Well, now that the NFL season has officialy ended for us perhaps we should look forward to the prospect of a successful season of baseball in Philly and perhaps some Fantasy BB here. A few questions:
Has CCF ever done a fantasy baseball league?
Would the Gods, oops, I mean Mods oppose to a CCF Fantasy BB league?
Would other CCF members be interested in playing?
I've never played fantasy baseball before, but what the hell, it'll give me something to do. I know it's still a little early for baseball, but spring training opens up in a few short weeks so I figured I'd get the ball rolling on this.
Any takers?
I'll join if the draft system is automatic.
As long as it's CF sanctioned, I'll play (win).
count me in ;D
of course its not football so no CF champion can be put on the list. :=)
I will get in. I did a league on Yahoo last year for the first time and it was pretty cool. Actually had me watching baseball hi-lites. :puke
Yahoo is still free i believe and they have automated drafts.
Since there seems to be some interest here, how exactly does Fantasy BB work? Do you set your lineups on a weekly basis, daily, every couple days? Never played before so I just don't know, but I'm willing to give it a shot. :)

With baseball you need to change your lineup almost daily. If that's not possible, you should try to look at it at least on Sunday and Wednesday as a lot of teams get Monday and Thursday off. The good thing about Yahoo, though, is you can set your roster for each day a week in advance.
Since this isn't :CF authorized, I don't want to play. I need more titles under my name!
Thanks for the info Jones.
T-hawk, quit acting like a whiny beeyatch!
i'll do it...but i am gaurenteeing that i finish in last place.
:P
The only problem with Fantasy BB is it is really LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG, and like Thawk or someone said you need to do almost daily checks/updates on your roster and at the beginning and end of the season it is fun, but during the long summer months it can get very boring and a lot of people in each league will just stop paying close attention.
Then you end up with maybe a couple people trying and everyone else just looking at it once a week tops.
Just a warning, it is loooooooooooooooooong and tedious.
I'll pass. :D

Ain't that the truth! It is a long season and you have to make sure you switch your pitching and sub out your guys with off-days. Sometimes you forget to check or they bump a guy to give him an extra day of rest and it throws off your whole rotation. Anyway...it's not so bad, just takes some effort to manage your squad.

I played in a Yahoo league last year and I'd be up for it. I'll be around the board more now that thigns are finally slowing down...
I'm down fo sho.
I just hope everyone stays active in the league. Nothing is worse that having someone chump out on you.
Automatic drafts reek. Live drafts rule.
Are we doing this? We should set it up soon if so. Yahoo is free again and accepting leagues already. I assume we will do an auto-draft?? But we also need to decide on the pitching and batting categories for the league.
I have no idea about any of that. I'll just be here, bored enough to actually participate.
Oh, and I've never played this before, so we can go ahead and lock me up a slot at the bottom of the standings. ;)
Default Categories are as follows:
Batting - Runs, Home Runs, RBI's, SB, Batting Avg.
Pitching - Wins, Saves, K's, ERA, WHIP
But its customizable to add any amount. some ones to consider:
Batting - Hits, Triples, Walks, Slugging Pct., Total Bases
Pitching - Walks, Total Bases allowed, K/BB, K/9 innings
i figure we could add one or two categories to batting and pitching if we needed to and still keep it simple.
sounds good to me. ;)
So whos gonna set this thing up?

sure, put your "friends" first, you selfish rat bastich!! :P
Bullshtein! Homohawk ain't playing because the league isn't :CF sanctioned. Loser.
I wouldn't mind running the league but as I've never played Fantasy BB before I wouldn't know the best way to set the league up. Those who have played before with different formats have a better understanding of it than I. If someone wants to take on the added burden of running a league I'll definately participate though. :)
Alright. I set it up with the following settings(which can be changed any time up till the draft). The draft is set to autodraft which basically allows you to rank the players in the order you want and the computer does the rest at draft time. I will PM everybody on this thread the league name and password. Anybody else that wants in....just PM me or respond to this thread.

