Who's interested in 2011 Fantasy Baseball?
$22 gets you in the door, winner take all (minus Paypal fees)
My proposed scoring for 2011:
Batters:
Total Bases - Batting Average - Runs - Home Runs - SB - Walks - Errors
Pitchers:
IP - ERA - K - WHIP - Quality Starts - Holds - Net Saves
Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?
I'm in.
no Ws for pitchers?
I have no suggestions. I think it has worked well the last 2 years.
The thinking is that wins are a very arbitrary stat, and it bugs some people that you can pick up a shitty pitcher on a good team (pitching against a bad team) for a day and get a win.
A Quality start is 6 IP, 3 or fewer runs allowed, which is as good as a win in my book.

that's fine. I was just curious.
I meant to add, PM me for my Paypal info and I'll send over the League Info.
Also, we draft on March 15 at 9pm EST.
Just for fun I added 2 more stats: Grand Slam Home Runs and No-Hitters.
not sure how I feel about a couple of those categories but I'm definitely in. can't wait!
::crickets::
Yeah, so far we have 2 people signed up and ready...
I'm sure we can get to at least 6.

nice. that gives me a 1 in 1000 chance of finishing in the top 5.
don't we want at least 10?
Yes, but we can't force people to pay.
If we have fewer than 10 we can expand the rosters.
You know I'm in!@
I'm in this year... should be fun...
But I can't draft on March 15 @ 9:00pm EST... I'm in school... Mon. - Thurs./4:30 - 8:30 MST.
So I'm hoping we can do the draft on a Fri., Sat., or Sun. @ 9:00 pm EST or earlier in day on any day during the week..??
Yea, I'm in
Does Sunday March 27 @ 9PM work for draft day?
I (somehow) forgot I'm going to be in Spain on March 15.
If you're in, pm me for league info and paypal payment info.
works for me. PM sent
I don't feel like giving my money away this year. I suck at Fantasy Baseball. I don't have the attention span for it. :|
27th is fine with me.

quitter! :cry:
I'm in!
I don't like the change in scoring though, I thought last year was perfect. 3 years now we've had three different ways of scoring..
/just sayin'
Who else wants in this year?!
Im out this year. Tired of giving you fools my money.
the fuck??
Fantasy baseball, LOL
:-P
Well, it's pretty evident we have some quitters who don't know enough about baseball to compete...
What do we want to do? Should I refund your money and we'll start a free friends and family league to get enough people?
may be the only way to go :|
I really want to play and it would be nice to get a 10 or 12 team league going.
I have no opinion.
It's not due to lack of knowledge, it's more my attention span. I know alot of that has to do with the Orioles sucking for the last 13+ years too. I just lose alot of interest in baseball once they start talking about the NFL.
I know it's only $20 or whatever, but if you all are really hurting for players, I'd gladly play for free.
/cheapskate
Glad I just payed my dues..

any way we can keep it for $$ and bring a couple players in to get it to 10 at least? who we got so far?

I'd rather keep it a $$$ league.. Maybe we could get a few outsiders, I have no problem with that..
i just think we should pick 5 more people and not give them a choice of whether they want to join.
it's all in the approach.
I just can't keep 3 leagues straight anymore, no time...whenever I do multiple leagues, all my teams suffer and I am already in two......I always get beat up in this league too! Been at the bottom the last couple years...I would do it, but I wouldn't be very active so it wouldnt be fair to you guys .....I know, I know, I'm a pussy....
we are struggling this year.
so...
League fail... I will refund those who paid soon.

I call it quitters fail.
FUCK!
Agreed it sucks. I will focus on my keeper league, but I liked having a second league to try different things, or watch for other trends.
are we doing a for fun league?
I WANNA PLAY FANTASY BASEBALL GODDAMMIT.
This really sucks... only 3 players short, some other peoples have got to step to the plate... WTF!!
:beerbang: Maybe we should make it a beer league. :beerbang:
since the league is set up already (thanks), can't we just use it for a fun league and add a few more players?
I've started out batting .179 in my roto league..
:frustrated:
Took part in a late draft today, my team looks SICK!

Anyone interested in playing this year? I believe this(2011) was the last time we had a league.
Just saw this, ill play
Matt? Aug? Anyone else?
Too many leagues, too little time. Sorry/thanks for thinking of me...
I'd play if we can get it to 10 at least
We got 4 so far. Anyone else?
bump
Where's Tehdead when you need him?
4 team league would be epic
I have one spot open in my league this year. Matt was in it previously (you are welcome back Slammers if you want) and August is the defending champ this year. Does anyone have interest in joining the league? It's pretty competitive (not overly) and fun.
10 person Yahoo head to head league, no keeper, $35 Buy-In...Get at me if you feel like joining
ETA: NM, spot filled. Go Mets!
