Apolyton Fantasy Baseball Signups (CBS League)

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey hey!

Another year of Apolyton Fantasy Baseball! I believe the league is 12 deep, so 11 more players to go. If you want to join sign up here and I'll send you an email with all the info (only if you are truly serious, please).

So, signup here, and, for fun's sake say who you think will be the WS team or the Surprise team.

My WS team is the St. Louis Cardinals. Their young pitchers a year older, their offense was humming, with Pujols, Drew, and now Martinez it should continue. They have very few weaknesses and with Izzy solidify their bullpen.

edit: Also the draft will be March 30th at 7:00 PM Eastern time (it is a Saturday, right before Opening Day, so you know the Spring injuries).

hmm how does it work?

I never really got into baseball until last years world series.

Arizona is as close as I have to a home team. And I felt for certain they would beat the yankees.

This is what turned me off to baseball in the first place. I hate the Yankees. A team like the pittsburg pirates has no shot at winning a world series. Why do they even play?

[Guynemer]

I'd be interested, but I'd have to see the rules first.

WS--Yankees, of course.

Surprise team--Twins. They played well last year, and are now under the contraction gun. I think they will respond by improving even more.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Actually, checking the site, I see only 10 owners are needed.

Dissident, it is like Fantasy Football... if you don't know about Baseball, it'll help you learn the game.. I bet you. You'll be scouring all the analysis and stuff trying to get an edge .

[Dis]

well I'm familiar with baseball. But is it head to head?

I wouldn't want to participate if I had to draft a Yankee. . But they have so many good players it's hard not to draft them.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Diss: Weekly Head to Head. That means H-2-H, and games are one week long.

[Chris 62]

Slackers are in.

Imran, more bad news, Walrus' mother passed, but I know he wants to play, so add him to the list.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Apolyton's loved ones are not having a good week. I'm sorry to hear that.

Ok, so:

Chris
Walrus
Imran

And maybe:
Dissident
Guy

[Dis]

let me know if you are 1 short, and I'll fill in.

but I'm not terribly interested. I might be able to manage my team once a week. Is that the norm for baseball? I won't be able to give it as much attention as football.

Pluse I refuse to draft any yankees so my team may not be as much of a challenge.

And I prefer head to head. I was in the basketball league once. I found it boring. I like head to head games. But I suppose that is impossible with baseball.

[Guynemer]

Alright, count me in.

[Ming]

Have fun...

Let me know if somebody sets up a non CBS league with a slow draft

Good luck all

[Imran Siddiqui]

Chris, check you PM. What is walrus's full screenname so I can send him a PM?

And Dissident, thank you for your offer . We might be in touch with you.

Guy, watch your PMs tonight too.

[Guynemer]

Say, that reminds me...

How exactly does the draft work?

One shot deal? Can pick up and drop players willy-nilly? I've done both sorts of fantasy leagues...

[Dis]

I'm kind of interested though. Only if I get Barry Bonds

What kind of draft is it? Another important question.

[Chris 62]

walruskkkch is the full screen name.

This hasn't been the best week, no
