Fantasy Baseball 2007

[Pagal4321]

Hey boys and girls,

Well it's about that time of year again....and CP's resident fantasy nut is here to start yet another league.

If I recall correctly Jiggy 12 is our reigning champion with flambers (good call Jiggy) as the runner up and Suave as third place. I will just assume you three will participate again.

I think having an 18 person league like last year is fair. Categories will be determined when I open the league. If you sign up, please post a preferred time for the draft. I will sign up for the league when it opens on February 15th.

1. Pagal4321
2. Jiggy 12
3. flambers
4. Suave
5. Moon
6. rubecube
7. socialwingfan
8. Prottotype
9. Oilfan 81
10. Kipperfan
11. Flickered Flame
12. OilersBaby
13. Rather Dashing
14. Flames in 07
15. droopydrew
16. gcychun
17. Iggy Snipe
18. crusaderpi

[moon]

I am in.

No preferred time now but will let you know if that chagnes before the 15th. As long as it isn't Saturday afternoon.

[Jiggy_12]

Definitely in again to defend my title, the last 2 seasons were fun.

Just looking back at the old thread, and the runner up was flambers. I think the best time for the draft is any weeknight except for friday, or on a sunday night. Most people including myself should be available for those times.

[rubecube]

I'll do it.

[socalwingfan]

I'm in - any time is fine for the draft. Need to make up for my late season collapse last year

[flambers]

I am in for sure.....

EDIT: second sucked by the way...... I want first this time.....:)

I had Doc from the Jays and his injury really hurt my team.........

[Prototype]

I guess I'll take the same beating I recieve last year. I mean someone has to be in last, right?

[OILFAN #81]

I wasn't in it last year but I will be in. I'm a sports junkie.

[kipperfan]

Never played fantasy baseball on CP before....but I am down for this season.

[Prototype]

I'm a junkie who likes sports.

Fixed it for ya Neil... You're welcome.

[Flickered Flame]

Count me in. I will have alittle more time this season to manage my team the way I did 2 years ago when I won it all.

[OilersBaby]

I definately want to be in. I love the As! Go Oakland..whooooooooo!

As far as the time of the draft, anything except for a Fri/Sat night works for me...and I cant do it the first Sunday of March because I'll be flying back from Edmonton that day

[Jiggy_12]

Count me in. I will have alittle more time this season to manage my team the way I did 2 years ago when I won it all.

You won it all, then in 2006 we rewarded you by letting you manage 2 teams...both of which did terrible. tsk tsk...:D

[RatherDashing]

I am in.

Sunday evening/night would be the best for me.

[Flickered Flame]

You won it all, then in 2006 we rewarded you by letting you manage 2 teams...both of which did terrible. tsk tsk...:D

Yeah well my heart got in the way of my head last year. I promise not to pick so many A's this year.

[Flames in 07]

I'll get in that. Thanks.

[OilersBaby]

Yeah well my heart got in the way of my head last year. I promise not to pick so many A's this year.

Don't worry, Oakland is also my fav team so Ill take some off your hands, especially Chavez;) Already got some tix for next season....I'm excited. Nice to see another As fan on this thing, everyone else seems to be about the Blue Jays.

It's weird, after the Jays the A's are actually well represented on this board. There are a few of you.

[droopydrew19]

I am up for some more A's bashing... Right mike???

Count me in.

[rubecube]

It's weird, after the Jays the A's are actually well represented on this board. There are a few of you.

Then there's us casual Brewers fans as well. :bag:

[gcycheun]

count me in

[Iggy Snipe]

If there is any room, let me know through PM.

[Jiggy_12]

Looks like there is alot of interest from new managers, so just a quick note for those who haven't played before.

This league works great if you pay attention, and adjust your lineups at least twice a week. It isn't just a draft and see what happens pool.
So make sure you have some time to make an effort. The last 2 seasons we maybe had 1 or 2 teams that lost interest both years, which is actually pretty good. But any more than that it just isn't any fun.

