Fantasy Baseball Anyone??

[joe_stack20]

Last year we had a fantasy baseball league thru yahoo. Entry Fee was $5.00 worth of fishing lures, at the end of the season the winner took all. Anyone still interested in doing that again this year?? If no lure is sent, and you win, you get nothing!!!! You must pay to play!! Let me know

[Quickstrike]

I think I could swing that, i did a yahoo league last year and think they have a great and easy system.

[porterhouse]

Sounds good to me. Is it a live draft?

Last year i believe we did an automatic draft, but live draft works for me, as long as everyone shows up for it. Let me know what you think!

[hamrej23]

im in again.

[joe_stack20]

I dont really wanna be the Commish, anyone else up for it?

[hamrej23]

i can do it, i have b4

[joe_stack20]

Last year i thought there wer some real weird categories, example. Complete Games and shut outs for pitchers, Fielding Percentage for players was weird as well, i thin kwe need to insert doubles and triples in there. just my 2 cents.

[porterhouse]

If its a automatic draft count me in!!!!!!!! Sounds like alot of fun.

[joe_stack20]

ya i agree, Automatic drafts are better, Only time Live Drafts are called for, is when you are in a "Big Money" League. just my 2 cents. How many can we get we will try to ind out, i will post this in other threads to attract more people!

[Outdoors_guy]

I will play if you guys get one going.

[Bushwacker]

I will be in again this year. I was commish last year and wouldn't mind doing it again, but lets get more guys that send in lures this year. Last year I only received lures from 5 our of 12 guys, but the winner was one of them.

We can definitely include dubs and trips in the scoring catagories. I think the less pitching stats the better, maybe that would lessen the adding and dropping.

[joe_stack20]

I agree 100% about everyone sending in Lures, i mean its $5.00 big deal, jus some people are too lazy to go out and buy them, and then ship them out. Oh well, Bushwacker, i liked ya last year as the Commish, you were always on the message board, and updating, keeeping things in-line, if you want the job, i think you got it!!!

[mnvikingsfreak]

I'll play you can count me in an automatic draft.

[spudhauler]

If there is still room I'll play. I like the concept of fishing lures for the pot. I have only used live drafting in the past (very time consuming and a pain to get all involved to commit to a time). How does the automatic draft work?

[knoppers]

I will play again also, it was fun last year, even though I did not win. and I was one of the five that sent in a lure. the football leauge was also great, since I won it all.

any type draft will work for me, as long as a live draft is on friday saturday or sunday, since I work the nightshift.

lets play for a lure package again. same as last year.

[Bushwacker]

I tried to sign up a league already, but the registration doesn't start until mid-Febuary. I think we will do a auto-draft like last year, but if enough people want to do a live draft that would work too. The people that can't make it will just have their line-ups drafted auto anyway, so it would still work.

[braves57]

I'd be interested in a live draft if I can make it. Definitely send in some lures also! Let me know!

Here we go guys, FM Fantasy Baseball 2006-

League ID# 8960

League Name# FM Baseball

League Password- Fishing

12 Teams, Head-To-Head scoring, auto draft as of now, but if over 6 people want live draft we can change it down the road.

If you sign up for the league, you are committing to sending in a lure that is valued around $5.00. It is a small commitment, but makes it fun during the season and during the playoffs. Winner basically gets $60.00 worth of lures.

[Bushwacker]

To allow other managers to join your league, send them the League ID# and Password. In your case, the ID# is 8960 and the Password is Fishing.------Make sure you are using an upper-case F in Fishing.

Here are the stats: R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Bushwacker,

If it's ok I signed up for the fantasy baseball league. I need an address of where I need to send the lures.

Thanks!!!!!!!

[braves57]

I jsut tried to sign up... it give me a password incorrect error. is it just me?

[braves57]

Oh, and what are the categories you set up?

[Bushwacker]

Welcome to the league!

I will get my address posted on the message board on the league homepage once it fills up.

[braves57]

when is the auto draft set to kick in? once it fills up? I noticed it is on "ready" status. I'm just wondering how much time I have to do some tweaking with the pre-rankings.

Thanks!

Do we have a "theme" on the lures? i.e. walleye lures, raps, open water, ice fishing lures? or doesn't it matter?
