It is time to start preparing for Fantasy Baseball 2005. The league we had last year was a lot of fun and we will continue to have it! I hope more people will get involved in Fantasy Baseball here and maybe the Links will have a few leagues.
For the managers that were in my league last year: Remember most of us agreed on a 3 man keeper league. 1 hitter, 1 pitcher and whoever else you choose. I have last years rosters of the people that will be in the league this year in case you forgot who you had. I will have the site going by tomorrow afternoon and will post more info HERE!
I will do everything in my power to have the draft as close to opening day as possible, in case A-Rod gets his nuts chopped off by Trot Nixon :D etc...
The managers that will be returning (a few are open for newbies) are: Hawks, Miller Lite Drinkers, Billy's Barracuda's, No Homers Club, Harvey's Headbangers, Isotopes, BloomCounty Boingers, Northside Mullets. If someone doesn't join for whatever reason, then we will have a new team take their place, if you were in the league last year and your name was not listed, it means you didn't do shit except draft players and then sat all year doing nothing.
Anyway, the more leagues from here the better.
If you are in a different league, let us all know how you are doing! :thumb:

Hey bro BREW CREW, you can count me in again! Miller Lite Drinkers will be in full effect for some crazed, drunken, ball bashin, steroid slammin season. I am having trouble remembering my whole lineup from last year...and deciding on my "keepers" .......I think Tejada, Boone, Derek Lee, B. Giles might be my thoughts for the keepers...and Benitez, Dotel are the only pitchers I can remember.

Can you email my pithers BREW so I can decide? If new players join the league this year we have to find a way to display a DO NOT DRAFT list.

billy007
02.17.05, 01:39 PM
Instead of keeping our own players, can we keep three players someone else didnt' want?!?
I can't even remember who was on my final roster anyway!

Wray
02.17.05, 02:41 PM
I can't even remember who was on my final roster anyway!

Same here. All I remember is that I had Kevin Brown, and I don't want to keep him! :yell:

BREW CREW
02.17.05, 03:56 PM
I think we all agreed if we do not want to keep 3, we could keep up to 3 or none...then you could draft from the "pot", of course, just as long as it is not someones keeper. BUT, if you keep 3 it must be 1 hitter and 1 pitcher and then anybody else. It's all coming back to me now ;)
AND one rule: if you keep someone from your roster of last year, you must pick them first in the draft.

Thanks Brew...ok, so who are the top 4 or 5 starting pitchers this year?

I might say:
The Unit

Looking for thoughts as I prepare for my draft...

Who all played last year, BREW? So far I think it's just me, you and billy that have joined...

BREW CREW
02.18.05, 08:27 PM
Who all played last year, BREW? So far I think it's just me, you and billy that have joined...My first post shows the returning managers team names, as far as user names that they are/were here before the hack, I do not know all of them. I do have e-mail adresses of 2 of the managers that I have not seen here in a while, which I will be e-mailing soon.
It is still early and I have had a few P.M.'s of new managers that want in. I do have the rosters of everyone that were active managers, so I do not have yours, sorry :( . BUT, you can pick from the players that are not kept.
A couple of names that pop in my head are: Hellohawk, Miah, Billy, You, Shut up and Play yer Guitar, the other 2 buddies of mine that are fantasy baseball freaks, and the new guys, so far it looks like their will be 2 or 3 new managers. But, I would think it is cool if someone else starts a league just like ours and we could trash talk and compare notes etc.... :)

Hi guys... long time no see. Actually I've browsed a bit but my life has been quite busy this past 8 months I haven't posted much. I would love to come back for this year and defend my title! (I think I won anyway).

That's right, Hellowhawk did win last year in the playoffs! I know that he frequents the jamtothis.com forums. It might be a good idea to post an "ad" there for him and any others we may want. I CAN do it, but they may not respond to my "name" like they would to "Brew Crew". But if you want me too, I'll do it.

OLO
03.08.05, 02:03 PM
I will win.

I am brilliant!!

After I kick some ass in this fantasy league the Mariners will more than likely hire me as a front office guy. I will recieve all kinds of cool perks such as box seats, limo to and from the games, sexy personal assistants, a bullhorn to yell with, a walkie talkie to the bullpen and free hats.

