Fantasy Baseball Interest Thread
Promoted from the Journals. –Alex Post here if you want to participate in this year’s Geek League! Also post what categories you maybe want and stuff like that. As soon as I get a critical mass and some consensus on what we want as far as scoring and the like I can set it up. 43 Responses to “Fantasy Baseball Interest Thread”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

Interested.
FWIW: I’m FOR keeping innings and game limits.
I am interested.
interested
I’ll play again Doc. winning would be more fun. Extra catigory for if one of your players gets named in any scandals?
We should have a category for BS public apologies given. I’m also for keeping the games and innings limits, although I’m for raising the cap on innings for 1500 perhaps.
interested
I’ll play again
I am interested, I tried to sign up last year but missed the window.
I am for inning limits as well so long as they make sense for the # of pitching slots setup for the team.
We doing a head to head or rotisserie (or one of each)
Interested.
BTW, if we’re keeping inning limits, it doesn’t make sense to have IP as a category (the way it was last year).
I agree Jessica last year was a bit flawed because you had the limit and then IP as a category. With that said I don’t know you should be able to win the pitching categories running crappy pitchers out there. Perhaps a 1500 IP ceiling that everyone won’t hit my help.
Dep ran it last year, is he running it this yr? I’m in too.
I wonder if we’ll need 2 leagues considering how many people we usually have playing plus anyone new
I’m used to playing in fairly simple fantasy games but… I’d love to join in if you’ve got room.
I’ve never played before. Would my signing up bring the actual season on any sooner?
interested-
not sure what you peeps used alst year for cats and rules?
Mr 2 posts every 3-4 months will join if theres room
skyhappysal,
On offense, we’ve used runs, rbi, total bases, OPS, and steals (last year we changed it to net steals). On pitching, ERA and WHIP we’ve used both years; in ‘07 we had K/9 and total bases allowed, last year we had strikeouts and K/BB.
One proposal I’d like to suggest for this year (I can see legit arguments for both sides, but I’d be interested in what the Geek consensus is):
For the OF slots, should they all be kept as generic OF or should we have specific LF/CF/RF slots plus a generic OF or two?
Also keen to join if there’s room.
If Dep wants to be the commissioner certainly he can. If not I’ll run it.
I rather have generic outfield positions but that is just me
I’ll play again.
Generic corner OF positions, but a CF spot would be nice. Give a bonus to the guys who get Beltran/Sizemore.
If theres room im in.
Last Yr Standings. I plan to do better than what I did. My goal was merely top 6.
1. FMF
2. We Gangstas
3. Future
4. PHL’s PTBNLS
5. Blahblahblahblah
6. Dep’s Deps
7. Danny’s Team
8. ChicksTakeThe7Train
9. The Curse of Matsui
10. Albany Narwhals
11. Lunkberg Hogjowls
12. umpa-lumpas
13. ahhhh hamburgers
14. udamn
15. My Pet Eagle Ray
16. Zod’s Team
I think Yahoo has a way to make it so you can separate it into CF and COF instead of LF and RF, but I’m not sure what the league used last year. I wouldn’t want to use LF and RF separately, that seems asinine, but a CF is fine.
RE: Stat categories. No saves? Guess there isn’t a reason to draft relievers until the 15th round or so.
Relievers are only good if they have high K/BB ratios. It prevented a guy like Todd Jones from ever having value just because he got a bunch of saves while pitching horribly.
I liked the K/BB but hated that wild pitchers with high strikeout rates were still valued. I would much rather see the Total bases allowed cat comeback
I’d be interested… for money/would we need to pay?
I’m up for another season.
Please keep the IP cap, but eliminate IP as a category.
i’m in for another season too.
What do you guys think about OPS against as a pitching category?
I like that Jessica. I think that is far superior than K’s and total bases against
I’m in. I’ll let others decide about stats as I have no current opinion.
I’m down to be in again.
Doc can be commissioner this year, no big deal. i dont wanna ;)
Looks like we’re gonna need 2 leagues this yr, lots of interest. Maybe we can figure out how to do a playoff or something at the end of the season between the top 2 teams in each league or something.
I think 3 OFs is better than LF/RF/CF…but however the grp wants to roll….
i’m in, but only if it’s head-to-head. otherwise it’s boring.
No way we’re doing head-to-head in baseball, sorry Zod. I guess I’ll be commish.
Commissioner Doc!
Steroids are allowed in our leagues. ;)
count me in !!!!!im already roided up so i will be in good shape ,,,,,
I’m in again like Doug Flynn.
Well if the suggestion is two leagues maybe we should do a H-H and rotis league?
Suggestion:
Let’s create an autodraft “dummy” team, and have one of the Head Geeks manage it passively–that is, only replacing injured/benched/imprisoned players. Everyone who is ranked below the dummy at the ASB must attend the next home game, and cheer loudly for Luis Castillo. (Yes, he’ll still be here.) Everyone who finishes below the dummy at the end of the season must fight for their spot in next year’s Geek League–steel cage match? If the dummy wins, we all agree to give up and join beerleaguer for 2010.
8^P
I’d love to be in the league this year. I was in the inaugural MetsGeek league like three years ago back before I got too busy with school. I wanted to make my triumphant return last year too but the league was already full. Any space for an old timer in one of these new leagues?!
I dont know if it would be funny or sad if the dummy happens to win lol.
