EWB Fantasy Baseball

[Cactus Drags]

I'm in the same boat as Niner, I'd like to give it a go if there's a spot free.

Board draft?

like we usually do football.

Also I always support a board draft. We have enough time to do it over the course of spring training so as long as registrations are all taken care of over the next week we're more than good. We should also take roster sizes to a vote too. And can we have a games started/played weekly limit? Too often people will pad stats by cycling through 3 or 4 back-end starters every week and 3 or 4 utility bats.

We'll put it up to a vote but I don't support limit on roster moves. You have to find the balance between starting and bench spots so people aren't able to park multiple #1 starters on their bench while rotating players off the waivers on days off but if someone is being active....why punish it?

Activity is one thing, but you can really make it so the better players win by putting a limit on games played in a full season. It forces you to decide whether you really want your backup 2B playing this game when your primary one is off. It makes you choose between different pitchers for starts, and really requires you to study matchups. It usually works better with Roto leagues though, so that is something people should consider when it comes to voting. H2H is much tougher to work out games started in because you force your way into the playoffs early by front-loading your starts, then coast for a few weeks and stockpile so you can basically do unlimited moves again in the playoffs. All in all, I hope people have experience with different kinds of leagues or have read up on them when the vote is held.

If there's any extra space, I would love to join.

[Your Mom]

I know nothing about the different kind of leagues. I like drafting on the board though

[wCwCreator]

Me want in?

[Guest mr. potato head]

We should just go for broke and try to get 30 managers

[gunnar hendershow]

My friend plays in a 30-team league with 40-man rosters. It's probably the most dedicated and enjoyable league around, full keepers and the need to read up on every prospect in baseball.

But yeah that won't work here.

Regarding the draft, I'm probably just going to run with automatic picks since I'm not on the board nearly enough to carry out a live draft. It's not completely out of the question, but I'll just err on the side of caution and say I wouldn't be available for a live draft.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I'd also be interested in joining.

[gunnar hendershow]

Midget, that's why we all love the board draft. 24 hour limit to get your pick in, or you can send a list to the GM by round. So you don't get stuck with one of those bad auto-drafts that leaves you with 4 good guys at one spot and 1 good one at another.

Example, it's round 4 and you're going to be picking 3rd. You have plans and are both worried about the ability to get on that day and want to keep the draft moving along at a quick pace. You send the GM the top 3 guys you want since even if 2 are taken the 3rd won't.

I could probably swing that. Now sahyder may get a taste of what it was like running a decent Pop Prom

Edit - Nevermind....

[Trey]

I usually play in a few random leagues, if you need an extra person to even things out I'm more then happy to join but if there isn't room it isn't a big deal.

[sahyder1]

Been a little busy the last week with work. I'll send out the invites later today when I get home

[Lowerdeck]

Want me to do it?

[Lowerdeck]

If you were in the league last year, you got an invite to rejoin.

If you didn't play last year and want to this year, reply below and I'll forward the information.

[Berober]

I'll be a newbie to this league, so yeah, I've replied below

[Cactus Drags]

[sahyder1]
