Apolyton Fantasy Baseball Draft!!

[Stuie]

@Berzerker: if you go to the league homepage (http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo....d=25223&mid=11) there is a link at the top for "Rules".

Under Roster Notes:

Players are only eligible to play at the position(s) designated by Yahoo! Sports, and some players may be eligible at more than one spot.

Here's the list if Imran wants to cut and paste it into the first post:

1. Pentagon Payback -- jdd2007
2. Nova Monkeys -- Calc II
3. Weasals -- Lawrence of Arabia
4. Hotlanta Hardmen -- Imran
5. Noobies -- Caesar the Great
6. Totally Nowhere -- Stuie
7. Lions Rampant -- Vlad Antlerkov
8. Slackers -- Chris62
9. Old Indian Sexstones -- Peacemaker
10. BC Evil Bears -- vlad
11. Mingapulco Spammers -- Ming
12. Berzerkers -- Berzerker

And we're back to Caesar again. Looks like he gets Carlos Beltran if he doesn't pick by 01:35 am EST.

Edit: corrected some still-half-asleep errors...

[Lawrence of Arabia]

why dont we quickly autp pick for him until he posts again?

[Berzerker]

Thx Stuie!

I can't remember, but didn't we have to wait on Caesar before? If so, yes, he should keep getting auto picks until he does pay us a visit. We can't afford these delays. I assume we also want a few days for trading before the season starts.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

he would get carlos beltran

[Berzerker]

Okay, so, what are the parameters for our league? Is it head-to-head? What are the stat categories by which winning and losing is calculated? I need input, INPUT!

[Lawrence of Arabia]

bump de bump

[Berzerker]

Like here's a question, if I have 2 closers and both get a couple saves during a week, do I get 4 saves for the week or do I get only 1 closer's stats for the week? If that's the case, I might be taking Smolts and Nen very quick.

[Berzerker]

Umm...I'd like to rush this along too, but shouldn't we wait for Imran to confirm the autopick? He might have gotten a PM from Caesar with his picks.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

For pitcheres, you get points based on

Wins
Saves
KOs
ERA
(H+BB)/IP

[Lawrence of Arabia]

For hitters, you get points based on

RBIs
SBs
TBs
AVG
OBP + Slug%

[Berzerker]

So these stats are compiled after a week and the winner of the head to head match up is determined by who has the most victories in these categories? Uh oh, better start looking at base stealers. Btw, what if I have 3 or 4 closers? Won't I have a better chance at winning the saves category every week? Do I get to count all the saves from my closers every week or just one closer?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I didn't get a PM from Caesar, for all I know he's dropped off the face of the earth.

This is getting ridiculous.... lets have a vote if Caesar's pick should be made now. If I get 7 yea votes, he gets Beltran.

I have Stuie's and Vlad Antlerkov's pick preferences as well, so 3 picks will get done when Caesar's pick is made.

--

And yes, if you have 4 closers, you'll likely win the SAVE measurement, BUT you'll most likely lose on WINS and SOs (because starters have many more innings to SO people).

[Berzerker]

yes, beltran 4 caesar

edit: if we had to wait on caesar once already, then yes. If not, give him a couple hours if you want.

[Berzerker]

Ah, thx, then my next picks will Nen and Smoltz...maybe.

[Peacemaker]

yes