03.12.05, 07:00 AM
OK, Hellohawk is in, there are 2 spots that should be filled by Monday. One guy wants in, but is hesitating because he doesn't know if he can be at the live draft....Monday is my deadline for him.
I have decided not to have keepers THIS year, but I plan on doing the keeper thing next year, so if you change your strategy a little due to this change, I gave you plenty of time to do it.
Miah: the REAL Isotopes wants his name back...haha!
FYI: the guys that I have been in baseball fantasy leagues with for a looong time are: the REAL Isotopes and the Southside hitmen. My brother "Miller Lite Drinkers is Shut up and play yer guitar here. All are very good fantasy managers and they play to win...let's make this league a bitch to win and have fun doing so! I am Harvey's Headbangers...watch OUT and stay out of my way!

03.16.05, 05:03 PM
OK, since I missed the draft last year (and hopefully won't miss it this year), how does it work? How do you know who has picked whom, and when it's your turn to pick, how much time you have to make a pick, etc.?

BREW CREW
03.17.05, 06:40 AM
since I missed the draft last year (and hopefully won't miss it this year), how does it work?
The draft order is randomly set a few minutes before draft time...be about 10 minutes early to see the order. Round 1 is 1-12, Round 2 is 12-1 and so on. Queue (sp?) your players so you have a few to pick from. It is real easy to see who you have drafted by position: It is all broken down by position and players you've drafted.

how much time you have to make a pick 2 minutes...but usually no one needs that much time, the live draft usually takes no more than 45 minutes to an hour.


How do you know who has picked whom, and when it's your turn to pick

There are 2 ways to see players that are available: your pre-ranked players and all players by position (yahoo rankings). If the player is drafted, that players name will not be highlighted, and will not show up on your queue list. It sucks when a player is on your queue list just before your turn to pick and then he disappears because that damn guy in front of you took him:irked: .

Scotty
03.18.05, 04:31 AM
Still have 3 more spots open in my Yahoo league. Any of you guys want in at the last-minute?

I have had quite a few other linkers ask about fantasy baseball that are not in my league. I think it would be cool to have 2 leagues or more if THAT many people want to play. Scotty5150 has a league, I don't know if it is full though. Someone step up and create another league and we can all brag about our teams/leagues etc....

Scotty
03.25.05, 04:47 AM
My league was drafted last week, unfortunately. I was hoping to get some more of you Linkers in there, but only one expressed interest in joining before the draft. I'd be interested in a second league if enough folks were interested.

OLO, I'm playing against ya, and you haven't changed your players from off the bench yet, I know you are new to this...just want to let you know you can sit people on their day off with a new position player. Tomorrow, it's my debut of Tadaahichoou Iguchi of the White Sox! crossing my fingers it was a good pick!!

Pasadena Murdock

Looking to make some moves but hate to let someone go that is injured.

BREW CREW
04.11.05, 04:31 PM
You can put folks on the disabled list?Yep! You have 2 slots for them. After you put a player on your DL, you can pick up any free agent...THEN when you play your guy that was on the DL, you have to drop any player on your roster. To put a guy on the DL, he must have the DL tag next to his name. You didn't know this?

billy007
04.11.05, 05:43 PM
Nope, and I was carrying Juan Gone and Wade Miller on my bench all year so far, too!

BREW CREW

Nope, and I was carrying Juan Gone and Wade Miller on my bench all year so far, too!I hope you didn't have anyone last year on the DL and didn't know. I feel bad....well, not really, but still!
At least it is still early!

Nah, I think the four or five times I actually checked in on my team last year, if there was anyone "DL" I just cut 'em!

BREW CREW
04.11.05, 06:19 PM
Sure billy...you probably made the least moves and ended up one of the best teams of the seasons for stats. Try again....:D
I have a feeling that this year is going to be hard to win the darn thing....a great draft from all, and some real close head to head match ups in week one. If everyone can stay on the ball, this will be a tough league.

Pretty cool, BREW, my Radke vs. you Robertson in tonight's Twins-Tigers game!

BREW CREW
04.14.05, 03:44 PM
Yeah it is cool since we are playing each other. At least if Radke gets the W, I have a chance for Nathan to get me a save. Should be a good game (ours anyway):thumb:

billy007
05.08.05, 06:55 PM
How's everybody doing with their teams out there? I was going to come here and offer up Phil Nevin for trade as he seems to have decent stats but I don't have a lot of opportunities for him to be off the bench, but now he's having back spasms so I don't know if anyone would take a chance on him. One of my pitchers has one more piss-ass start before he's on the waiver wire though...

My team coughed up a healthy score over the past two days and I'm a little irritated!

Miller Lite Drinkers here.......can't believe my team is clicking on all cyliders (well, maybe not saves)

Derek Lee and Brian Roberts are saviors, Halladay is BACK, and Giles is finally on a hot streak....now I just need Aramis to get in a groove!!

