just let me know, I'll open it to 20. At this point, what's two more? But to avoid any byes we have to have both.
I've already got two leagues, which is about two more than I want. I think I'm going to have to pass. You all have a good time though.
I am down. If you cant get the 2nd person no problem either.

SD stands for Erwin Rommell?
I am going to own this league. Book it.
As a casual observer to this league I am rooting for two outcomes. One, BC dominates. His attempts at trash talk should be very entertaining. Two, BC finishes in dead last, so the trash talk will be even more entertaining.

I have a feeling beating BC in anything is about as satisfying as beating Peter Dinklage in basketball.

True, but that doesn't mean he can't be reminded how easy it was to beat him. And there is a chance that BC pulls it out too. About the same chance that Peter Dinklage is the next Mugsy Bogues, but there is a chance.

I'm figurin' that BC's gonna put loads more time into this league than anyone else. But will that help? Probably. He should be ashamed if he loses to me. I don't really know too much about baseball.
I'm hoping to derail BC's pain train before it leaves the station, so I did a bunch of laptop science to make some predraft rankings. I'm taking Heath Bell with my first pick, and I'm not looking back. It's science.

Science? Good luck with that, nerd. I hear BC is going to use intelligent design to draft his team. There's no way you can beat that. The word intelligent is right in the name.

A perfect, fitting start to the Desipio Draft.

Kermit explaining his pick of Chris Young, the Padre.

I had to be self-serving for a moment, just because so many of my picks got sniped, and this is the one that I actually got to make. I also have to note that I'm real surprised at how many Cubs I ended up with.

I must say I like my team. A little short on speed, maybe need one more power hitter, but still I give my draft a solid A-. I definitely think I will be more than competitive against the league. Good luck to all, you'll need it!

Intrepid Reader: Kenneth ParcellAnd I give cookie jars about a B.
I've never done a keeper league and was doing some reading. This is extremely premature, but what's the plan for keeping players? General consensus at the draft-day chatroom appeared to be four players; is that still the plan? And how will it play out in next year's draft? Do we lose the draft pick in the round where we originally selected the player, or do we just throw all nonkept players back in to the pot and redraft as normal?
The way I've done it in the past is that we all pick our four keepers about a week or so before next years draft, then we spend the first four rounds re-drafting our keepers, then the real fun begins with the first pick of the fifth round when everybody who is left is free game.
It's quite possible that I'm just a douchetard, and the answer is right in front of me. But will there be a playoff?

So, Yahoo's live StatTracker is neat and all, but after these first two weeks of the season they seem to expect you to pay for it.
Over at HJE today, though, SD mentioned a free Firefox script for the Yahoo leagues that serves to duplicate most of its functionality. I'm assuming he's talking about this one:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5143
This can fetch you live stat lines for all active players on any roster in the league.
It seems to do fit the bill for the Desipio League perfectly.
It's a bit less useful for the Neifi League, as it only details H/AB, R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, IP, W, L, S, K, ERA and WHIP.

The Greasemonkey script in question just gives you the live day-of stats of the roster you launched it from, including individual lines and team totals.
It doesn't give you live head-to-head comparison against your opponent, cumulative totals for the week, or an around-the-league scoreboard. I also now notice it also doesn't include holds, so scratch that "perfectly" from above.
For the time being, though, it's primarily the live stat lines that I'm interested in, personally. But I can see the appeal of the other stuff.

QuoteUtterly unacceptable performance from my team
by: bricrozier (BC Bombers) Apr 6 7:42pm
What a f***ing disgrace. My players have played like s*** this week. This is honestly the most upset I have been in months. My f***ing pitching has to step it up, it was a disaster most of the week. My offense was OK, I need some more power production however. I just am beyond d*** embarassed at how this team performed this week. I don't want to go Elia on them, but these pitchers better d*** stop pitching like s***. I am just p***ed off by this excuse of a fantasy baseball team.
"This is honestly the most upset I have been in months."I think this is what you get for putting so much stock in relief pitchers who had all but unrepeatable career seasons last year, and drafting nothing but SP and OF until the 8th round.
That said... It was only Week 1, Brian.

Costing me a Wandy Rodriguez win. Son of a b****. Go back to whatever d*** country you came from.
I'm going to go ahead and assume the censored words above were "feeding", "bacon" and "dago".
BC's just spotting us a few games to make this a fair race down the stretch. I'm sure that's all this is about...all part of the plan.

