Fantasy Baseball 2015

[Bastiat's The Law]

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.

[malkusm]

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.

[Bastiat's The Law]

We're up to 14 teams guys!

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.

I second this. Later in the evening would be better. I'm always busy mid day on weekends. Could we move it back a bit?

[Bastiat's The Law]

By evening you guys thinking 6:00 or 7:00pm? (central time)

[malkusm]

^ Yeah either would be fine by me.

[Massachusetts]

Either is fine.

[Bastiat's The Law]

Still have a couple openings. Draft is tomorrow!

[Bastiat's The Law]

Draft day has arrived!

[thoughtomator]

when's fantasy football starting up again?

[Bastiat's The Law]

I changed the time of the Live Draft to 6:00pm (central)

[Bastiat's The Law]

You going to get in on this league thoughtomator? Football doesn't start for a long while. Baseball is a nice way to pass the time.

[thoughtomator]

Nah, I have no interest in baseball, all it does is remind me of how the steroids scandal killed my childhood illusions.

[Bastiat's The Law]

Baseball has done a decent job of cleaning up their sport. Home runs are way down and power is a premium commodity now.

[Crashland]

Aw man, I won't be available if it's at 7 eastern. Can't really get out of a Passover seder...

Do your predraft ranking so you get the guys you want. Fill up that queue.

Will do.

I don't really know anything about fantasy sports but I do plan on staying active.

Looks like the league is full now

Yup all full now. The draft looms!

[Bastiat's The Law]

The draft lobby should be open now guys! 30 mins till the official start.

[Bastiat's The Law]

T-minus 5 minutes.

[malkusm]

I'm off to a reasonably good start. Time will tell if my trade was a good idea. So that I can revisit in September:
Received Robinson Cano + Matt Garza
Gave Jose Abreu

Big trade you pulled there.

I had another capable 2B in Wong, and you had another capable 1B in Votto, so our team needs matched up nicely.