Thanks, when someone gets the chance, if there is a rules sheet, let me know. IE cap? pick up rules / restrictions etc.

[Jiggy_12]

Thanks, when someone gets the chance, if there is a rules sheet, let me know. IE cap? pick up rules / restrictions etc.

As soon as Pagal4321 starts up the league, you'll be able to see all the rules and stat categories. No cap or anything like that though.

[OilersBaby]

how many people from each position do we each draft?

[Jiggy_12]

how many people from each position do we each draft?

That will be determined by the commissioner.

But usually you'll have every IF position, 3 OF posititions, a util which can be anything, then 3-5 bench spots. As well as 1 or 2 DL spots for your injured players. 3-5 Starting pitchers, 3 relievers, then 3-5 bench spots for pitchers.

[CrusaderPi]

I'm in if you have room left.

[Flames in 07]

Just a thought about entry into this pool.

What about a small entry fee, whereby 75% is paid out and 25% goes to CP?
Pagel was cautiously supportive of this idea (Is that a correct catagorization) ... dependant on everyone elses feedback.

I would be OK with that but for the fact I dont use any sort of e-wallet and I live in TO...so I dont know how that would work out...:confused:

If someone can think of an easy way to do it. Seems a little complicated to organize..but I guess its do-able.

[ricoFlame]

Crap, i missed the boat here. Lemme know if a spot opens up. Dang.

[OilersBaby]

Is it through Yahoo?

[Jiggy_12]

Is it through Yahoo?

Yep.

[Prototype]

If it's a money pool, I'm out fellas... even if it's $5. I'm still a student when it comes to the baseball pools... so it doesn't make sense for me to pay to play, when it's a free pool.

Sorry guys, but if it's for cash, I'm out... let me know what the plan is and I'll make a decision on my spot at that time. Thanks.

[Flickered Flame]

Yeah I am in favor of keeping it free. I am out as well if it goes to a cash pool.

[socalwingfan]

Last year we had pretty active involvement in the league, I don't think we need a small prize to make it more interesting. I say let's keep it free, but I will be in either way.

[flambers]

I would vote to keep it free.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Is the league full or is the 18th spot still open? I am guessing that it is full but just in case I am inquiring.

[Flames in 07]

ok np.

[Jiggy_12]

Yeah, I kinda figured most wouldn't want to pay.

Free is the way to go. We had good participation both years as socalwingfan said...so the status quo should be good.

[Pagal4321]

Alright guys,

The league has been created and we are ready to discuss rules. I just picked the same rules as last year for now....so I'll throw some changes out there.

Head to Head or Points or Rotisserie??
I like the H2H ides, but I was recently intorduced to Rotisserie scoring in hockey and I really enjoy it. So which one do you guys want to do??

Roster Positions

C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL


Stat Categories
AB, R, 2B, HR, RBI, SB, TB, AVG, OBP, OPS, IP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

[flambers]

I would vote for Head to Head

[moon]

I prefer Rotisserie but whatever the majority wants I'm fine with.

[droopydrew19]

I dont have a strong preference either way. H2H or Roto

[socalwingfan]

I don't know if it's possible, or if the majority want to do it, but I would suggest freezing the rosters at the start of the playoffs. I dropped some players during the playoffs trying to get back into the race without thinking how it could affect the players in the next round. As for Head to Head or Rotissiere I am fine with either

[kipperfan]

I would prefer H2H but either is fine.

[OilersBaby]

Hey y'all,

I prefer the head to head method vs the rotisserie way...
Am I the only girl in this thing or any other women? Just curious:)

[flambers]

Hey y'all,

I bet you are the only one.....:D

[OilersBaby]

I bet you are the only one.....:D
Prolly..but whatever. I LOVE baseball..cant wait til the A's minipacks go on sale. As RULE..love em as much as the Oilers. And that's a lot. I know that most of you like the Jays or the As, and I know that one of you likes KC. Any other fav teams?

