Fantasy Baseball @ Yahoo

[Berzerker]

Not to usurp Slowwhand's role here, but are we going to consider BAPAYs at some point? We're going along okay so far speed-wise (we've done 2 rounds each of the last 2 days) but we're looking at losing most of today right now.

I'd like to get in ~10 rds, if it aint looking do-able by then we'll go with a 3 hour bapay. If we get in 18-20 rds and we're up against the deadline I'll fill in the rosters with playable but low value players and we can finish the draft during the 1st week and still play.

By then = when? I think if we hit 10 rounds by friday we're okay. Honestly I wouldn't mind just ignoring the australian games and either not counting them or junking them like you say, but we ought to be able to finish this, realistically.

If the draft isn't done by the 1st week I don't think you need to fill the rosters arbitrarily. Yahoo just won't start scoring until you tell it you are done, I think. So if you finish mid-week in a week and tell Yahoo you are done, it starts scoring the next week, whatever week that is.

I'm heading out for a few hours - if it gets to me, please email me @ my gmail (my user name @ gmail.com) as I get those as alerts on my phone.

[Berzerker]

okay, we'll go to 4 hour bapays on round 7
6 hours for people double picking at 1 and 10

bapays are off the clock between 11 pm and 9 am est

I'll send the league an email and post a note from the commish

[SlowwHand]

There are still names on my list and they're valid.

[Berzerker]

I'll bapay vlad in ~3 hours if he doesn't show up

[snoopy369]

Either BAPAY now or don't bother, too many people will be asleep.

[Berzerker]

do we give him 2 1b, 3 sps, or a 2nd OF

pujols is 45, greinke is 46 and marte is 50

[snoopy369]

Second OF makes most sense for positional needs, but any of those seems reasonable.

[snoopy369]

Sorted properly ("Remaining Games (Proj)", sort by rank), Matt Holiday is highest rated (just ahead of Marte).

[Berzerker]

hunter pence is the best rank at 9

dont we use orank?

[Berzerker]

oh, I see what you did

are those the rankings based on our settings?

[snoopy369]

Rank is by our settings, Orank is not. However, when you have 2013 there, you get 2013 stats, which is sort of dumb. Using "Remaining games (Proj.)", you get 2014 projections. Yahoo's are not great, but they're good enough for our purposes. It's amusing seeing how they compare to ESPN's (dramatically differing on many players).

LISTS!
