TrekBBS Fantasy Baseball League!

[Scout101]

Yeah, if this was a dynasty league (keep as many as you want to), you'd all be in serious trouble. Given the choice, I'd only drop 3 players, i think, so you're lucky I can only keep 6.

I'd rather have my list than his, but Coaster also has a pretty good squad to work with over there...

I set the draft for Sunday, March 23, 2008 at 6:45 PM ET the times available where some what limited, around the time we where thinking could pick from 4:45, 6:45, or 10pm. So went with 6:45 for the draft.

 

[Scout101]

6:45pm EST on Sunday the 23rd should work just fine for me.

Works better than the 24th, even, because depending on what time the Red Sox/A's game on the 24th is in Japan, we actually might have missed it if we did the 9pm on the 24th draft.

And since I have Beckett, and he's likely to start that game, I'd be disappointed to miss him dominating the lowly A's for 9 innings...

Does Yahoo do any Mock Drafts? It would be nice to get into one and see how it turns out. It might help me make better choices.

 

[Scout101]

not sure. They post a lot of mock drafts from fantasy 'experts', but never seen them let you do one. You can do them through ESPN, though. There's usually at least a couple an hour...

I usually try and do at least one, and at least the first 10 rounds of it. It'll, of course, not reflect your real draft at all, and completely collapse in the 2nd round of the real draft, but it at least helps to try and eliminate some of those stupid decisions as the draft clock hits 0:10 and you're still fumbling...

6:45 will be ok, I guess. I'll get the kids to bed a tiny bit early that night...

It still beats last year's draft - we had guests over at the time (during the day) and I kept on having to run up and down the stairs to the computer room to make my picks

 

[Scout101]

yeah, at least it's a sunday night, so shouldn't get in the way of very much...

All, it's that time of year, Fantasy Baseball leagues have opened up for Yahoo.

The pertinent info:

Live draft is set for March 18th, 8pm EST

Still looking for a few good players. Don't be shy, grab a spot and give it a try. Only ask that if you sign up, try to keep up with your team for the season, and don't bail out after a few weeks...

Thread moved to the Sports Forum at request of OP.

 

[Scout101]

Thanks, Cap'n. Figured since we had a shiny new forum, might as well pop her cherry with our baseball thread

 

[Scout101]

Come on in, folks, get your shiny new fantasy baseball team here...

 

[tomalak301]

We still need one more person for the NL Trekbbs Fantasy League. If you like Fantasy Baseball, will stick around, or just want to try it for the first time, join up. It's a lot of fun, despite how I did last year. Again, the info:

Agree with what Tomalak said, except that it's the NL, not the AL. I'm a lifelong American League guy, sure, but Sportzkid beat me to it last year, and I just renewed it this year rather than trying to fight him for it again.

Anywho, sign up, we need ONE more person to fill it out. Tomalak is gonna take care of last place, so you don't have to worry about getting killed by everyone, at least

Oops. Changed it just now.

We will see about that. I have nowhere to go but up.

 

[Scout101]

can't argue with that

Glad for that, because even if you had tried to steal the name, I would not have gone done without a fight... lol And I also have always been a AL guy, since I grew up with the Twins.


Also in the AL we still need 4 more players to fill out the spots!

The Twin, eh? Are they in the American league? *checks down the list* Ah, there they are, way down there a bit

Come on, folks. You lobbied for a Sports Forum, time to man up and participate in the threads! Need 5 people for Fantasy Baseball, come on in and grab a spot!

 

[Captain Ice]

We might have to think about looking in the "Declare Yourself" thread and posting a pointer or sending a few PMs to point people to this thread.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Perhaps. Time to lasso some people in!!

 

[Scout101]

A good idea. Then again, it's sad if people can lose a thread, and there's only ONE page in the forum, so not like it dropped off.

Along those lines, with all the begging and lobbying for a sports forum, you'd think it would be easier to finish filling out a Fantasy Baseball league once we got one, no?