I have always cheered for the Jays......

I believe there are a few A's fans here as well.

Cardinals fan.

And not just since they won last year either.:D

[socalwingfan]

I don't know if it counts - but I often call my wife to place transactions for me because I can't access the league from work.

Had a picture of Billy Martin on my wall as a kid and have been a Yanks fan since the late 70s. Although I did adopt the A's as my second team while Billy was the manager there, but that was a long time ago. I've adopted the Dodgers as my second team since moving here.

[Flames in 07]

either is fine, small preference to H2H I guess.

As for teams:
1. Jays
2. Stros
3. M's

[JBR]

Damn!

When I read the title of this thread, I thought the headlines would read:

"Faith Hill signs deal with Yankees. Agrees to sing national anthem at all home games.. nude."

[Prototype]

H2H is my vote.

[Jiggy_12]

Head to head is the way to go IMO. Its worked great the last 2 seasons.

[Pagal4321]

Alright well it looks like head 2 head is the choice of the majority. Now does anyone have any suggestions on roster spots/stat categories??

[Jiggy_12]

I like the stat categories as they stand. It makes it simple. 20 categories...10 hitting/10 pitching. Weights both sides equally.

[moon]

Alright well it looks like head 2 head is the choice of the majority. Now does anyone have any suggestions on roster spots/stat categories??

Surprised people like Head to head but the majority rules I guess.

The stats we hav had in the past worl for me. I don't see anything that should be added/deleted.

[kipperfan]

Just started up my team and created the beginning of my draft board.....damn I am getting excited for baseball now!! Both fantasy and real baseball!

[OilersBaby]

I just joined the league and all that stuff...yay! I'm excited also. My team name on there is "AthleticBabe"

[Flames in 07]

Registered. Thanks again.

Can you please post the league name and address?

[flambers]

Okay my team is "Blue Jay Rules"

[rubecube]

So what's more important, a pitcher with a low ERA or one that gets a lot of SOs?

[Flickered Flame]

I think there are still a few guys/gals who haven't signed in. Still have about a month until the draft.

[Flickered Flame]

So what's more important, a pitcher with a low ERA or one that gets a lot of SOs?

Personally I would take a SO pitcher. I find that the ERAs to be fairly even from week to week.

[Jiggy_12]

So what's more important, a pitcher with a low ERA or one that gets a lot of SOs?

Well..that's a tough one. they would be weighted the same. To win that stat category, you have to have more SO's than your opponent, or a lower ERA than your opponent. But since SO's are so rare, usually 1 is enough to win.

So I guess I would prefer a SO to a low ERA, but the two things go hand-in-hand so you can't draft a SO pitcher without also getting a low ERA pitcher.

[rubecube]

Second question: Is there any reason not to draft Albert Pujols first overall?

[Jiggy_12]

Second question: Is there any reason not to draft Albert Pujols first overall?

Nope.

Although both years the team that drafted Pujols didn't even make the playoffs.

[flambers]

Second question: Is there any reason not to draft Albert Pujols first overall?

In my view its not the first selection that will win the league but its the bottom 5 selections.

Some GMs can find really quality players really late in the draft...those are the GMs that will do really well.

[Prototype]

I call dibs on Jose Cruz Jr. :bag:

[Pagal4321]

I call dibs on Jose Cruz Jr. :bag:
Royce Clayton is MINE!!!!!

[flambers]

Come on....no takers for Josh Towers.........:)

[rubecube]

Delmon Young?

[Jiggy_12]

Trades can be a big part of this league too. Last year I made a trade that singlehandedly won me the whole thing.

My team had tons of power, but no average or speed. So I sent Richie Sexson away for Chase Utley. Chase Utley went on to have a huge year in every category. Its good to have balance. So having the 1st overall pick is somewhat bad, because of the snake draft order. if you draft 18th..you're almost better off.

