  • Its never too early to start thinking Fantasy Baseball

    Gentlemen, I'm putting this up early so that we can have a great jump on this year.

    Last year I feel was a mixed bag. The novelty of the auction league was great, and added a dimension to the game that just isn't there in the normal drafts. Unfortunately, participation really didn't warrant two leagues - we even had to stretch with the addition of...whatever the dude's name was.

    We should start brainstorming now.

    Last year, I setup the second league (a bit late, but we still got it). However, I'm currently couch-surfing around Los Angeles and I'm on the move a lot - dunno how the next few months will progress, but I'm going to assume I won't be rich by April.

    So gents, what are your thoughts?

    I enjoyed the auction league and I think its better than drafts

    maybe not, I suspect the serpentine draft creates more parity. With the auction its possible to buy 4-5 superstars and have a dominant team.

    anyway, I'll play a weekly slow draft league and a daily league (pref auction)

    might play a 3rd league if I'm in 1 at FFZ instead of 2

      I'll do weekly slow draft league if I'm needed to complete the league. I have some things not going on that I need to get going on.

        I'm definitely up for the weekly slow draft league. And this year if we end up a player short I promise not to ask any of my friends to join.

                      Can we do more traditional scoring system this year, at least for hitting?
                      Say:
                      Runs, RBI, BB, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, SB, AVG.
                      "

                        my prefs

                        R, H, HR, RBI, TB, SB, OBP, SLG
                        QS, L, SV, BB, K, ERA, WHIP

                        K/9, or K/BB for K and BB, and/or Holds

                          I didn't terribly like holds. Seemed to throw things off last year.

                            holds are better in daily leagues, its kinda hard to compete for saves, holds and wins/quality starts in a weekly. I like K/BB instead of Ks and BBs which tend to cancel each other out and gives us room for another stat, And QS > Wins

                            I'm kinda torn between sabremetrics and traditional scoring, I still like HR even though I want TB in there for XBH in spite of Slg - but I'm not much for arguing about stats anymore.

                              I will definitely join a weekly draft league.
