The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball

It's about time we "sponsored" a league.  We are mostly calc-nerds here, so, it should be fun and chellenging.  Most teams die off towards the middle, but hopefully it won't since I'll post weekly updates here. Below the fold are the details.

Star-divide

This is a Yahoo Free League:

League ID#: 182291

Stat Categories: BB, TB, OBP, SLG, XBH, NSB, APP, OUT, HR, BB, K, TB  

Just some notes.  

Draft date is the last Sunday night at 8:15.  Should be doable for most people.

Put it at 20 teams, we will likely do less, but we'll see how many people want in.  

It will be Head-to-Head to hopefully keep activity up.

We have one player for each fielding position (and DH) and 3 starters, 3 relievers and 2 mixed.

Stat categories were chosen based on performance and not result.  Thus, no categories that have anything to do with scoring runs.

For Hitters:
Walks
Total Bases
OBP
SLG
Extra Base Hits
Net Stolen Bases

For Pitchers:
Appearances
Outs
Homeruns
Walks
Strikeouts
Total Bases Against

These stats are all negotiable (here) but will be set in stone the day before the draft (obviously).  Should be fun and different.

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
I'd love to join, but the 23rd is Easter Sunday and a 8:15 draft may be a little tough.

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
Ah, didn't realize this, me being Jewish and all.  If it is an issue, other people please let me know.  It is the last day you can draft.

You can always pre rank your players and let the computer draft for you if you can't get there.

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
We got 12 pretty quickly.  We are set for 20 max, is everyone ok with 20 teams or should I restrict it to 14 or 16?

Also, are we good with the stats?

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
I dropped the number of teams down to 16.  We have 13 right now, so, if you want in, there are still 3 more spaces.  You can brag to all your friends that you beat Bakestar of The Good Phight!

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
Is the head to head part of the league up for debate or is it set in stone?

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
Nothing is set in stone as long as you have a good reason to change it and most people agree.

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
I'll stay in regardless, but I'm not a big fan of the head-to-head format.  

Put me down as a vote for roto scoring.

Re: The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball
Ok, changing it to a points league.  Right now in the process of figuring out the points.  We have 13 people, which leaves 3 spots open.  Feel free to join if you haven't yet.