My team pwns. Fuck y'all.
Yeah, your team pwn'd mine to a 6-6 draw. Keep up the pwning.
Pwnd is what JD did to us in the Bracket Challenge.
Seriously, he did eveything but apply lipstick and force us all to squeal.

Once you've installed Greasemonkey
and installed the Yahoo Fantasy Stats script here (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5143), go to the "My Team" tab.
Where it normally (and only for the time being, I would assume) says "Launch StatTracker" it will instead say "Show Freebie Stats!"
Click that.
On second blush, and after spending a bit more time with StatTracker, I may well wind up ponying up the $10 for the genuine article myself. I'm not sure yet. We'll see how it plays out.

Seriously, if there's anything you want make me an offer. This roster will not stand, man.

I looked at our rosters and came to the conclusion that both of our teams suck. But I've got Granderson coming back eventually. That counts. I don't think either of us should rest today until we make a trade, Slaky.

For some reason the IT Wizards at my company have blocked Yahoo Fantasy, however CBS remains unblocked. Weird.
Anyway, when I get home we should start offerin' things up, Kriv Dog style.

I offered you something. Your team's real bad. Real, real bad. We should post our rosters and see what the rest of Desipio can come up with to help us both.

You can post mine right now if you want along with yours.
It's a nightmare. It's like I don't even want it.
But that will be the fun of this season. Trying to not finish in last and build some kind of respectable team.

I was gonna put 'em up, but I couldn't figure out to cut and paste 'em easily and make it look good. If some motivated Desipiot leaguer wants to, then they have my blessing, too. It'd be the fantasy baseball version of "let's make a deal."

I am being 100% honest, I did the first 5 rounds and then had to leave.
In case anyone's wondering, me and Slaky pulled one off. Then we made a trade to celebrate. Swordfights all around!
Anybody know who Team Douche is in the roto league is? I offered him a trade and he should hurry up and accept it.

I've been on the Conor Jackson express before, but I don't mind hating him just a little bit more as he continues not to live up to any of the expectations that were set for him.

Not pleased with his .939 OPS?
I have him in my rotisserie league, and had I known that Prince Fielder would turn into Neifi Perez...he'd be a Tom Emanski All-Star as well. I like Conor Jackson quite a bit. He's a relatively low strikeout guy, so he'll never hit for a terrible average.
I saw the trade you two pulled off, and also getting Nady in a league where you need depth makes you the winner, Slak. I like the trade you made.

Depth is what I need, friend. Skip Schumaker was on my roster. Goddamn it.
Anyway, I'm fine with Conor so far except I saw he's already shaking off being hit in the hand a couple times. I don't know...I'm just tempering expectations. The fantasy winds have been blowin' cold for me the last few seasons.

I can't remember exactly what I said in the first thread, but it was something like "You guys had better get your kicks in now, because when this league starts I am going to dominate week after week after week."
Are we having a MEP for BC's Bombers?
Chin up, kiddo, there's always 2009!
Is this really going to be a keeper league? I think I only want to keep a couple pitchers. The rest of my team smells of a homeless green undercock. Still I expect to be playoff bound somehow. Lot's of managers should seriously consider not playing next year. I say if you finish lower than 12th and your name isn't SD, you have to pay to play. And you have to pay me. Because I said.

The H2H playoffs have started! I won't be happy if I get put out by Dusty's Douchebags. The S.S. Magic has a course set for CHAMPION Island!
And I guess we're in the home stretch of the roto league. In case anyone was wondering, I'm still head and shoulders above Oleg's team.

QuoteStat Tracker Users-Class Action Lawsuit
If Stat Tracker is not up and running by the start of todays games I recommend that all of us that are ripped off by Yahoo organize a class and sue for return of the fees charged for Stat Tracker.
The contract with Yahoo is that we are paying for a service good through the end of the season. If we do not have Stat Tracker today Yahoo will have broken their contract with us.
Hopefully this will get Yahoo's attention and they will reactivate our accounts and a suit will not be necessary. If not I want my money back.
Please watch for further information.

