Dusty Baker/Joe Morgan BONANZA League!!!!
I would only join a league that supports productive outs. Batters producing GIDP to be rewarded for “putting the ball in play” instead of striking out. Bunters, base stealers with lots of attempts at a 60% success rate, high average guys who don’t walk. Saves would be HUGE. Exactly fifty.

BONANZA!
Bonanza is an American Western series that ran on NBC from September 12, 1959 to January 16, 1973. Lasting 14 seasons, it is among the longest running Western television series (second behind Gunsmoke) and continues to air in syndication, starring Pernell Roberts, Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker, and Michael Landon.
If my swarminess doesn’t justify entry into a casual league, keep in mind I’m a gay Jewish black disabled war veteran and failing to let me in is grounds for a lawsuit.

BONANZA!!!! It's like Family Ties meets Seinfeld...
How the hell am I gonna compete with a gay Jewish black war veteran?? Luckily he’s dismissed on the grounds that he’s got 81 words… so throw retarded into his repertoire of non-qualifications. Look, bottom line is you need some international flair in this competition. Look no further, home slice.
The joke however
is 49 words. Don’t gotta hate on the way I roll.

I won’t take it seriously, but I will talk loads of unnecessary and unearned trash. I will also play favorites with Phillies and therefore start Ross Gload at 1B every week (assuming I don’t draft the big fella), making me easy prey.

I’m pretty literate, so I can help create the most cringe-worthy league name. Plus, I like advanced stats, but I’m terrible at using them, so I’ll be over-confident and under-successful every week — that’s entertainment!
Also, since I’m moving away from Philly, this could be vicarious enjoyment to the extreme.

1. I will draft lots of toolsy players
2. Strikeouts matter
3. I am flush with genius

Despite periods of prolonged inactivity, I’m old-school all the way.

There’s no denying the need for grit and veteran leadership. My Ecksteinian-levels of both are exactly what the league needs to compete.
Also, hustle.

I’m a toolsy poster with no real fantasy baseball experience but a lot of raw analytical skills and upside. I leave it all on the (virtual) field every week. And it’s a contract year, so you know I’ll perform.

I took a Sports Finance class where we did a Fantasy Baseball draft based on regression and I won…Played fantasy baseball the past few years usually finish well. I want to dominate, or finish last… Rollins and Polanco on…want to see a lot this year….

I’ve never done fantasy baseball before, but this should be the year. Help me take my ability to annoy my girlfriend by talking about sports all the time to the next level! Also, I’m probably good for at least three hilariously dumb trades.

on a serious note, it’s a really long season (as we all know) and fantasy baseball takes A LOT of active management to be competitive… and there’s nothing worse than being a month into the season and only 4 out of 12 teams are paying attention anymore.. really takes all the fun out of it. i’m not discounting people that have never done fantasy before, but the league should consist of people that will pay attention and not half-ass it.
To follow on from my joke entry, I do have experience doing fantasy football and basketball, I’ve just never done a fantasy baseball league before because there wasn’t interest in it among my real-life friends.
"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there

I’m in Orlando. There’s a basketball team locally. There’s not baseball since the Twins left Tinker Field in 1990 (Lake Buena Vista doesn’t count – that’s 45 miles away).
"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there

100% agreed, and that’s why I’m thinking I have to take a pass on the TGP league — I’m at a point of saturation with the leagues I’ve committed to over the years. It’s not fair to everyone else if I half-ass it, and I don’t think I have the time to put in the full effort.
Plus, I don’t think I could come up with as creative of an entry as any of the above. Gay Jewish black disabled war veteran? You had me at hello.

It drives me crazy on other sites playing with uninterested people who sign up just to sign up and then quit halfway through the season. So Honestly, picking me could keep me sane enough to not massacre all of my stuffed animal friends. Think of the stuffed animals, man.

I have played yahoo’s H2H league the last 4 years and finished 2nd twice, third once, and first once in 12 team leagues. Never go inactive, and we play with 27+ categories (including Holds and WHIP), so it takes a lot more than homeruns and ERA to win.
Holds?
Really, there’s a fantasy league that includes holds?

see, now this is the stuff that scares me about getting involved.

when you’re commish is a math major, every stat is involved. the first year we played, he kept every single stat option. Holds, GIDP, WHIP, etc. It was crazy, but made for a much better league, b/c you couldn’t just draft 3-4 tool players and call it a day

When your commish is a math major you think he’d know what is relevant and what isn’t – what is a good evaluation of a players performance and what isn’t.
Including holds as relevance should disqualify a league from consideration

What about the Dusty Baker League? Sort of the ironic, anti-stat league.
I was going to find the most Omar Moreno guy i could, and go with it.

That’s just it. In a 12 team league, you get a favorable draft position and lock up a few home run hitters and a few strong pitchers and you have a playoff spot locked up. This forces people to address needs with individuals or small groups, rather than with every player on their team. There is a lot more strategy involved in the later rounds to make sure you don’t lose what some people would consider bullshit categories. Everyone knows the format going into the league, so it makes draft day that much more interesting. Typically, I avoid the rush on closers and then draft a few guys to get me holds in the last 2 rounds, allowing me to focus on other stats.
Besides, it’s a fantasy league and his fantasy is clearly for more people to recognize the hold as a legitimate stat.
Also, well played on the “Your vs you’re”

This forces people to think about idiotic made up stats by agents to make middle relievers get unconscionable contracts.
Use OBP, Use UZR and factor in defense if you want (Yeah I Know it’s not really good for one season)
There are ways to make the game more competitive without resorting to made up agent based stats.
(Which I hope to do some day for fantasy basketball)

I’m new to TheGoodPhight, so if you play favorites I’m out, but I’ve been very loyal to BroadStreetHockey if that counts for anything. I found out about this sight through there. I love fantasy football, and am usually pretty good at it. Havn’t been able to be in a good baseball league, because my friends are too lazy to keep at it for a 162 game season. I’d be a fun guy, competitive, and I’d get my trash talking in. This is a great idea!
Go Phills!

I’ve been reading your blogs for last two years; I am an average guy; I have an average life; I have an above average love for sports; my life revolves around Philly sports and fantasy games. Added bonus: Phillies season ticket holder!
league objectives
We have a wide range of stats to use, so I kind of want to make the league “stathead friendly” – choose categories that reward power and patience, de-emphasize “net” stolen bases, eliminate pitcher Wins, etc.
http://www.thegoodphight.com
How do we adjust
for grittiness and playing the right way?
Did I just disqualify myself from the league?
Number of media mentions by certain writers/broadcasters. That’s a really hard metric. This would be more of a drinking game than a stat league. A “bonus” each week might be to select the player who gets the most loving treatment by Joe Morgan.

My problem is that I would want Dave Kingman Adam Dunn at every position. Except first base, where I’d pretty much want Albert Pujols. I might even want Dunn to pitch.
