Title: Fantasy Baseball
Post by: hatingfrancisco on March 28, 2013, 08:16:31 AM
Any of you blokes partake?  I was going to come on here and offer up that I need a couple spots in my 10 team weekly h2h but then I thought it might be actually kind of fun to have a gE league.  Any thoughts?

Title: Re: Fantasy Baseball

Not interested as I'm in another league with some Brooooooo's and fantasy baseball takes up alot more time than football.

FB is a good time killer over the summer though, fun stuff!

Yeah daily roster changes can definitely take up alot of your time.  That's why I like the weekly head2head stuff.  Locks before first game on monday and therefore you can just adjust the sunday evening before...  lots of fun and then the next thing you know it's football season!

The league I play in it only locks for each day...So if you want to win you need to constantly shuffle players in and out of the lineup to make up for days they are off....Also have to plan out your pitchers starts so you dont have your stud pitcher waste a start because you have already hit your max allowed starts for the week.

It doesn't look like this thing is taking off.  So the offer still stands for anyone that wants to join my league.  I have two spots open (its a weekly h2h 10 team league at CBS.)

Let's run with this and see what happens.  I'll set it up for a draft tonight and see what happens.  Anyone have any preferences for providers? (ESPN, YAHOO, CBS)  I've played them all and it seems like CBS has the best weekly setup for peeps that don't want to get too involved...

I know it's 2 months till opening day but:

Let's do a CBS/ lock your lineups once a week/head to head league.

Title: Re: Fantasy Baseball
Post by: hatingfrancisco on February 09, 2015, 08:01:45 AM
I've not done moneyball in this setup before largely because of the weekly lineup lock in.  You lose a guy to the DL on Monday and that position brings you a big fat zero the rest of the week.

But I'm in for some cash if everyone else is.

Title: Re: Fantasy Baseball
Post by: AppleJack on March 27, 2015, 01:26:47 PM
Everyone - I have an urgent draft question. I'm in a 12 team keeper league (6 keepers, only keep players drafted after first 6 rounds, 4 years of control) and I have traded for the 1st pick in our draft tomorrow.

There are 3 players worth drafting in this league 1.1:

Miggy
Goldschmidt
Abreu

My keepers consist of: Rendon, Arenado, Springer, Mesoraco, Scherzer and Kipnis.

WHO DO I CHOOSE?????
Title: Re: Fantasy Baseball
Post by: hatingfrancisco on March 27, 2015, 04:42:57 PM
@dub I doubt we pull off cash this season.  And seeing as how the league is only 60% gE.com and the rest are EMAWS not everyone will have BBS tags
Title: Re: Fantasy Baseball
Post by: hatingfrancisco on March 27, 2015, 04:43:28 PM
Applejack.  If you can't keep the first pick then it's got to be Miggy

Yeah, I really blew it on changing the lineup.  Thought I was fine until I realized I changed it for next week.  If I win with 4 people out on injury and low pitcher starts then Coach's Cats should just quit.