Ironically, the team that finished 2nd...made that trade as well.....:bag: :whaa:


but.... the thing that lost it was losing my Ace Pitcher....Doc H

[OilersBaby]

Sexon had wayyy too many strikeouts last year, thats all I know.

[Flames in 07]

Sexon had wayyy too many strikeouts last year, thats all I know.

I saw about 8 of them. Not tough to do when you have the biggest strike zone in the league.

[Pagal4321]

Hey guys....just waiting for ONE person to sign up. Not 100% sure who that is, but if you are on the list, in my first post, and haven't signed up can you please let meknow.

[Jiggy_12]

Still waiting for 1 person to sign up. we need to figure this out pretty quick here, so post in this thread if you want to play.

[Super-Rye]

I'm down.

[Flickered Flame]

I am already signed up.

[Pagal4321]

Good call Jiggy...completely forgot about this and just started work today. So probably wouldn't have remembered at all.

Super-Rye...check your PMs.

[kipperfan]

I also have already signed up

[Super-Rye]

Err my internet's acting up, for whatever reason I can post on CP but can't do anything else.

edit: all back now

[Super-Rye]

Yeah password and stuff now working. Oh wells.

[Pagal4321]

So you gonna sign up??

[Cerebral]

Do you guys need one more person? If so, I could be down.

[Jiggy_12]

***REMINDER***

DRAFT TOMORROW NIGHT!

24 hours from now, 7:30 Mountain time.

If you can't be there, pre-rank your players. Its not the end of the world if you can't make it, but these drafts are usually pretty fun and a good way to get pumped for our season and the real thing too.

How long do you think it will take to complete the draft?

[Jiggy_12]

How long do you think it will take to complete the draft?

Typically it takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

[Pagal4321]

Well, I guess I really screwed myself for the draft....I will really only be there for an hour, MAX tonight. But I will stock up my queue and let er draft for me.

Best of luck chaps.

[kipperfan]

Ohh baby I am getting excited now...draft less then 2 hours away!

[Flames in 07]

Looks like the draft is actually setup for 8:30, must be one of those daylight savings glitches ... it may need to be reset an hour earlier.

[Jiggy_12]

Looks like the draft is actually setup for 8:30, must be one of those daylight savings glitches ... it may need to be reset an hour earlier.

Looks fine to me, its a go for 7:30. the draft room is already open so that tells me its all good.

[Flames in 07]

just opened up for me
the timer was counting down to 8:30, but looks good now. I'm in ... and drafting 3rd last??

only thing for is, that is looks like the chat screen won't work for me

[kipperfan]

Yeah I couldnt chat...that kinda sucked...I dont know about my team, alot of young guys....I have good pitching.....but am very shallow in other portions of my lineup

[Jiggy_12]

Man, that was a rough draft for me.

First, my sly plan of picking Chase Utley 7th overall gets thwarted. Then Pagal leaves with his wishes of another Jiggy_12 outburst, and about 2 minutes later I draft Liriano who I find out is gone for the year. BAH!

[Super-Rye]

I like my team, alot of really young pitchers who are high reward. Of course the downside to that is if they don't work I'm shallow when it comes to pitching with a bunch of mediocre pitchers and no true ace...we'll see how this plays out.

[Flickered Flame]

Yeah I feel like my pitching is very good. I have 4 or 5 starters that could win 15+games each and thats not counting Harden who could be a great pick if he stays healthy.

Offensively, I am not so happy with my picks. I don't have one big home run guy, unless Beltran belts out 45+dingers. My infield is solid but more solid contact type hitters and the outfield is Beltran, Alou, and Matthews.

The thing I hate most about my team is that I draft 5 Angels, the team I hate the most.

[socalwingfan]

Can't say I'm too happy with my team - I think taking Ortiz with my first pick cast a shadow over my whole draft. I had psyched myself up for taking Manny at 11 (the only Sox I can stand) but couldn't pass on Ortiz.
It seemed like some weird picks were happening in the early rounds and completely took me out of my strategy. Oh well, there's always the waiver pickups!!

