2017 #1 Fantasy Baseball League

[wreck]

Not sure who's going to be in charge this year but wanted to start a new thread, to get an idea of who's coming back and if we need to find more people.

Here is the list of last year's teams.

1. tipyerbartender
2. aplous
3. HBomb
4. Grind
5. TheLaw
6. Compton Ballers
7. Gabe
8. Gwarner
9. Canes1
10. Productive Human
11. wreck
12. Gorgy

The only thing I would think is that this needs to be a 12 team league at minimum. 10 just isn't worth it. Anyone have any other suggestions? Changing scoring categories? OBP instead of AVG? Maybe changing to Roto instead of H2H?

One recent addition to Yahoo is that they have added the ability to add DL and NA players directly to DL & NA slots so owners don't have to cycle drop an active player unnecessarily just to then designate DL player to the DL.

 

[reNew Orleans]

I may be interested if y'all need to fill a spot. A year removed from paying attention to baseball so I'm sure lots has change so free money.

Always a fan of OBP instead of AVG.

 

[Canes1]

Doesn't appear Tip wants to run the league if he isn't reinstated. Anyone want to step up to be new commish?

what's happened with tip?

he just reupped the league. Got my confirmation email.

what do you think we should do? what's going on with his removal?

Tip was scheduled to have his ban lifted on 1/22, but through conversations and actions yesterday, it was made clear that Tip had zero interest in being a positive contributor at CTG. With him making that decision, it was best to part ways, and make the ban permanent (again).

If you are unable to contact him through the league (or via Twitter), let me know and I can provide his email address (I'll check with him to be sure it's okay to share).

 

[GWarner27]

12 owners min, OBP > AVG

 

[reNew Orleans]

you can always start a new league without and just not invite tip.

I was commish for the 2nd league if yall need someone to commish

 

[Canes1]

Tip is in.

 

[aplous]

Tip is in. Let's do it.

i have a work conference in New Orleans 3/27-3/31 so really can't draft that week. How bout 3/21 or 3/22?

 

[GWarner27]

let's set a firm date ASAP please

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I'm in. Keep h2h. Obp instead of avg. really prefer a weekend draft date or a Friday night

 

[Canes1]

I am w Gorg regarding a weekend draft night.

 

[aplous]

Weekday works better for me but I can do Sunday night 3/19.....prefer 8pm or later central

 

[GWarner27]

weekends? Don't make me more of a shut-in please

Sunday sounds like a good happy medium

 

[Canes1]

Lot of demands from you

 

[GWarner27]

reigning champs get that

 

[wreck]

so what's the deal

 

[GWarner27]

draft date changed to 3/22 at 845 pm ET, let's make this happen

 

[TheHbomb]

I already have another league drafting at the same time, so that doesn't work for me.

 

[TheHbomb]

I think we're still looking to fill this if anyone is interested.

 

[TheHbomb]

I think we're currently at 10, but would prefer 12.

 

[aplous]

Tomorrow night.....lets do it

 

[aplous]

Bump....need peeps to confirm or join. Gotta have 10 or 12 to draft and we have some unknowns.

 

[TheLaw4]

Do we know how many we actually have for tonight?

 

[TheHbomb]

I think we're at 9, but Wreck said he needs to have 12 or else he's not interested. I think that means we need 3 more. Might be best to reschedule at this point.

 

[GWarner27]

gonna have to reschedule and make sure we have 12

looks like we have:
tip
grind
me
plous
hbomb
law
wreck
canes
gorg

add renew and we need two? Hellooooo

 

[Gyno]

Im in....draft is tonight?

 

[MusicCityGambler]

I'm interested if you guys need another player. What's the price of admission?

 

[Canes1]

100 bucks. Looks like we have 11. Is renew in?

 

[GWarner27]

that'd be 12 if we have renew.

Draft was last night and we need to tell tip to clear the results and set a new date

 

[MusicCityGambler]

Cool I'd like to play.

 

[aplous]

I could do tomorrow 8pm or later though it will interfere with my rooting against KU....could also do Monday night 830 central or later.

 

[GWarner27]

tip rescheduled the draft to tomorrow at 9. I sent MCG an email with tip CC'd to hopefully get that spot filled

 

[Gyno]

tomorrow would be great

 

[GWarner27]

renewwwwwwww where are yaaaaaaaa

 

[reNew Orleans]

just responded to Hbomb via pm.

assumed I wasnt in and have been pretty busy lately. I wouldnt be available to draft tomorrow night - if yall need one the earliest I would be available Monday night at best.

 

[GWarner27]

looks like we have:
tip
grind
me
plous
hbomb
law
wreck
canes
gorg
gabe
MCG

here's 11 for tomorrow if we don't have renew. I can do monday also if we need to go for that day

(obviously we'd need 1 to get to 12)

 

[TheLaw4]

ComptonBallers I believe is in, but he's not a member on the site.

Monday would also work better for me than tonight

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I'm in. Is 9pm confirmed for tonight?

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Cool I'd like to play.

Would love to include you and get this ball rolling. Let's dump anyone who is non-responsive, and get this ball rolling.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

ComptonBallers I believe is in, but he's not a member on the site.

Monday would also work better for me than tonight

Not a fan of tonight's draft either, but if everyone else can make it, I'm in. Very tough to get 12 people on same page.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

here's 11 for tomorrow if we don't have renew. I can do monday also if we need to go for that day

(obviously we'd need 1 to get to 12)

So if we draft tonight, we need to recruit 1 more. Can we try the GD thread to ask?

 

[GWarner27]

it appears we have 12 now by tip's math, but i don't know about when the draft is actually gonna happen?

It sounds like Monday works for everyone, but if we can all do tonight it'd be nice to get it done

 

[GWarner27]

the 12:
gorg
mcg
canes
choo-tang clan (idk?)
compton ballers (?)
grind
me
gyno
t1dc (?)
jason (?)
tip
plous

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I believe Jason responded through yahoo saying he is in.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Is music city and Jason same person? If so, we only have 11.

 

[GWarner27]

i listed mcg 2nd

 

[GWarner27]

there are 12 teams in the league, i copied that over above, but i just don't know who is who

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I think Grind is out. I don't see any activity from him.

 

[GWarner27]

he was in the chatroom the other day when the draft was supposed to happen. Can't say that much about the rest of you
