Fantasy Baseball????

[suave1477]

Hey members its that time again.

Last year someone set up a Fantasy Baseball on Yahoo for the forum members and we had a great turn out we filled up all the teams and everyone was pro active with it. I am just curious if anyone will be setting one up this year?

Yeah. It was that TRSENT guy and he doesn't like us anymore. He took his ball and went home.

Re: Fantasy Baseball????

Sounds like a great time - how does Yahoo run their draft? Is it live or via a list? I've played for years and years on ESPN but never on Yahoo.....

What i do is an autopick draft.What you have to do is make your own draft rankings and then the draft is picked based on everyones draft preferences.It's really tough to do a live draft with 10 teams unless you all have the same schedule.I'll be posting the info tomorrow morning probably so there will be 9 openings in this league.

Re: Fantasy Baseball????

Jon im definitely in but why 10 teams?
There are more then neough members here to do more then 10 teams and eve last year I beleive we had about 20 teams and I think we have enough to do it again this year?

I just want to make sure the autopick is where we pick he we want the most and then yahoo picks for us who we get is that correct?

As for the autopick you are correct.I like 10 teams because it's more personable and you get less teams that bail.I hate when that happens.With 20 teams if your at the bottom there is more reason to just give up mid season.Someone else should do a 10 team league as well for all those that won't be in this one.Thanks.Make sure to look for the info at the latest tomorrow night.I'll be leaving links and passwords to the league.

Re: Fantasy Baseball????

I've created a 10-team league on Fox Sports. I did Yahoo for various leagues, but found Fox to be a pretty sizable upgrade.

I will warn you that it's scored a bit different than you're probably used to. It's a 6x6 league, and the categories are as such:
BATTING
Hits
Extra base hits
RBI
Runs
OBP
Total bases

PITCHING
Wins
Saves
Strikeouts
WHIP
ERA
Holds

I can post the league info later on if there's any interest in this setup.

Re: Fantasy Baseball????

One other question -

When do you have the draft set up for? I'm about to go out of town for a few weeks and don't want to screw it up by not being around in time to change the list.....
