Seeing who is interested...Hopefully we can start the draft mid Feb so we aren't so rushed. I will send out PM's to previous owners. If you would like to join but weren't part of it last year, drop a line here and I will add you to the waiting list.

If you are on the fence, please put in your name anyway. Draft time is the best time of the year!!

Wonder which will happen first the Bryce Harper signing or the start of our draft.

Once yahoo allows for baseball signups, I will open up the league. Registration is still closed.

Waiting List:


Please confirm that you are in the league on this page.

First spots go to last year's owners.

Waiting list will be made for all others.

Once everyone is confirmed I will set up a draft order.

Lets do this!!!!

Draft Format

Opening Day is March 28



Hopefully we can do a soft start before then.

The draft will take place in this thread once the league has been set up. It is a snake draft.

The first pick each morning must be made by 10 am eastern time. Then the four hour clock will start for the next pick. Also, lets make the cutoff 10 pm eastern at night so if the final pick is made at 8 pm, the next person has until 10 am eastern time to make his pick. If most people in this league live in the western time zone or central time zone we could adjust this

On weekends the first pick must be made by 10 am eastern, we'll *go with a standard 4 hours with a 10 pm eastern time cut off.

If there are problems in that you know your pick is coming up but you won't be online, submit a list either to myself or to a proxy drafter for you. Otherwise, you will get the next player on Yahoo's list. Maybe pick someone who is on the opposite end of the draft from you so that you likely won't be grabbing from the same pool of players anyways.

Opening Day is March 28. If the draft is not complete by March 28 at noon, we will have a quick live draft via AIM (or a program people actually use) to complete the draft on Saturday April 4 at 7pm . Anyone who won't be able to make that will need to submit a list to me, a proxy, or have a proxy in chat (who is not in the league) to finish out their team.

If you miss more than 2 picks in the draft (i.e. time limit expired so a Yahoo rankings pick), particularly in the first 10 rounds, then you can be replaced as manager.

I hate to lay down some of these rules but we're going to be drafting over 250 players so we need to get it done in a timely fashion.

IF YOU CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THIS SCHEDULE, DO NOT JOIN.

I am interested. Please put me on the waiting list.

[CleBrownsfan]

Hard to think of baseball when it's -30 (wind chill) but yes, I am in!

[claphamsa]

I am in, but ill have to have a co-manager help me draft while im in Ecuador.

[MizzouRah]

IN

[cmgdodgers]

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Awesome, I was just going to message him!

[claphamsa]

dont forget season starts earlier this year due to the Japan series!

[claphamsa]

where we at here?

[Comey]

Just a heads up...I'm not sure I'll be able to do it this year. If someone is on the wait list and can take my spot, you should do that. I thought I would be able, but it's looking more and more doubtful.

[cubboyroy1826]

Sure why the heck not. This will be my only league this year which might be a good thing.

[samifan24]

I’m back

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

If comey stays in, we are up to 9. I can ask Arthur from last year if he wants to do it. And maybe we just do ten teams this year. Unless people can grab a couple of others. I will set up the yahoo league

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Yahoo League is setup. If you didn't get an invite, let me know.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Ramazavail sent me a pm that he is dropping out and that he is using slack for his other league. I have become such a luddite, I don't even know how to use slack. Should we become slackphiles?

[MizzouRah]

We don't do keepers correct?

[Lathum]

I'll join if you will have me.


Is this a money league?

well don't make this is slack league and I'm not in it. lol

All I wanted is to participate, trash talk and draft via slack because thats what all my other leagues do.

[Bowiesinspace]

Sorry for the delay. I'm alive!

nor have I

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Sent you guys the invites by pm

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Comey is dropping out but i do appreciate him letting me know ahead of time.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

I think my friend Arthur is going to do it again so that gets us up to 11. We still need one more to get this thing going

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

We are also still in really good shape. Opening day is still over a month away. If we can get one more soon then we will be right on pace to finish on time.

[Lathum]

Is this a keeper league? I joined on Yahoo and it told me to set my keepers.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Not a keeper league. Sorry about that. I will change the rogue setting.

[Comey]

If you can't find a 12th by the end of this weekend, and want to get rolling, I'll rejoin. I just don't know about my ability to give the league my full attention throughout the year; a lot of changes are coming in my life (good changes).

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Appreciate the offer! No worries, man. Glad to hear things are going well.

[spleen1015]

How does head to head work in this league? I thought maybe it was like fantasy football, but I don't see the point values anywhere.

It has been a few years since I played fantasy baseball.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

head to head by category....each category counts as one win.

So in any given week you can maybe win 14-0 or lose 12-2. There are ties as well. Like when both teams get 0 stolen bases lol.


There is an innings pitched requirement. We lowered it . I forgot what the number is but if you don't hit the required iP for the week you lose all the pitching categories. This is to prevent people just from loading up on closers to get saves whip and era.

Definitely a bit of strategy. Some people will punt saves and stolen bases because they are isolated categories, but others will load up on it thinking if they can dominate those two categories ,then if they just split the rest then they win the week.

top 6 teams make the playoffs.

[spleen1015]

Thanks.

[CleBrownsfan]

Let's get this thing going! LWSFS could you put a link to out yahoo page in this thread? I didn't see an invite via PM

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

[claphamsa]

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

I am waiting for confirmation, but Arthur's son might join. He will let us know by tomorrow. I will set up the draft order now
