bosshogg23 · 02-17-2005, 12:29 PM

Yahoo opened their fantasy baseball today!

sterlingice · 02-17-2005, 02:31 PM

Woohoo! 3 Cheers for free baseball! Anyone starting an FOFC League?

SI

Lathum · 02-17-2005, 02:54 PM

the draft times are very strange?

bosshogg23 · 02-17-2005, 03:06 PM

The times were available in 15 minute increments when I was looking.

Make sure you arent on the Fantasy Baseball PLUS menu. Those only have a couple times per day maximum.

I was on whatever the free site is, but the latest draft time is 11:45 AM central time.

bosshogg23 · 02-17-2005, 03:24 PM

Looks like several days, Sunday's in paticular, are filling up fast. Wonder if they will open up more drafts or make people autopick.....

sterlingice · 02-17-2005, 03:30 PM

I'm having problems in Firefox- it won't give me the calendar so I have to us piece-o-crap, I mean IE.

SI

henry296 · 02-17-2005, 04:10 PM

I am interested, but let's try to keep the leagues to a manageable size. Last year we had 19 people in the league. If we need multiple leagues, then so be it.

The only thoughts I had would be since it is 14 teams mabye add a few more pitchers and Outfielders to the mix.

korme · 02-17-2005, 05:09 PM

The Barry Larkins are in

sterlingice · 02-17-2005, 05:12 PM

Rules look pretty standard so no crazy things going on. I kindof prefer head-to-head as opposed to roto but that's how you made it. I don't suppose you can put in a minimum innings. It gets a little boring when half the people in your league play with that strategy (the name escapes me) where you draft 2 elite pitchers, a couple of elite closers, and that's it so you mop up in WHIP, ERA, and SVs.

SI

TLK · 02-17-2005, 05:13 PM

I was thinking about doing the head-to-head, but didn't know how it would go over. It can still be changed...

Lathum · 02-17-2005, 05:23 PM

I enjoy head to head as well and the reason is this. If your team isn't to good and you are buried halfway through the season in Roto style it becomes really boring, where as in head to head you can still make a late charge or at the very least play spoiler. Just my dime.

ISiddiqui · 02-17-2005, 05:34 PM

Also, if you are in a head to head league and your team suck, you can have some fun, having a distinct goal every week (knock off the guy against you).

TLK · 02-17-2005, 05:50 PM

Changed to head-to-head....

sterlingice · 02-17-2005, 05:52 PM

Toddiec · 02-17-2005, 06:37 PM

I'm in! I don't think my Royals are going to make a run this year, so this will give me an excellent reason to keep up with the MLB!

Sharpieman · 02-17-2005, 09:20 PM

An article on who is allowed to have fantasy baseball according to MLB.

"We are especially pleased that every fantasy game licensee from last year, with only one exception, will be part of the 2005 fantasy game licensing program"

Looks like everyone was worried for no reason(at least this time).

Bump as a reminder that the baseball draft is this weekend. If you can't make it, give up your spot so someone else can play.

TLK · 03-24-2005, 02:55 PM

I forgot this was Easter weekend, when I set the draft time. I'm going to set a list, but hopefully I can still make it. It'll be a nice break from all the family I'll have to see this weekend...