[Prototype]

I hope that my gambles pay off... especially in my pitching. Pedro, Gagne, and AJ... If they can pull everything together, should work out good for me. Not too sure about my infield, but I'm happy with my outfield of Jones, Wells, and Bonds. Getting Pujols isn't too shabby either. I don't think I'll be in last this year fellas.

[flambers]

As for my team (BlueJayyfan), like others I took gambles as well. With my first pick I took Mr Stolen Base...Reyes. If he has another solid year he should be a great pick. My second pick I took Mauer, this guy was awesome last season.

I also took three young guys with my really late picks I believe thats the area which makes or breaks a team.

My teams weakness this year could be pitching. As hitting should be really strong.

The draft was a blast thanks for organizing this !

[Suave]

I need at least two of my young bats (Kendrick, Markakis, and Duncan)
to step up to have a chance. That and I need my two closers to stay healthy and keep their jobs. And it looks like I will also have to do some waiver wire work to help out my pitching.

[OILFAN #81]

Pitching seems to be my strongpoint.

SP:
Halladay
Zito
Kenny Rogers
Buehrle
Penny
Loaiza
Meche
Livan Hernandez
Wolf
Byrd

RP:
Isringhausen
Todd Jones

C - Ivan Rodriguez
1B - Jeff Kent
2B- Luis Castillo
3B - Eric Chavez
SS - Derek Jeter
OF - Jermaine Dye
OF - Jim Edmonds
OF - Garret Anderson
Util - Pedro Feliz
Util - Kevin Mench
Bench - Marcus Thames

Dye is my power guy and Jeter is batting average guy. I'll probably be looking to trade a pitcher or two for a bat. Let me know if you're interested!

[flambers]

As for trades..... my team "Blue Jays Rule"....are always open to make trades

[rubecube]

Garbage. My auto-draft picked Clemens.

[flambers]

Garbage. My auto-draft picked Clemens.

LOL, its always critical that a person edits his or her draft lists, as there are a pile of players that are on the IR or are gone for the season or are not signed which were on the Yahoo list.

I know that does not help you but it might help yah in the future. I must of removed 40 or 50 players who are high risk guys.

Yeah, I knew when the draft was but I was too hungover to make it to my computer.

[flambers]

Yeah, I knew when the draft was but I was too hungover to make it to my computer.

Yep, I thought I was going to miss the draft as well (made it back just in time)..... thats why I really like the feature of editing the players (can start to mess around with it way before hand).

I would of hated to get a guy like Josh Towers on my team..... :bag:

[kipperfan]

Yeah, I knew when the draft was but I was too hungover to make it to my computer.

If you really hate Clemens I will take him from you...but you get whomever I choose to give you off my roster....:)

[flambers]

If you really hate Clemens I will take him from you...but you get whomever I choose to give you off my roster....:)

Crap, I would agree with that..... I am not too sure Mr Clemens will sign with any team........... but I am guessing you must have a player thats out for the season on your team.... or even worse an Oakland player.....:blink:

[kipperfan]

Crap, I would agree with that..... I am not too sure Mr Clemens will sign with any team........... but I am guessing you must have a player thats out for the season on your team.... or even worse an Oakland player.....:blink:

I have someone whom I drafted by mistake...and he is pure garbage IMO and would be happy to lose him for lotto ticket named Clemens.

[kipperfan]

I have someone whom I drafted by mistake...and he is pure garbage IMO and would be happy to lose him for lotto ticket named Clemens.

If you look over my draft history you can probably figure out who it is...one name is very out of place in the middle of my draft.

[rubecube]

I think I'll take my chances with the lotto ticket.

First, my sly plan of picking Chase Utley 7th overall gets thwarted. Then Pagal leaves with his wishes of another Jiggy_12 outburst, and about 2 minutes later I draft Liriano who I find out is gone for the year. BAH!