Thanks for lining us out zilla :yay
K, I'm new to this, and I don't follow baseball.....so I'll ask my first stupid question....what does bn, tb, and whip stand for?
This is kinda kewl though, I started setting my draft order this morning and I must say that there sure are alot of DAMN baseball players. :o
BTW, when is the auto-draft, and could you let me know exactly how it works (does it stick to you ranking, go by position, etc.?)
Thanks, (I know I'm probably gonna annoy the hell out of you guys at first, not that thats anything new 8))
It sticks to the ranking. Baseball is so much more difficult than baseball *edit:FOOTBALL* when ranking players because of the many different positions.
Pitchers score more points, but obviously don't play but every four days or so.
Outfielders generally have the best hitting scores, but of course there are some infielders/catchers that are right up there too.
What makes fantasy baseball fun is, unlike football, there's almost always somebody to pick up on the waiver wire, and trades are easier to make.
*Edit Reason: Baseball is really the same thing as baseball
Quote from: Tomahawk on March 03, 2004, 11:53:43 AMBaseball is so much more difficult than baseball...
i read that 5 times to make sure it wasnt insane...then my head exploded ::)
Hey BHD,
BN - stands for bench player. Basically subs, can be any position.
TB - Total Bases
WHIP - (Walks + Hits)/Innings Pitched
This is a rotisserie league so there will be 12 categories(unless we decide on more or less. Each team will be ranked according to where they stand in that category and assigned a point total. 1st place in a category gets 12 points, 2nd place 11....etc. This is added for all categories to get a total and overall standings. Right now we have 6 pitching and 6 hitting categories.
Thanks, Zilla. That clears up alot. Can't wait to get this going!! (it will definately keep my mind off of the NFL rumor mill ;))
Thanks for the draft info Tomahawk, I know I'm gonna end up sucking at this, so I can use all the pointers I can get.

Quote from: Satoshi on March 09, 2004, 04:02:52 AM
So when the hell is the draft day?
Once i set the league as 'ready to draft' the auto draft will happen within 48 hours of that time. I plan to do this about a week before the 1st game. Right now we have 8 people signed up. Anybody else want in???
C'mon y'all...we only need TWO more teams to have enough for competition. C'mon...who wants in...i know you do. It'll be fun!
I finally got around to signing up. Yeah, I know.....I'm the one who brought it up in the first place. I can't sign up at work though because I can't sign into yahoo and I haven't been online much at home this week.
But now that Joe Mama's Crab Shak has arrived you all might as well quit now.
Alright we have 9....a few more would be even better. Its a rotisserie league so it doesn't matter whether we have an even or odd amount of teams. Any more of you CF'ers want in???
I'm a moron. I accidentally deleted the sign up info you sent me, bro. Hook a brutha up again. 8)
Ok...
Be prepared to feel the wrath of Wheeler's Toupee's....
:-D :-D :-D
I think we only need 1 more team now. C'mon bitches, sign up now!
Hey! We have 10 teams...we're ready to get this thing fired up. I'm ready? Who'd ready for this shtein?!?! :fire
Unless anyone is opposed, i will mark the draft as "ready" this friday?? Anyone else who wishes to join before that time feel free to post here or IM me for sign up details.
Can I join? Is it full?
Quote from: cj2112 on March 15, 2004, 05:04:42 PM

No it's not full, I will p/m you the info.
Awesome...draft away!
If you haven't ranked your players, please do so now. I am going to set the league draft status to 'Ready' by tonite, unless anybody is opposed. thanks.
Around what time is it going to start drafting? I doubt I'll mess with it too much since this is my first time playing. Also, once it starts, about how long until it's finished and we can see our rosters?

Fairly random. It says it will complete draft within 24 hours. It's usually quick. Should have a roster by tom. morning.
Got a quick question Zilla.....
If I were to draft 2 superstar short stops, and I was stuck with a crappy 2nd baseman, can you edit your rosters to move one of those players to 2nd, or are they stuck in their original position?

No. You can only move players to positions they are listed at by Yahoo. But you could move a second SS to the Utility position(any position player can be here).

Due to a majority of the people not wanting to micro-manage their team(put in a roster every day). The league is set up so you can only adjust your roster once a week and its on Mondays. Whatever lineup you set for a particular Monday is your lineup for the week.

