Exit Interview: The 2011 TGP Fantasy Baseba'al League's HR Director Will See You Now
by Wet Luzinski on Sep 29, 2011 8:02 AM EDT
in Fantasy Baseball League
In the midst of the Fan Orgasmatron that was Wild Card Wednesday last night, The Good Phight Fantasy Baseba'al League wrapped up its 2011 season. With league expansion that went to an 18-team format, competition was fierce and free agent replacement parts scarce as the season wore on. Riding high atop the league for much of the season, then consolidating and expanding his insurmountable second-half lead with a dominant final two weeks, Walcott took the league title this year. So please tip your hats to our new champion, and congratulate him. Blogs fly forever!
The thrilling battle for second place mirrored the real wild card race, as j reed, FuquaManuel, and Wet Luzinski went down to the final night before j reed came out with the silver. I won bronze, and FM won whatever it is people who come in fourth win. (I believe it's an airline bottle of a new brand of rum. There's bound to be a non-empty one up here in the attic somewhere.) While I'm at it, hearty thank yous to league commishes FuquaManuel and RememberThePhitans for stepping up this springtime so we could have extra baseball to distract us when we weren't paying attention to baseball.
To recount the season in collaborative, nerdy, wiki fashion, league participants are hereby requested expected required MANDATED to submit a minimum 500-word comment post by Saturday at noon in which any or all of the following points are detailed (feel free to use the prompts below the jump, or invent better questions to answer).
The organization wants a change. The HR Director will see you now.

Fantasy League Update: Finalizing Draft, Stats, Rules
by FuquaManuel on Mar 9, 2011 9:03 PM EST
in Fantasy Baseball League
Hi all. A few updates.
A. Draft is set for Sunday, March 13, 4:00 PM. Be there, or have your autodraft rankings set.
B. As RTP mentioned in the league messages, the random draft order has been determined. It is as follows:
Draft Order Pick Team 1 Jose and the Contrarians 2 BudVugger 3 Leepin Lizardz 4 Philsandthrills 5 Wet Luzinski 6 CoburnsCuddleBuddy 7 RememberThePhitans 8 Cormican 9 Walcott 10 Montreal Rexpos 11 LondonPhillie 12 FuquaManuel 13 The Phrozen 14 Trev223 15 dannijd 16 j reed 17 ThinMountainAir 18 FearTheTurtle Order is reversed on even-numbered rounds
Congrats to Jose and the Contrarians and my condolences to FearTheTurtle. (Although, in a league this deep, having two picks in a row could be an advantage.)
C. Stat categories have been selected. They are as follows:
Offense- OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, SB-CS
Pitching- QS, FIP, K, BB, SV+HLD-BS (Alas, the "bullpennery" superconcoction wasn't possible.)
D. Roster sizes and position breakdowns are as follows:
Status Min Max Active Players 0 19 Reserve Players 0 6 Injured Players 0 2 Minors Players 0 0 Total Players 0 27 Position Min Max Tot Active C 0 1 Active 1B 0 1 Active 2B 0 1 Active 3B 0 1 Active SS 0 1 Active MI 0 0 Active CI 0 0 Active OF 0 3 Active U 0 2 Active SP 0 5 Active RP 0 4 Illegal rosters score zero points in standings.
After players become active, the must be removed from the DL or dropped.
E. 900 IP and 3950 ABs are the team minimums.
That's all for now. See youse Sunday!
Your 2011 The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball Participants
by FuquaManuel on Feb 28, 2011 10:54 PM EST
in Fantasy Baseball League
After careful deliberation, I have selected the participants for this year's TGP Fantasy Baseball League. The response to this year's call for applications was overwhelming and I quite enjoyed reading your haikus. You once again illustrated why The Good Phight is widely considered the most poetic Phillies blog on the innernets. One applicant put it best:
If your name is on the list below, congrats! Soon you should be getting an invite to the league at the email address that you used to register your account here. If you don't, let me know.

The Good Phight Fantasy Baseball 2011
by FuquaManuel on Feb 19, 2011 10:13 PM EST
in Fantasy Baseball League
Pitchers and catchers reported last weekend. Spring Training games begin next weekend. But for the truly obsessed, baseball isn't really here until fake teams have been drafted and the smack talk has begun in earnest. Well, by popular demand, it's back! Now is your chance to apply for entry into the legendary TGP Fantasy Baseball league.
Unfortunately, we no longer have the sweet deal with CBSsports.com for a free commissioners league, which means we will need to find a new venue to host our yearly extravaganza. Not to fear. We'll take our talents elsewhere.
[UPDATE by FuquaManuel, 02/21/11 5:18 PM EST] Turns out we'll be using CBSsports.com after all. I took down the poll because it's not relevant anymore.
After the jump: league info, instructions for applying, and a poll...
Fantasy Baseball player rankings

in Fantasy Baseball League
Since my team is in 5th place, I haven't been been throwing updates out there like I should (though Whole Camels really sucks). I am going to make note of how my points rankings compares to how the players are actually playing. My sophisticated method of allocating points will predict the MVP and Cy Young of both leagues. And if not, then they are wrong and not me.
