Guest Wart Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Another downside to the weekly format is in the event of an injury, what happens then? Say Garcia gets injured on thursday, I wouldn't be able to change my lineup and switch out the injured player would I? No. But again, this is just like if it happens during a game. And I repeat this will be up for debate during the draft. If you want it just like a game, then wouldn't it make sense to be able to put a new player in if somebody gets hurt? But its really not a big deal to me whether its daily or weekly.
Lightning Flik Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 Yes. But I don't control that, Yahoo does. And most likely, they don't let you.
Lightning Flik Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) So, I have the pass, but whats the league ID #? TSM Fantasy Baseball: ID# - 94383 Edited February 23, 2005 by Lightning Flik
Styles Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah, I got your PM just as I was posting, and you read it before I edited. Smooth! Anyway, just as a heads up, my team name this year is Rockbirds.
Lightning Flik Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 Just figured that maybe the other people missed it as well. I'm still missing 2 people from the league. You've got Thursday until Midnight to contact me. Otherwise bravesfan and one other get to be in the league. Please note that during the draft (date TBA) will have some concerns that will need addressing: 1) Weekly or Daily Rosters 2) Waiver Draft during off-season 3) Anything else Draft should happen sometime from this Friday (February 26th) to next Sunday (March 6th). Also, let's all try to take Al down this year, m'kay?
Styles Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Before the draft, could a list, by position of all the keepers be listed so we know who's avaliable to draft or not?
Lightning Flik Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 Will be done once I found out if the last two people are returning or not, as their keepers might go back into the draft. And you'll get that done up for Friday.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 NuclearSledgehammers ----> NuclearChairshots til I can think up something better
iggymcfly Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 OK, I'm registered. For the record, I was against weekly roster updates until I got used to it last year, but in the long term, it's actually better. Otherwise, people just stop taking care of their team by the end of the year, and there's only about four teams really putting in the effort to have a chance at the championship.
Lightning Flik Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Ok, I've gotten everyone then who was here last year and the three new teams. And we've also go bravesfan sitting in the cold, bitter, lonely outside and would like to join the league. This would mean expanding the league by two teams. What say you guys?
Cartman Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Well I understand why you want to change to weekly rosters, but I think that takes away the manager's influence and replaces it with lots of luck that your lineup wuill stay intact everyday during that week. Not to mention it takes away from the everyday interest aspect as well. I like to switch out players due to certain pitching matchups or playing in certain parks against certain teams etc. Now also, you said there are only going to be 2 bench spots? That's pretty bad as well. No flexibility at all, just my opinion.

I like to switch out players due to certain pitching matchups or playing in certain parks against certain teams etc. You do the same thing here, except in advance. Its easy to matchup players day-by-day, but much more interesting when you do it weekly. Besides, this eliminates players exploiting the lack of maximums. Now also, you said there are only going to be 2 bench spots? That's pretty bad as well. No flexibility at all, just my opinion. I agree with this. 3-5 bench slots are more desireable.

What Al just said is the main reason why its currently as it is. However, again this can change depending on the discussion we have during the draft. Now also, you said there are only going to be 2 bench spots? That's pretty bad as well. No flexibility at all, just my opinion. I agree with this. 3-5 bench slots are more desireable. Fine... Again, if people believe this is the way it should be during discussion during the draft, I'll change this. Oh, and no one had any objections, I take it, its alright to add two more teams to the league? Need to know quickly. Also, draft will be this Saturday if that's ok with everyone. 6pm PST/9pm EST. Should take about 3-4 hours, like last years draft.
HarleyQuinn Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Draft sounds cool to me, I should be on by then. I also agree that 3-5 bench spots is more favorable, especially considering my luck in the NBA league(where I had 3-4 injured guys at once). If the two teams' owners are already known, then I say more the merrier.
Vern Gagne Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Is this an AIM Chat like last season.
Lightning Flik Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Is this an AIM Chat like last season. AIM Chat like last year, except I should have something in place so you know who's got whom via draft. At least that's the plan, we'll see how it happens.
Vern Gagne Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I won't have a problem with adding 2 more teams.
treble Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Draft may be a bit of a problem for me. I've got to work Sunday morning and I'll probably be hitting the sack a few hours before the thing would be over.
Lightning Flik Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Would anyone mind the draft being earlier than that then? I would like it done ASAP. As well, if one more person would step up, we'll add two more teams to the league.
Lightning Flik Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Would everyone mind having it on Friday at 6pm PST, 9PM EST? Any problems with that?
Cartman Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Yea saturday night is bad, thats Poker night... Friday I cant because I have to work this saturday morning at 6:30am. NEXT friday nigth would be good though.
Cartman Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 well someone else cannot do saturday night for the same reason i cant do tomorrow night.
Vern Gagne Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 18 guys, it's gonna be hard to get everyone together.
Lightning Flik Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 If we can't get everyone together we can always go the NBA draft route. If you guys feel up for it and the waiting...
Cartman Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I liked the NBA draft actually. With such a large league everyone should get their fair shot in the draft.
Der Kommissar Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I liked the NBA Draft as well. It gave me some time to figure out exactly who was still available before my pick came up.