Looks like it is locked, you are right. Maybe b/c the games have started? anyway, if you go to Monday, 4/12 you will see you can make moves on that date. as well as the 19th, 26th etc......
So we gotta make moves the week before???
You can change your roster any day of the week, you just need to select any Monday as your roster date and you will see the drop down boxes for roster moves. For example.....i set my roster for this week yesterday by choosing Mon. Apr 5th on the roster menu and adjusting my players.

can it be changed back to being able to edit daily? i think yahoo will just let a roster re-up itself as it goes.
i think it'll suck if someone gets hurt in a monday night game and then youre stuck with crap for a week.
i still dont want piazza...but if someones gonna offer a trade, i better get a catcher back.
Unfortunately, that is one of the few settings that are locked in place once the draft is over. We are stuck with this. i would prefer daily editing as well, but when we first decided to do this, most of the people said they would play if they only had to change their roster once a week.

Those peeps who only wanted to edit their roster once a week could've done so while the settings were still set up for the lineups to be edited daily.

i do...every other day or so(Hell's Satans). beltran has been a very happy surprise. so far i got a loaded outfield (if chipper jones has a leg left, even deeper)
however no one on my team steals bases.
and i have had a trade offer into chicken fajitas for about a week now with no response. i fargin HATE dead teams in fantasy sports.
Anyone have a REALLY good pitcher they want to trade for a couple of hitters? Obviously I'm not going to trade my two best hitters, but I'm kinda loaded with pretty good hitters and I want an ass-kicking pitcher.
I'll even couple H. Nomo with a hitter if the pitcher is good enough. And no, I don't want Jeff Suppan. :P

:-D :-D :-D
Am I the only one feeling the "yo-yo" effect in the standings? I've been as low as last place and as high as 2nd. I seem to be very steadily switching from 8 or 9 to 4 or 5. :-\
LMFAO @ T-hawk

LMFAO @ T-hawk
at one point i was in 1st with a 10pt lead...then 48 hours later was smelling 6 other teams farts. i am steadily climbing now...but my team era blows and NONE of my pitchers ever seem to get a friggin W :boom
That's how i was at first...fluctuating btw 6 and 2 and then once i got into first...i don't think i've left since. I've had anywhere from a 2 pt to a 25 point lead.
Unfortunaley some of you are going to be out of contention by Late June like real baseball. That'll be a fun time after that. :-D Watching paint dry comes to mind. :D
My bum ass team is somehow making a run at first. :-\ Just a matter of time till i am back in last place.
I'm farged...i don't know what happened. Wait...that damn Barry Bonds and all his walks...motherfarger!
i offered you a trade...you interested?

Just noticed it now. I am interested. I am walking out work now.....i will let you know tom.
great planning on my part...i NEED W's and stronger ERA's from my SP's and i have 2 going up against each other...here's hoping the reds and rockies play a 1-0 game today! >:(
Is it getting boring/old yet? Looks like the posting on this league has died down.
:-D You only have another 120 games to go.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :P
There is nothing to talk about. Unless everyone wants to discuss the fact that i've been in first all but two games this year!
who is winning anyway? :D

lol I was just giving you all a hard time. :D
Well, i shouldn't have opened my mouth...i dropped outta first last night.
I guess some people in the league said they didn't have the time to check their team and change people around so the person that started the league locked the teams up so that you can only change your people once a week.
I don't care if anyone else gets a chance to look or not...i have the ability to check on a daily basis.
I wish they would release the settings. So, if someone goes on the shelf on Monday...you have to suffer with them not in the lineup all week long and you lose points. That is how i dropped out of first.
Anyway...i think joneszilla is in first now.

Well it is baseball after all. Not exactly riveting stuff. :D Fantasy baseball gives me an excuse to watch boring baseball highlights on ESPN.
I agree with you SappHater...i am in another league with daily changes and i like it much more. Especially when a player goes on the DL in our league and you can't change it for week. >:( But there is some strategy behind the weekly settings.
BTW, I am in first. :) for today anyway. :-\

i had chipper jones go out on a monday, along with troy glaus...i'm in second. your team is just fluff :P
in checking the standings...how does Dickie Thons Revenge have 0 saves this far into the season? you think you'd have one accidentally. lol
Get URIBE you fantasy rounders-playing beeyotches! P.S. White Sox rule. :-*
White Sox suck! Orioles beat the hell out of all of them. Maybe. One day..... ;)
My team sucks....I'm just taking pride that they're not in last...haha.

