I set up the league. League ID is 62985. League password is tigersx.

Everyone from last year should ave gotten an e-mail with an invite. Any noobs can join as well. I did not add any different stats this year but we can add holds and On-base percentage if you guys like. Holds is a pretty tough category in my opinion and I would rather do without, but we can vote on adding the new stats. This is a democracy, but my vote counts for 13....

Also, I can not find where I can change how the tie-breakers work. I will keep looking and get on that if find something better Ogre.

The draft is Tuesday March 24th at 8:30. The only requests I had was that it not be from Mar. 16-20 and it not be done too early. If you sign up for this league, please try to set time available for the draft. Not only is it fun, but it makes kicking your ass that much more enjoyable because you actually PICKED your shitty ass team. We may can change this if needed.

Good Luck Guys!

Another thing...Do we want to play for money? I will hold the money but you guys would have to send the money out to Texas. You also don't know me for shit so if you want to vote someone else treasurer, I am cool with that too...

I just registered the Muffdivers. I'm down for playing for money. How much per person? We did $20 in Football.

Just a note that the draft starts at 8:30 PM Central Time. Also I see that there is a setting for "no playoffs". What's up with that?

I will look into the no play off thing. I am up for putting extra money in and having a tourny winner and season winner if you guys want. It rewards for the season and also keeps everyone interested in the play offs. That is what I do in my cash FF league and it works out nice.

Team Roid Rage is ready to go. Anyone want to take the time to explain the scoring and what not? So I don't fail too horribly?

Ogre · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:36:02 AM »

No, I'd rather just watch you fail horribly.

i suggest drafting players from your favorite major league team. as an example...having an all braves team seem to work for some when playing teh fantasy baseball.

I think you might be pulling my leg. I distinctly remember someone trying that in our fantasy football league and failing horribly.

You should really try and pick an all ROID team...of course, that wouldn't leave much for the rest of us.

ok...alright...you got me...i was trying to pull a fast one on you.

as the current tigers x fantasy baseball champ, i do offer this advice:

pick players born between the dates of may 1st and october 31st of the hispanic descent, preferably dominican. statistically, these players perform best on teh yahoo fantasy baseball. you can sort by birth date and ancestry when pre-ranking teh draft order.

I guess this is yet another way for me to give you fuckers some more money.

are we going to stick with 12 teams or is there enough interest to make it 14, perhaps 16?

I don't know how the baseball thing works, but we had so many people in the football deal that it was impossible to make a move when you needed to. There were no players left to pick up

I have a feeling that picking up players in fantasy Baseball will not be a problem.