DAMN IT...I missed another outburst???

I don't think I have a shot in hell of competeing in this league....

[OilersBaby]

i totally forgot about it..my sis is moving to chicago next weekend (we live in San Jose/San Francisco) and I was spending some time wiht her..totally forgot til i woke up this morning. since i had planned on being there live, i hadnt set up a list of players. so now my team is horrrrrrrrrrrrible.........some of my guys arent even going to play.

so thats my whine story...........yikes. i wish i had remembered.

so if anyone wants to make trades, please let me know.

[OILFAN #81]

I have an abundance of quality starting pitchers available for a bat. If you need starting pitching (I have 10 good SP's......) then let me know so we can get this trade action going!

[Pagal4321]

7 moves before the season starts?? That's more then DOUBLE my amount of moves all last season....

Can you TELL someone's not happy with their team?

[Jiggy_12]

My team has alot of power, I'm looking to trade some away. Giambi, Thome, and Young are available for pitching, SS, or 1B.

[flambers]

My team is ready to go, but if a good starting pitcher is available "Blue Jay Rules" would be interested.

[kipperfan]

I have some questions about the "kipperfanians" but I dont want to make any moves before the season starts. Well.....I do have one waiver pickup pending......but that will be all for me, for a while anyway.

[OILFAN #81]

Again, teams looking for SP, contact me! Halladay and Zito I doubt would be moved but I have:

Kenny Rogers (17-8 last year)
Brad Penny (16-9 last year)

And then a step below them:
Gil Meche
Livan Hernandez
Esteban Loaiza
Mark Buehrle

[OilersBaby]

if any CP people want tix to Oakland games, I have connections and can hook you up..so if you're goin to be in Oakland, lemme know! They're bleacher seats in the outfield, not that great, but hey, they're free;)

Damn. Wish I was 21. Really no point in going to a baseball game if you can't sit in the sun and enjoy a brew.

Again, teams looking for SP, contact me! Halladay and Zito I doubt would be moved but I have:

Kenny Rogers (17-8 last year)
Brad Penny (16-9 last year)

And then a step below them:
Gil Meche
Livan Hernandez
Esteban Loaiza
Mark Buehrle

LOL, the rumour has it Kenny Rogers is out for 3 months.....

With the trade deadline in the league tomorrow, I have sent out a bunch of trade offers to teams in contention. Have a look. I have sent significant players off my roster in these offers.

Hey guys,
Seems someone has sent me some concerns about pending trades. I cannot view these trades at work, but he brings up good points. Go see his SECOND post in the league discussion area....apparently his first one was quite the rant.
I will review the trades once I get home. And it seems I'm the only one who can make any veto'ing decisions on trades....what a lovely position for me.

So Playoffs start today. Good luck to the other 5 teams, I am excited to defend my 2006 crown!

My team finished strong and secured 2nd place ..... thus earning the Bye.

Hopefully I can get back to the finals and this time win...instead of second place last year......:whaa:

the 16-0-4 in the last week to snatch a bye (away from me) was impressive.

After sitting on top for a good 6 or 8 weeks injuries almost cost me a playoff spot. I managed to squeek in but I do not know if I have the horses to pull it off.

[flambers]

Well it looks like the same two teams from last season who were in the finals are in the finals once again this year............ :)

Hopefully my team can show a stronger performance...

Sweet, a rematch. What are the odds of that?

Well, good luck. and remember, finals are 2 weeks.

[Jiggy_12]

Woohoo! Victory is mine!

Tough luck again, flambers. Still pretty impressive to make the final twice in a row. Maybe we'll meet again next season? Thanks to everyone who put in the time to make it competitive again. I will be back to three-peat next season!

[flambers]

Congrats Jiggy!

I'm happy with my 3rd place finish. The top half of the league were all solid fantasy players.

'grats Jiggles.