Ha ha! 15-0 was one of them wasn't it!? Still, if you'd gone for two maybe you'd have tied it up. ;) Unfortunately, we have to play the A's and Mulder today after losing the first one yesterday :( However, then it's the Mariners, so hoepfully Freddy Garcia will drop one against his future ChiSocks! :D

Like Newcastle United, they wear black and white stripes! Well, that was the original reason. It's also great they play the Cubs in interleague play now. I hate them. They are even bigger losers than the Sox, yet they seem to be seen as, by the Chicago media and their own fans, as Chicago's real team. I laughed so hard over the Steve Bartman thing. :-D BTW, I think slugging percentage is something to do with how many bases you get per at bat - or something. ??? The only teams who visted England to my knowledge are the Red Sox and Yankees. I cannot support the Yankees as I refuse to be a bandwagon jumper and the only other friend of mine in England who likes baseball supports the Red Sox. Would be cool if ChiSox came to London tho'. I feel the need to beat up some umpires. :evil
Okay, I got it. How do you think about Takatsu?

Can't argue with the numbers. 1.33 ERA 3-0. :yay Shame he's not younger. :'( Could see him becoming the closer at some stage. BTW, Did you see your guys play our guys off the park at soccer the other day? ;)

Actually i didn't see the game, but i know what happened. Inamoto broke his ankle while Ono did a good job. Inamto had a chance to go to Athens, but Ono is likely to be replaced. I also heard Becham would come here and play with one of our clubs.

Ono scored. Haven't heard any Beckham to Japan rumours to be honest. He says he's staying at Real Madrid, but there have been rumours of him going to Chelsea.
Okay, I better say Real Madrid will come here.

That's it after Koch walked the winning run in the bottom of the ninth with bases fargin loaded, I'm all for Takatsu at closer right now. :boom
Sounds good to me. I dont know if he can do well when all the bases are loaded though.
Satoshi,
Was Takatsu a closer in Japan? ???

He became a closer when he was 25. He made 200+ saves.

Then, hell, bring him in. Ozzie Guillen seems reluctant though. :boom If Billy Koch was doing any good, he'd have a point, but he sucks. :win
Here's an interesting artcle about Takatsu and Koch. (http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_perspectives.jsp?ymd=20040610&content_id=767700&vkey=perspectives&fext=.jsp)

:yay Nice article. I actually understand Ozzie's reasoning and I am far from unhappy with him as a manager, but I would like to find out sooner rather than later how Shingo does as a closer, because the situation cannot stay as it is now.
You guys should fill your rosters with Dodgers, they have some great fantasy baseball stars :'( :'(
Is this still going on? How much ass is my team kicking?

THat's fantasy baseball for you, and there's a looooong boring ride to the end. :P
Finally...this misery will come to an end. I can't believe Joneszilla held on all this time!! I'm stuck in 2nd place and i can never gain any points. Someone...end this season already!
Yahoo has it up now. Will there be an offical :CF league?
I don't know if fantasy baseball can be an official CF game or whatever. :paranoid
uhhhh hell no.
Come on, who doesnt want to slave over OBP and OPS numbers for 6 months?
I was in a league last season.
I finished week one 14-1 and in first place! ;D
It went downhill from there. :paranoid
Freakin' Barry Zito. :boom
So does anyone want to a league, not anything CF offical?
i was in it last year. i sucked at it. so, hey, why the hell not
I like to think I know a lot about baseball (a fair amount more than football, anyway). I tried to use the Sabremetric approach last year, and ended up fifth out of 10 teams. The 2-4th place teams just pretty much randomly picked players. :-D
Let's get it rollin...i'm in. I've played for five straight years and won my league once.
I'm down. I'll set it up if no else is gonna take the initative. Lets do this.
I will participate if there are any spots open, although there is still no way in hell this is an official CF contest. ;)

It looks like we have enough interested parties, all someone needs to do is go ahead and make the league.

thats all.
How about Balks for pitchers and IBB for hitters.
this is already too complicated. :-D
Everyone just select one random player, and who ever injects themselves with steroids more wins.
fine, i'll set the damn thing up on yahoo. and i'll decide everything. you don't like it tough shteinties. ;D
3 objections, and MDS is back in charge.
I was never in charge. I just said I'd press a few buttons.
