Fantasy Baseball???

[Clarkwork]

Are we doing it again this year?  I have to reedeem myself from last year.

[Ruckus]

Is it that time already?  I'd play again if it's going down again

[Clarkwork]

i'm early with it, but pitchers and cathers are reporting soon so not too much longer.

[aMillionDreams]

I'm in.  I also feel the need to redeem myself.

It's going to happen this year, the next year, and the following years. It's tradition!  8-)

Ruck, did people pay up from last year?

Yes sir.  Everyone was totally cool with paying up.   :)

I'm glad everyone payed up. We can play for 20 again. I know The Junk is out for this season. Headdy should join up. That or anyone else that's into baseball.

RC, it doesn't take too much time.  The draft is an hour or two.  After that you just have to update your roster twice a week or so which doesn't take more than 15 minutes.  Or you can check it everyday for 5 minutes.  You can put more time in it and obsess over it but that won't necessarily translate into more wins.

It'd be nice to get 10 in the league this time.

I'm down for $20 again, especially since everyone paid up.

Count me in too, if there's room.

It would be nice to have more people this year, that way every team is not just loaded with allstars.  Although it seemed like the group last year stayed involved until the very end.

I'm in for it again this year, guys, $20 is cool with me too.  Haven't been around here much at all lately, although loving that the guys will be playing fairly close to me on May 2!  Pretty sure the wife and I will be there, but haven't made arrangements for the kids yet.

ok I'm in....I guess we will get a pm from someone about a draft / sign up date. 20 $ is ok as well...count me as signed in...anywhere I can go to help me understand the rules of the fantasy league. For instance how do you score or win or collect points....never palyed ANY fantasy league ANYTHING...total noob....you guys sure you dont want someone  with a little more experience ?

[aMillionDreams]

We've gotta beat up on somebody!   ;)

There's really not that much to it.  ESPN has good fantasy draft information, if you want just general rules/scoring information go to yahoo fantasy help and look at their FAQs, they're pretty informative and we use yahoo so that's a good place to start.

If we only have 8teams this year, we can add a few more roster slots. I was thinking about changing Innings Pitched, because in my money league people didn't like it. Dylan probably remembers that controversy.

Don't worry about it. You'll get the hang of it. I'll help you out as much as I can, because I would hate for anyone to start with a disadvantage.

You battle your weekly opponent over stats. Like Homeruns, RBI's, Total Bases, Batting Average..etc for hitters. Wins, K's, Saves...etc for pitchers. You shouldn't have problem.

I agree with this.  It would be great if we could get at least 10 if not 12.

I would like 10 or 12 too. If we only get 8, I'll expand the roster size. Ruck, don't act like you didn't like having a stack team. You got paid, son!

[Ruckus]

So will there be an invite coming soon?

[.Walt]

Yeah, I'll get that setup and posted on here by tomorrow afternoon. Wish Mauer would have been signed by now.