If Brett Boone keeps slumping (although he went 2-4 tonight) he might be trade bait for a closer if anyone is interested. I've had him for 2 years and he just pisses me off for some reason....maybe the dyed blonde hair??? and the bat fling!!! what a cock

Just checked the overall leaderboards, and I have 10 more wins than the percentage leader...pussies in that league only score 6 categories I think...We have a fun league and I hope everyone stays alert with transactions/improvements.

I think my players are unconscious because of all the beer bongs I give them at the tailgate parties....MILLER LITE IS IN THEIR VEINS.....

good luck all

2 weeks to go until playoff time!!! 5th place thru 8th place are battling for the 6th or better spot to get in to the playoffs. Should be an interesting couple of weeks. Some things to note: Billy and Olo are playing each other and OLO's team has been pretty solid lately, so watch out Billy! I am playing TenaciousD and we are neck and neck as far as our record and we have a pretty similar team.
OLO: you still have a chance if Billy lays off and lets you beat him up real bad.:D
Tenacious: good luck

billy007
08.23.05, 05:22 PM
Nah, if OLO wants it, he's going to have to take it!

Gonna be a tough two weeks - gotta make the cut, then if I do gonna have to deal with some teams that I couldn't seem to beat earlier this year. But that's all immaterial if I don't get it done the next two weeks.

WOw, NoHomers and I officially tied for first this season!! but since I won this weeks matchup 11-1, I pulled out 1st place for the tourney.....probably luck though, I won the WHIP category by 1 hundreth of a point (a freakin pubic hair)!!! Good luck to all in the tourney, and may I end up with the crown like I deserve!! haha... led all but 1 lousy week during the seasonIt's amazing how close the stats get after a week of baseball....I lost the WHIP category by .01! For two teams to tie at the end of the year is crazy.
Shit, Billy didn't make the friggen playoffs by a HALF a game. I do believe this is the first year that Miah, Hellohawk and I are not fighting for the championship along with Billy.:irked:
Good luck playing with the big boys little bro!:D

Actually Brew.... I am the "No Homers" team. I can't believe we finished tied either. "Shut up....." did deserve the 1st seed for how many weeks he led. However, I WILL take comfort in the fact that I do believe I beat him head-to-head both times this season!

Hope everyone has fun in the playoffs!

I know Miah, I was referring to billy not competing with us 3 again. You made a hell of a comeback dude!

Looks as if I've been eliminated altogether as it doesn't show me matched up, even though it shows other non-playoff teams matched up...

Anybody need Sosa for their playoff roster? :D

"Slammin' Sammy" of course! He's gonna go on a home-run tear any day now (after he gets off the DL, of course...)

I'm a tad scared of playing Reinging Chumps this week if he gets past this round. He's got Carpenter going twice among others. His lineup is tough right now as well!

Carpenter has been saving me; making up for all those blown saves and huge ERA from stupid Mesa.

The final 4 is set!!! I don't think I have enough offense to repeat. Teixeira makes me nervous.

Well.... I BARELY got past the Reigning Champs. That was CLOSE! My complete game and shutout by Pedro (I believe) is what allowed me to get through. Sometimes those wildcard catagories can help, sometimes hurt.

Anyway, good luck MLD, I'm not going to make it easy on you (even though my team seems to be ;) ). I may be over-managing just like a guy I'm not to fond of - Tony Larussa. I sit guys and they have a great game. :(

DON'T FORGET --- This last round is TWO weeks..... not the normal 1.

Well, I led the first week..now I'm pissing it away!!! NoHOmers guys are getting hot at the right time, while mine are taking a huge crap. All I can hope for is a complete game shutout from Willis or Oswalt to even have a chance....so Congrats in advance NoHomers, you won the marathon!

Not necessarily bro. You two are close in 3 categories and if you win the categories that he is winning, then he loses that point and you gain a point. It could very well end up in a tie or a 1 point game either way. Lot's of assumptions and luck.
Good luck to ya both. It was a long season, and a very fun time battling just for a playoff spot.

Another great season in the books?

Let me know for next year if we need another player. I have someone who actually pays attention and will fill in this league nicely.

On to the playoffs! I'm cheering for Houston. Be good to see Bags and Biggio get a ring.

Weird thing for me was my inability to beat the Tenacious Sluggers - lost to 'em three time! 10-26! Also lost to Miller Lite Drinkers (5-20) both times I faced them, but they did finish a little higher in the standings than me, so I don't feel as nonplussed about that. Oh well - already have my first bit of strategy in mind for next year - NO SAMMY!