I was( was) so proud, 2nd year and in the championships..I sent off a letter to Yahoofor everyone plus myself that has the stat tracker problem asking for our, my money back. This is a low down scamming dirty trick I did NOT expect from Yahoo as I've otherwise had NO problems with them at all.
respectfully,
CK ( pissed enough to throw rocks in glass houses!)
This guy watched all that baseball this year, and for what? For nothin'! (http://messages.fantasysports.yahoo.com/Fantasy_Sports/Baseball/threadview?m=tm&bn=fan-baseball-commcorner&tid=75073&mid=75185&tof=-1&rt=2&frt=2&off=51)
Quotetotal bullcrap ! I'm in for any class action ! Total disregard for customers ! I'll bet they only have capacity for F-Ball or B-Ball, but not both. I'll bet they new long ago that they would not service both users at the same time. Totally sucks, why did I watch all year !

Yeah, but he's on teh Jared diet now.
Figured I'd make my yearly post and say that Yahoo has opened fantasy baseball back up. We can start the league forming talks again just whenever.
I'd like to join
I swear to God, if I join one more fantasy league, Mrs. Tonk is going to divorce me. Hockee? Golf? It's all Apex's fault. I fully expect to see A.Peck cited as the third party when she files.
Statfags. All of you.
Yeah, I don't know if I want to be in that Keeper League. We never said who we were keeping anyway. It was 20 teams deep with 40 man rosters and some shit. Most managers never showed up. I finished fifth or something. Meh. Wampa can have my spot if he really really wants it pays works for it.
I say start a new league Apex. The keeper league didn't seem real well thought out and you were right about half the managers quiting or not even starting last year.

Start a new Roto league or start a new H2H league? Because I kicked a lot of booty in the Roto league even after I traded Tonks half my team for Hanley.
But, yeah, the h2h league annoyed me.
I'll start one up. I'll start one up that's elitist. I'm gonna check the "manager activity" on the last league to see who'll be invited. I'm pretty sure that I have a good shot at getting in, along with Pex and Speed. And some others. Time will tell, suckafoolz.
Geez, my dog won't stop puking tonight. Don't eat so fast, Ginger.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/2bpjth.png)
Sort of, but no. During the league, there would be a column showing when the manager last logged into the league.
And don't worry, Chuck. You're one of the elite. I couldn't invite some because of their hidden email. I think Tank/Thrill-ho might be in that boat. I didn't forget about you. Never forget.
Don't forget that I was also right about the roster sizes and lineups. I had Ryan Freel logging an assload of games for me because of his multiple position flexibility (no homo) and even had to DL him because he was too valuable in that abortion of a league configuration. And I finished fourth! That shit can't be allowed to happen. Think of it like the Holocaust. Never. Again.
EDIT: I just signed up. What the fucking hell is this CI, MI, INF HORSESHIT? God Damn? Do you fucking love Juan Uribe that much that you want to put him on your fantasy team? You made this shit up like you had Nick Punto's cock hanging out of your mouth? If I wanted to look at shitty players and their shitty fucking platoon stats I'd become a fucking Reds fan. Christ Jesus.

You've got 25 roster slots with 9 bench spots. Why have all of those bench spots doin not a thing. I kept the roster at 25, added an IF and an OF spot, one more UT and two more P slots. Or something. With my way, more guys are scoring for you and the roster stays the same. If we don't have 17 teams, then we should be good.

Because pitchers don't pitch every FUCKING day. That's why. Yet, you should have enough flex to get a full team on the field every day.
Don't you dare speak to me like that. You have NO RIGHT!
Ok. This will work. You guys, I shamed JD into fixing it sort of. So you can sign up now. It's safe. Guys?

How do you guys wanna handle the keepers? I'm not talking about the guys that are actually drafted. They'll be in that round the next year. I'm talking about the guys picked up off the waiver wire and guys added midseason. Tip suggested making them 13th rounders or some such number. Discuss. That's an order.

Unless they give bad head, I wouldn't go that far. You can always start up last year's shitty league again. There's an assload of absentee owners lurking around that would love to ignore it for you while you disappear for another six months.
I kid because I care. And because I want to have your kids.
Well I was going to add a disclaimer to my post, that I didn't want to put out the vibe that I thought I actually deserved a spot, cause I sure as shit don't. But if I get a spot, I'm taking the league. You mark it here and you mark it now.

Holy shit, it's been like three weeks since the ass-grazing, self-flagellating train wreck and you still don't KNOW if you're in a relationship? Did she leave town in the meantime?

