What is baseball

Which is to say, why not

[cshea]

I would probably be interested.

[Titoschew]

I'm interested.

[Nomar813]

I'm interested, particularly if I can draft an ocelot.

[kenneycb]

Sure why not. I need something to keep me entertained during work. Work certainly doesn't do it.

[Blacken]

No way. I have transcended baseball.

(Actually I just always forget to do fantasy baseball things)

[Jed Zeppelin]

I'm game. I always miss the boat on these things.

I'm a dork, therefore I'm game

[FelixMantilla]

How about doing it as an auction league?

[The Napkin]

meh

[Jed Zeppelin]

I second that meh. I've never done an auction and would be totally lost even more than I usually am in baseball drafts.

[kenneycb]

Not to mention I like the idea of a slow pick better.

[FelixMantilla]

Ah, you're a bunch of nancies.

Edited by FelixMantilla, 29 February 2012 - 09:54 PM.

[Nomar813]

Mancies.

[kenneycb]

Although I would love to see Jed bid 75 percent of his budget on Jed Lowrie with his first pick.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Then I would use the rest of my money to get Nick Punto, Mike Aviles, and Marco Scutaro so I could then have the pleasure of cutting them.

Why do you English majors always talk about cutting things?

[Jed Zeppelin]

Why do you English majors always talk about cutting things?

Because the world breaks everyone, and we like to think we're getting ahead of the game.

[The Napkin]

Okay, sounds like there's general interest.
12 team H2H yahoo league okay? Normal 5x5?

Napkin
PSK
cshea
Titoschew
Nomar813
kenneycb
Jed Zepplin
BoSoxFink

Blacken?
Felix?

[The Napkin]

Or we can do an AL only if we're just the 8?

[TheRealness]

Fuck it, I could use a 6th team.

I have a FBB problem.

[TheRealness]

Speaking of, anybody interested in a $20 pay league? Pretty easy H2H with non-standard scoring.

EDIT: Looks like I may only have 1 or 2 spots left.

[Titoschew]

I enjoy H2H, so that works for me.

[PedroSpecialK]

Napkin I DEMAND that WAR be one of the categories, and I will not even consider playing if plebian metrics like "batting average" or "RBI" are used. Hmph and thank you.

5x5 H2H sounds good to me

[Haunted]

I'd like to do it, but it depends on when the draft is. I'll be completely unavailable beginning Saturday for a couple of weeks...

[The Napkin]

It's a slow draft so was thinking start maybe Monday? Figure do the standard 3 hour windows 9ish to 5ish during the week and whenever people can get to it on weekends. We're all online often enough that I don't think it'll be a problem to get through a draft before the season starts. Don't think we'll need to be all that anal about the 3 hour windows either frankly.

[The Napkin]

And if all 3 of Blacken, Felix, and Haunted are in there's our 12. I'll set up the league this afternoon at some point.

[The Napkin]

Everyone okay with:
C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, Util, Util
SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, P
BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
DL

[PedroSpecialK]

Aye

23 rounds x 12 teams = 276 picks, ~3 hours a pick = 828 hours = 34.5 days max. No problem on timeline.

Nvm

Edited by PBDWake, 01 March 2012 - 01:42 PM.

[kenneycb]

Shouldn't the league name invoke some baseball player's mustache? Sal Fasano's was a personal favorite of mine.

[PBDWake]

I like the Axe, FWIW

[Haunted]

Alas, don't think I can even commit to that.

For the record, my team name this year is Alomar'sUnusedCondom.

[FelixMantilla]

IN!

[The Napkin]

So we're at 10 with Blacken a maybe. Anyone else?

[FelixMantilla]

The league would not be complete without Sliding.

[Terras]

I'd be in for clowning you fools at a fantasy sport I'm actually decent at.

[The Napkin]

Let's do this Match Game style:

That's great! Who wants to start the fantasy _______ thread?

[PedroSpecialK]

I'd be in for clowning you fools at a fantasy sport I'm actually decent at.

Pretty big talk there, Tom Terras.

[mikeford]

I'll do it if yous need a 12th.

[The Napkin]

groovy, sounds like we're at 12 with Blacken and mikeford as a possible replacement. I'm not sure if Blacken's message indicated interest or not but figure I'd give him the chance if that's okay mikeford?

[The Napkin]

okay, Blacken's out, mikeford's in to round out the 12.
