Fantasy Baseball 2015

[Bastiat's The Law]

I'll see if my son wants to do it.

The more the merrier!

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

We're up to 6 teams now guys!

 

[Crashland]

I joined. I have never done any fantasy sports but I think maybe it will be fun.

8 now. Looking good. Bump for more participants.

 

[Rudeman]

I joined, haven't played fantasy baseball for a few years so I'll probably suck.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

We're half way there!

Brewers. Get as many Brewers as possible.

I can only think of one draftable Brewer.

Carlos Gomez, Ryan Braun, Khris Davis, Aramis Ramirez. Jean Segura and Adam Lind are viable draft targets in a 20 team league, as well. Even one without a CI/MI/U spot.

There's a lot of risk there.

Bump, looks like we have 11 teams. We might not make it to 20 but an even number would be good. 14 is a deep enough league especially with the number of bench spots.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

If we end up with an odd number of teams we can always go roto rather than boot someone.

I won't ever play or commish another roto league again. I'm a huge baseball fan and the roto format bored me! I can only wonder what the casual fantasy player thinks; well, I actually know what they think through their behavior in roto leagues; they quit in drove. By June a lot of roto leagues are D.O.A.

Most leagues are dead by June unless it's a league filled with dedicated players. This stands for roto and H2H formats.

Roto formats reward patience, planning, and skill over the course of a season. H2H leads to far too much variance throughout the season, and especially so in the fantasy playoffs. Roto is also much closer to the original version of fantasy baseball.

Maybe, but it's a heck of lot less fun.

Any chance we can move the draft from Saturday? I know it's late in the game but I missed the draft last year and some unexpected things have come up for me that day.

Hmm, that would be tough. We have to draft before Sunday for sure.

Later in the day Saturday (evening) would be better than the current midday time for me as well.

I just loathe autodraft, and this would be the only league I wouldn't be able to draft in two years running. Though obviously if other owners have a problem with it, don't move it simply to accomodate me.