The defending champion??
Just saw ESPN scroll their "Top 3 Fantasy SPs on the decline" across the bottom.
#3 Fausto Carmona, went from 19-8 3.06, to 8-7 5.44
#2 Aaron Harang, went from 16-6 3.73, to 6-17 4.78
#1 Carlos Zambrano, his win percentage improved over .100 points, and his ERA was 0.04 points lower! Oh, and he threw a no-hitter
This makes no fucking sense.

I don't understand the Carmona selection at all. He's only 25. I think with Harang and Z, they are speculating on potential arm issues. I still don't understand how that equates to "decline"...it's more of a matter of "risk".
This is the same network, however, that has an editorial section within Sportscenter called "Cold Hard Facts"....so...
Fucking PenFoe.

Okay, I totally did not realize this happened and I extend my sincerest apologies.
I logged on a couple times just to check progress and I saw that it was on auto-draft.
Which explains why I have four 1Bs.
I turned off auto-draft for 2 seconds to grab a second baseman when I realized that Yahoo was planning on waiting until the only one left was Aaron Miles.
I thought I turned it back on, must have missed that.
FWIW, I did see at least 3 of my picks go in like 10 seconds, however I hear this was not always the case.
I've been on the other side of this, so I know how much it sucks, PANK VERY SORRY.
Quote from: Three times a JD on February 19, 2008, 06:08:00 PM
So? How many keepers are we gonna have in this league?
I need to know before the draft because I might wanna take Gabor Bako in the third round only Gabor Bako won't be Gabor Bako but will instead be Matt Wieters. Then I'll take Kei Igawa(really?) only it won't be Kei Igawa(who died and made him a viable fantasy pick?) but will instead be Yu Darvish. Then my fantasy dynasty battery will be set in 5 years when they're both in the US and good.
It all depends on numbers, people. It's a numbers game at this point.
This guy had his eye on Matt Wieters long before Thrill did.
This is the most awesomest proposal in the history of Fantasy Sports:

I don't think you guys are funny. You shouldn't be laughing considering I just won the whole fucking thing last night. I mean, that is, if I can somehow manage to defeat BC's invincible squadron.

Congrats to RV...
Hey... Look who inadvertently won the consolation bracket.
Who knew?
My team sucked testicles. A shitty title defense to be certain.
At least you guys had a season, it seems like the fantasy hockee season is locked out.
My team was too slow, weak, and unmotivated to even reach last season's meager peak of making the playoffs. An 11th place finish should be enough to fire myself. I blame Roy Oswalt.
I win. Pen fails.
The league is open. I'm on top of it. Of course. Get in quick. You guys know who you are. If you were in it last year, then the invite's been sent. If you don't get in pretty soon, then we'll get someone to take over your team. Believe it. There are literally 2 people wanting in on this thing. That's just a guess. There might be less. But do it quickly or I'll bust up this league like a high school kegger.
Have we settled on the keepers issue yet?
Quote from: Dr. Nguyen Van Falk on February 09, 2010, 09:09:41 PM
Have we settled on the keepers issue yet?
I thought we were having them. You talking aboot the number?
In
We should also decide where we want the keepers drafted. I can assign them to rounds, so it's not big deal. I'd be down with going off of last year's round-drafted. Or something like that. Lemme know. Don't just keep quiet and the gripe about it once it's too late to do anything. I expect that from some people, but not from everyone. We can also adjust any settings or crap that people didn't like from last year.
I like the idea of the round your keeper was drafted in last year plus two. So, if the player you are keeping was taken in the sixth round last season, he will be your fourth round pick in the 2010 draft. (This also forces the entire first two rounds of picks from 2009 back into the 2010 draft.) My team was so bad last season that I doubt there was anyone worth keeping, but the rest of you should be able to return four players that you drafted. Free agents singed during the season go back in the pool. Just my two cents worth. I'll now be quiet until draft day.
I'm out. Someone can have my spot and any keepers I might have claimed.

