2005 Fantasy Baseball

Everyone ready to pay attention for a month and then let yourt team fall apart again? Come on, let's start the arguements over who will be selecting Pat Burrell!

I will set up a league on yahoo, it will be standard scoring I guess. And I will do max-teams they allow. I will post the details here. We will vote on a live draft or an auto draft. And there will be no arguing about it if you can not be on your computer for the draft if it is live (even if you voted for a live draft).

If you want in, send me an IM, and i will reply with the yahoo league number and password, when i set it up. After i reply with the name/password to everyone, the next day i will post it here publicly. 1 day after that. I lock it down.

if you get shut out (this is first come first serve), because you are too slow to join...too bad. shtein or get off the pot, you know.

I will set a random draft order the morning of the draft. and there will be no arguing over it.

here's a new kicker for 2005. and this is important!

1. If you are inactive in the league for more than 14 consecutive days(unless you notify the league beforehand), I will drop your highest rated player into the free agent pool, and put someone who is injured on your roster into a starting postion (if yahoo allows). again, no arguing.

2. if you intend to start dropping players for no reason. you are a Hoyda, so dont sign up.

3. if one of our Patriot lurkers tries to sign up, fine, but you must have 3 yankees on your team and one in the starting lineup at all times.

otherwise... IM me now if you are in. (the ones who posted yes in the old thread are IN no matter what (in case they miss this message, or since75 tries to take up everything).

what a great day for a ballgame...let's play two!

I vote for me. Your rules suck.

NGM · February 24, 2005, 10:32:57 AM

I like those rules, it will keep good players from going to waste. I vote for a live draft.

ok...open public registration...

link: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1

league id # 111201
password ilovehoying

the live draft is on the ides of march. (3/15)

this is a head to head league. it's a little different, and gives more people a chance to win it, if you have a terrible april and may, hope is not lost. (like it is in a normal roto league). you can edit rosters daily (unlike last season). the rest of the rules and scoring is there in the league itself, so there is no point in putting them here too.

8 slots left, come on and fill em up.

I'm not sure if I can be active while I work at Narita Airport.

well this could be considered as "notifying" the league before hand. as long as everyone is aware you may or may not be able to access it. it's not a problem.

i just want to avoid dead teams/players that no one knows anything about.

2 weeks until the draft and there are still 6 open spaces.

Wingspan · March 03, 2005, 11:43:00 AM

ok...so someone dropped out of this...

7 spots left.

if they arent full (at least 10 teams) by the morning of the 15, the league will go the way of the USFL....

Geowhizzer · March 10, 2005, 09:06:05 PM

Is this going to happen?

Wingspan · March 11, 2005, 10:50:41 AM

no one seems to be that interested in it.

I've lived in New England for the past 8 months... so fantasy baseball just barely wins the boring contest.
