Kevin Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Posted March 16, 2010 Just curious who is managing 'The Witless Knobs' in the points league . It's a new profile and an unfamiliar username so I can't work it out for certain . CanAm ? CJ ? Laurie ? ...
MindCrime Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 is this going to be in divisions or all one conference, i'm referring to points league
MindCrime Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 probably the week of opening day? it should tell on the site, I'll go check it out later when I have time
CanAm Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Just curious who is managing 'The Witless Knobs' in the points league . It's a new profile and an unfamiliar username so I can't work it out for certain . CanAm ? CJ ? Laurie ? ... That would be moi, Kevin! Catchy name, huh? I've already entered my list of 100 preferred players, so I hope that I get at least some of the players I like. Last year, I learned a valuable lesson. The stats for starting pitchers have huge point values, and I started the season very weak in the starting pitcher category. I was very heavy with relief pitchers. This year I hope to start the season with at least one of my top 5 starting pitchers.
MindCrime Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 I see Kevin has quite a few questions to answer.
Kevin Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) We can likely draft sometime toward the end of next week. Let's say Friday , March 26th , for now in order to give everyone the weekend and most of next week to sign up and get their draft lists prepared if necessary . That likely will be enough time . If everyone is ready and wanting to get going before that , though , we can begin earlier . I think opening day is April 4th this year ... no ? I don't think we will split the teams into divisions for the head to head league as it will likely have, at best, only 8 players . It's something we could try , though , if people want to do it . The points league will not be split either as it has no playoff system . ----------------- One point for Rocky to consider : unlike most leagues , our head to head system has one scoring category for 'holds' ; it gives us a little more use of the player pool . Therefore, you may wish to keep an eye out for a good relief pitcher ( non-closer ) at some point . Some players prefer to ignore the category and do just fine by loading up in other categories but some choose to play it ; your call . There is also a holds category in the points league as well , however , it is rarely used . It is there simply to provide an option in a situation where , due to injuries , a lack of quality (or no ) closers in the player pool , or a closer just not seeing much action , one may opt to choose a relief pitcher instead to try and get some points .

RockyRaccoon Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Ahhh interesting. Thanks. Well I'm ready to rock. Although I believe that the yahoo fantasy baseball season starts march 29th since it has to start on a monday.
Kevin Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 You're right , but it must be Apr.5th , then , as Yahoo! MLB Sports says there are only exhibition games scheduled for the 29th .
Kevin Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Can everyone who has yet to sign up for the league(s) of their choice please try to do so sometime this week ? Also , if you want or need a delay on the proposed Friday draft date ( 12:00 pm U.S. EST ) in order to complete your draft list choices , either post here or PT me . Thanks , Kevin
miamisammy29 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 First game is Sunday, April 4, Red Sox vs. Yankees @ 8:05pm. Yes, all stats will count. And, of course, don't forget....YANKEES SUCK!!
RockyRaccoon Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Are we gonna get any Bench/DL positions on our rosters?
miamisammy29 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Yes, but they're all reserved for Texas Rangers.
CanAm Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 About the draft. On Yahoo, I created a list of my top 100 players to replace the default list provided by Yahoo. Is this what we're supposed to do, or should I send the my list of players to you, Kevin?
Kevin Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Posted March 24, 2010 No ,you're fine ,CanAm. 100 players ?! Boy , you had some free time on your hands ! I rarely set more than 25 , and for the last 2 years have just used the default setting . You'll definitely be getting many of your choices then .
Kevin Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Posted March 27, 2010 Ok , I've called for the draft . Hope everyone is ready . Good luck ! The players could be dealt out anywhere from the next few hours up to a day or so . Remember that there will be a two day freeze on picking up and dropping players from the player pool ( as though all were just released to waivers ). However , you can go ahead and make some moves and they will be processed 2 days later depending on waiver order .
Kevin Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Posted March 28, 2010 Teams are ready . Go check them out . Pretty good mix , though my early money is on RJ having an great year in head to head. Look at that pitching staff !
RonJonSurfer Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 The luck of the draw, but it's about time. Pitching staff looks pretty darn good...we'll see.
RockyRaccoon Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 I feel like my offense is unfairly good. However, I don't have much pitching. If you have good pitching and need offense give me a holler!
Lucky Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 I feel your offense is unfairly good too, Rocky! Dunno what I did to offend the draft gods, but ah well, we'll work it out.
Carl Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 ARod in both leagues. I'll like the numbers, but I won't feel good about it.
miamisammy29 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 A-Rod will have a torn hamstring by May 15, and be out for the year. Trade him now. Trust me on this.