This.
is.
dumb.
Who would keep a 3rd rounder if you'd lose your first round pick? You should lose your round that you drafted him in last year. If you choose to keep him again next year, then you lose your draft pick for the round before that. For instance, if you drafted Nelson Cruz in the 17th round and keep him this year, you lose your 17th round pick. If you keep him again next year, you lose your 16th rounder. and so on.
The two round bump is the point... it forces you to think hard about the value of player versus what you give up in position. If we are allowing everyone to keep their top players at no real cost to them, why would anyone throw back one of their top round picks from last season unless the guy's arm fell off? We use this rule in other leagues and it rewards the mid to low round steals while keeping the All Stars from setting up permanent residence on a roster.
Either way, I was throwing it out there for discussion.

Maybe they underperformed their high draft spot.

I like Big Drinky's keeper suggestion; I've used pretty much the same rule in other leagues. It kind of sucks that whoever lucked into the number one pick gets Grandpujols for two years.

I've never done a keeper league, so whatever the opposite of Tdumbs wants is fine with me.
What's the standard number of keepers? Three?
What if we used Big Drinky's suggestion and put NO CAP on keepers? What then?
What hai if you want to keep a guy who was undrafted at the beginning of the season? Where's he slotted?
13th round
Would this mean you can only have one undrafted keeper?
Or that, if you keep two, they would be 12th and 13th?
How shitty is your little faggy league where one team was able to pick up two awesome 13th round quality players in free agency?
Here's last year's 13th round...
1. Brad Hawpe
2. Brian Fuentes
3. Mike Aviles
4. Ryan Dempster
5. Ryan Theriot
6. Orlando Hudson
7. Justin Verlander
8. Derek Lowe
9. Xavier Nady
10. Pablo Sandoval Escobar
11. Carlos Guillén
12. Kevin Slowey
Maude'd.

So, we're talking about one team picking up free agents who are as good as Verlander or Hawpe? Abnd, more than one? I'll go ahead and stand by my ridiculous assessment.

I didn't play, but if it isn't a league where you draft and have space for minor league players, there's always
going to be a few situations where you picked up some rookie that you would happily keep for a 13th round
slot.

This is true. I like the Cubs. I haven't had a Cardinal or Astro on any of my teams since 2005 when I traded for Clemens in August and then didn't keep him. I'd rather root for the Cubs and lose than have players on my team I can't stand. So I'm quitting fantasy. Fuck it.

going to be a few situations where you picked up some rookie that you would happily keep for a 13th round
slot.
Or maybe it's a normal league that just didn't see anyone prescient enough to draft guys like Aaron Hill, Ben Zobrist or Kendry Morales.
Or maybe someone snagged a great mid-season call-up. Wieters and Hanson were both drafted straight-up, but there were still a few undrafted 2009 rookie standouts who project to be taken in the higher rounds this year. Say, an Andrew McCutchen or an Andrew Bailey.

I've never had a Card on my team. I sucked in this league last year, but I usually don't.

What the crap are you even talking about, Lil' Hendry? You can't draft. You can't manage your team. You can't hang with the big guys. The Talent scoffs at you.

I tip my cap to Thrill who played a solid game, and extend a middle finger to the rest in a symbolic gesture of a war volley. Pre-emptive strike MF'ers!
Can we make trades in the off-season?

I don't think you'll be able to make them in the actual Yahoo league, since it will deactivate, but I certainly support extending trades to the off-season.

It's effin' bull crap is how. I blame my players.
I'm down with off-season trading, but I don't know if anyone else is. I propose a hold on all trades until New Year's Day. Then, go crazy.

At least I'm targeting females
How can you say that with a straight face while TDubbs' dong hangs out of your mouth?
Fantasy Baseball Limp-wristed Slapfight playoffs are underway...can we please focus?

So, wait. How is it me and JD are on the outside looking in? But no matter, come next year...
I tip my cap to Thrill who played a solid game, and extend a middle finger to the rest in a symbolic gesture of a war volley. Pre-emptive strike MF'ers!
Can we make trades in the off-season?
I'm all over the 7th place trophy like a 14 year old girl.
amiright?'d
Eh, by the time, they're 14 they have breasts, and vag hair. bleh
You know this......how?

Yeah, but then we still wouldn't have a victor until Sunday.

RV and I tied the 7th place game. They gave it to him. I don't accept whatever tiebreaker they had.

The playoff tiebreaker is regular season head-to-head record followed by playoff seeding.
So RV wins by virtue of destroying you 11-1 in the regular season.
I know: bullshit, right? And
totally unrealistic.

I haven't even checked that league since the regular season ended. Which means you suck hard, Yeti.
