Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Hello Baseball fans! With the baseball season almost upon us, I have decided to start up a TSM Fantasy Baseball League (via Yahoo) for anyone who is willing to join up and play! Come on now, don't be shy. In this head-to-head league, you'll face off against one opponent weekly. 22 weeks of fun people! What more can you ask for? Join now! This league only supports 16 teams, so don't delay! Sign up now! Just some minor notes before I go into what will be scored on and such and such. Firstly, the league begins on March 30th for play. Top six teams (at least I think it is the top 6) will advance to the playoffs to be crowned the TSM know it all of Baseball! All trades and waivers have a one day restiction. Trades will only be vetoed by the Commish (that being me). The trade deadline is August 15th. All players not selected in the draft will be free agents immediately thereafter. I'm taking the Can't Cut List off, because I'll police the league and smack anyone stupid enough to drop their whole team off for the hell of it. Minimum innings pitched per team per week is 7. Roster changes happen daily, so remember to fix them up as you go. Scoring starts of course, on March 30th. The batting roster will consist of a catcher, first, second, third, short stop, three outfielders, two utilities, and four available benches. Pitching roster consists of two starting pitchers, two relief pitchers, and two "all pitchers". The draft will be occuring at 9:45am PST (12:45pm EST) on Feb 26th. It will be a LIVE draft! So please make sure you clear out your schedule and everything else. Date can be changed although time will still probably be crap. I'll be doing a random drawing out of a hat (no, I'm not lying) on who gets what position in the draft. Ok? I'll even web cam it to prove my legitmacy of the drawings (if I can steal the webcam from my sister that is). There will be 12 statistics for batting rosters. They are: Runs, Hits, Singles, Doubles, Triples, Homeruns, Runs Batted In, Stolen Bases, Walks, Strikeouts, Errors, and Batting Average. There will be 11 statistics for pitching rosters. They are: Wins, Loses, Complete Games, Shutouts, Saves, Hits, Earned Runs, Walks, Strikeouts, Earned Run Average, and (Walks+Hits)/Innings Played (WHIP). Now then, most of these statistics will probably change by the coming of the season, but that's what I got. But for right now, a total of 23 statistics up for grabs. Times 22 weeks and that's a whomping 506 "games" to win. If you wish to play, just join away. League ID# is 17124. Password is choko Of course, as always, I'm Crimson Storm. Have fun guys! Hopefully, we'll get a whole bunch of people to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 BTW, this league also allows for odd number teams! So no worrying about making the league an odd manned league! Just join up for the fun anyways! You won't hurt anyone at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm the Pawtucket Red Sox. Also I am unavailible for that particular draft time(Work). Any weekend times availible at all? It's still very early yet there should be. There is no draft times on the weekends. It isn't that they don't have any, they aren't listed. PERIOD. Oh well, I've got a backup plan that might work. We'll do the draft offline BUT all picks must be sent to me, which I'll post up in this thread. This way we can continually see the list growing and not having any problems and such. ...at least that's one thing to do anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Offline seems fine to me, I loved that about the NBA league. People actually liked that? ...I thought everyone wanted to kill me over that draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cartman 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm sure some impatient ones did I liked it because it gave more time to research each pick, while not causing people who work/school all day every day to miss out on having a team that THEY want. I hate missing an online draft, or having to do an autopick draft cause people always end up with players they didnt want at all, no matter how they ranked them.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm not sure about joining this league, as I have a few I'm already committed to. I will make a suggestion about the draft. I'm running a league where each person picks a time (ie 1000-1015) where they'll be online. They make a pick at the assigned time. That way, the draft time is structured. That might be worth looking at here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 There are too many players to do a offline draft here, make it like live draft or done in an AOL chatroom or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm in...kinda obvious at my team name(I use it in all my leagues now). Oh and I promise I won't be banned by Yahoo this time! Just in case it happens, I let ya have the chance to edit my team in case it does happen. Anyways, I'll be in school that day and won't get out till 3:00 ET(I'll probably get home by then driving wise, assuming traffic isn't that bad) so I'd probably miss that draft if it were live.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted February 18, 2004 yeah I'll join too. I'm going back to my football name because there aren't any baseball players on trial for rape. at the moment. that I know of. and I think it's fair to say that a live draft with 16 people is impossible.

Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm in. Same name, Slayers one. As for the draft, I'm more in favor of the offline one, especially since I'm in class when we're scheduled to do the live one, and offline gives people more time to research their picks and whatnot, as well as potentially make deals if we're allowing that. Also, I'm going away for extended amounts of time in the upcoming weeks, so if our draft conflicts with those time, I can just tell Flik whom I want and whatnot.

Bored 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm the Rebels of Oakland. Oh and I agree that the date has to be changed to the weekend if your going to have a live draft. I checked and there are weekend dates available so maybe just try again. At the very least hold the draft at night during the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 What about doing it at night then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 What about doing it at night then? Can't. There are no night drafting times left for at night. Which means this draft is once again "OFFLINE". However, it is going to be different than how I handled the NBA one. There will be a date and time that you must attend (don't and we just plug in players at your position, unless you send me a listing of players you wish for and I'll work with that). And we'll hold it then, via AIM Chatroom. Results will be posted up here. Think that's the best way to do this. Now then, if we can all agree on a time and date, we're good to go.

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Apparently Tom has the league as well. Edit: And didn't read my thread about it... GR!!! ...he also has a better drafting time. March 8th at 7pm EST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Ok... I'm deleting my league, everyone go join Tom's. Apparently, I'm a dumbass and must've missed him saying he'd open the league for us (because I hadn't checked the Offseason thread for quite some time). So please go join his league. It's at the top, only pinned thread there is. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 You don't have to be so rash. There is room for many fantasy leagues. I know some people prefer the head-to-head style. Your league certainly isn't disapproved of here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Yeah hold it Flik, also what if the slots all get filled in Tom's? We could still play in yours. I'm a junkie so the more leagues the merrier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Tom's is rotisserie, as are mine. Tom has 12 slots, so it'll be more of an upper-level league. I know there will be more interested posters than that. And mine might be too competitive/difficult for some people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
