Apolyton Yahoo Fantasy Baseball!

Imran Siddiqui · February 26, 2005, 16:42

Ok, we got 8 signed up:

City Hobgoblins
Your World Champions
Apocalpyses
Berzerker
Boston Rebels
Ramsey's whiffers
Three True Outcomes
Georgia Granies

Since the others haven't PMed me, I think I'll be looking to end at 10 teams. So the next 2 that PM me with their email can join up... and THEN we do a draft. We have to get it on the road soon.

Guynemer · February 27, 2005, 10:20

How will the draft work? Same as last year?

jdd2007 · February 27, 2005, 12:09

sent

Berzerker · February 27, 2005, 14:58

These are the teams registered so far

City Hobgoblins
Your World Champions
Apocalpyses
Berzerker
Boston Rebels
Ramsey's whiffers
Three True Outcomes
Georgia Granies
The Arcade Fire
Columbus Interns

Who are we missing?

The Emperor Fabulous · February 27, 2005, 15:04

Hooray for 10!

Berzerker · February 27, 2005, 15:34

That woulld mean better players for us but rather unfair to the 2 people who originally signed up. Cant we identify them and send PMs? I'll go to yahoo and try to see from the manager's list who we are missing

Imran Siddiqui · February 27, 2005, 15:44

jdd is 11th... who's 12? Don't want to have an uneven number signed up.

asleepathewheel · February 27, 2005, 15:44

FWIW, I'm The Arcade Fire

Berzerker · February 27, 2005, 15:51

Geez, why cant people use the same ID? I can identify some people but others signed up in the earlier thread under their poly ID which bears no resemblance to their email or yahoo ID so I dont know who we are missing.

I see at yahoo the following

Georgia Granies - Imran
Ramsey's Whiffers - Gjramsey
Three True Outcomes - Vlad Antlerkov
Boston Rebels - Emporer Fabulous
Berzerker - me
City Hobgoblins - Stuie
Your World Champions - LoA
Apocalypses - Apocalypse
The Arcade Fire - Asleepatthewheel
Colombus Interns - Guynemer
???????????? - Jdd
???????????? - Vlad (not signed up yet)

Who are the people with ?????????? and who are we missing?

Jdd, Guynemer, LoA, Vlad and a few others need to identify their teams.

Vlad posted at FFZ that there was no poly league so I suspect he's the 12th but I cant be sure

Imran Siddiqui · February 27, 2005, 15:55

World Champions is LoA, Berz... that should have been obvious

.

Berzerker · February 27, 2005, 15:56

I cant remember who won last year, it wasnt me and that's all I can remeber

Imran Siddiqui · February 27, 2005, 15:56

Columbus Interns is Guy
Hobgoblins is Stuie, IIRC.

Jdd hasn't been signed up yet since he's the 11th (and we don't have a 12 yet), and I don't think the other Vlad ever PMed me.

Um... Berz... BOSTON RED SOX?

He didn't come close to winning the league.

Berzerker · February 27, 2005, 16:00

I think Vlad is our 12th

Stuie · February 27, 2005, 17:25

Yeah, I can't help it if "Stuie" was already taken at Yahoo.

Anyway, I changed my signature just so you everyone will be sure who City Hobgoblins belong to.

Imran Siddiqui · February 27, 2005, 18:29

Well... it wasn't me who was complaining

.

jdd2007 · February 27, 2005, 18:45

I'm a little lost. I don't know the League ID or password. Little help?

Imran Siddiqui · February 27, 2005, 18:47

jdd, since you were the 11th to sign up, we have to wait for a 12th before we can get you in. We don't want an odd number of players.

jdd2007 · February 27, 2005, 18:57

Oh that's cool.

vlad · February 27, 2005, 20:46

ok ok so whats the deal here, do you need 12? I am in if you need me, god knows I can't get enough baseball!!!

vlad · February 27, 2005, 21:00

oh and I guess I need a PM of the league ID and password

jdd2007 · February 27, 2005, 21:10

Check please!

Imran Siddiqui · February 28, 2005, 00:38

No vlad, PM me your email address... does no one read?

vlad · February 28, 2005, 17:49

sorry Imran I was just going by a PM sent by Berz on FFZ, so I never read the whole thread. PM'd you my email now, just hollar if your going with 12, if not I can move on

Japher · February 28, 2005, 17:50

BAseball has too long of a season for FF... besides, I plan on leaving forever real soon

Berzerker · February 28, 2005, 20:20

Great, everyone is in now I assume. All we need is the draft order and a "consensus"

on the categories. I guess Imran agreed to go with either 3-2-2 or 4-2-1 on pitching slots but no holds. It doesn't matter much now if we dont have holds, so 4-2-1 is fine with me.

How do we do the draft order?

Lets try to start wednesday since thats when FFZ is starting up.

I guess Imran can start a new thread once he arrives at the order.

Lets get a move on boys, we'll need to average almost a round (12 picks) a day if we are to finish before April...

Berzerker · February 28, 2005, 20:30

Here is what Imran has for settings:

Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL

Stat Categories: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, TB, AVG, OPS, W, L, SV, K, TB, ERA, WHIP

Imran, I think the consensus was to go with CF and 2 OF instead of CF, RF, and LF.

Also, I see you have 7 minimum IP per week, that isn't enough to deter the reliever strategy. We'll need 14 or more to do that IMO.
