When's the draft?

[Headache in a Suitcase]

we've already been filled to our max of 2, so i have opened up TWO more spots, bringing the max up to 14. if at the end of the week those spots haven't been filled, i'll shrink it back to 2 and set the draft date. if those spots fill quickly, i'll add another spot and wait and see for a few days if anyone else joins.

as for the suggestions for a 5&5 league, statwise, it's a do-able option. what does everyone else think? happy with the current stats, or want it a simple 5&5? let me know soon so i can change things around

 

[zonelistener]

simplify!

for those of us who are as smart when it comes to fantasy sports!

<------------ (hint! )

 

[popacrobat]

keep it as is

 

[Elvis Presley]

Well, I suggested the 5x5, not so much for the simplicity, although that is nice. But more so for the value of stats, having shutouts as a stat highly elevates only a select # of pitchers. Last year the league lead was 3 in the NL, 2 in the AL.
And for hits and walks, WHIP is a better gauge for these two put together imo. I dont mind hits for batters, but having the same # of categories for each makes it even. If there are more pitching categories than hitting, everyone should take all the stud pitchers first. Because they have a greater effect on the chance of you winning.

Just my 2 cents....

 

[Chizip]

i like 15X15

 

[Nate Dogg]

I really wanted to join, but I have two teams already...I don't want to overload myself and be that guy who just lets his team sit there and do nothing....good luck, though!

The Steal of the draft: Chizip signing on right after the draft ended at like 2:30 in the morning and snagging rookie shortstop kazuo matsui before i did

The Team most likely to run out of Injured List spots: ChutesTooNarrow... Giambi with no roids,Jim Edmonds, Kevin Brown, Phil Nevin & Ken Griffey Jr.

The Team that gave too many people playing the same position high rankings: Tie... MyTeamAlwaysSucks (3 of first 4 picks were first basemen) & Wrigleyville Gumshoes... (first 8 picks were pitchers)

Wrigleyville Gumshoes... (first 8 picks were pitchers)

yes...I overloaded my draft order with pitchers...but still was able to draft a decent team.

AND....I have an impressive rotation...good pitching can cancel out lousy offensive production. [/famouslastwords]

 

[pub crawler]

hehe... I have pretty much what will be the Angels' opening day roster minus Bartolo, Percival, Shields and a few no-name relievers and bench players.

The only thing I'm wondering: does yahoo account for the fact that some players are changing positions this year from last? Yahoo has me playing Erstad as a CF but he will be playing 1B and Garrett Anderson will be playing center. I want to play Erstad as my first baseman in this league.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

I got shutdown on the sign-up.



Watch out for the chiz... any commodity will be his.

 

[Elvis Presley]

Chiz didnt even want Edmonds....

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

not having a life has its perks

indeed

cujo... when it filled to 12 i opened 2 more spots to 14... no one signed up after a week, so i went back to 12 and set the draft to ready. my appologies.. you were off in LA when this whole thing broke.

 

[Chizip]

pub, after a player plays 15 games at a new position this year, then it will be added as a position they can play

 

[pub crawler]

Thanks, Chiz.

Hmmm, I better come up with a strategy to make up for the fact that I will have an inactive Garrett Anderson and Darin Erstad for the first 15 games of the season.

 

[pub crawler]

Actually GA's counted as an OF, not a LF, so that eliminates any issues with respect to my outfield. First base is another matter.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

would the artist known as Sligomen please review his trades... the commish would like to send his first basemen off to other places if you hath no interest...

also, the commish has allowed the proposed martinez for borowski deal

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

wigginton for pujols, delgado and piazza is pretty rediculous a counter-offer chiz... i must admit...

but then again... kaz matsui for roy halliday is a pretty rediculous offer in it's own right.
