Pucks R Us - Fantasy League - Please read

[jdigae01]

guys -
i have 3 invites outstanding and if they are accepted we just need two more guys to fill the 12 man league. otherwise we will just go with 10.

 

[VegasVic]

10 is fine by me

 

[artiesliver]

Sounds good w/either 12 or 10.

Have a live fantasy draft at 8am-will go in and accept invites after

JD. Whats the deal with all the pitchers? Man that sure seems like WAY too many per team to me.

Thats not gonna leave any room for pickups after the draft.

If I can suggest we cut that back a bit.

I joined another team the other day to draft a team to get an idea of how the draft MAY go for us and that league has set it at 9 active pitchers [Starters or RP] and 2 for their bench. I'm not saying thats the perfect mix but when I look at our league and see so many pitchers we have to draft......the number just seems a little high. Does anyone else agree? Or disagree?

Wife and son entered today
IMO--WAYYYY too many pitchers
That makes 10 people--if you need 1 more let me know

 

[Bushay]

suggestion:

cut out the 2b/ss and one outfielder and cut the pitchers down to 10 IF we stay at 10 players. 2 bench hitters and 2 bench pitchers and one DL.

My vote

10 Teams (one per household...)
Cut M/I and C/I
Use LF CF RF and not 4 OF
3 Starters
2 Relief
2 Closers

DL 2

:drink:

With only 10 teams that leaves a LOT of good players on the waiver wire and unused. With 12 that many is a little more understandable, but still too few in my opinion.

Theres a lot of middle relief guys in the league.

3 starters
3 relievers
3 middle men
2-3 bench

1b
2b
ss
3b

The league I'm in now, (12 teams 5x5 head to head), has:

9 pitchers
c
1b
2b
3b
ss
mi
ci
5 OF
1 utility
5 bench
2 DL

27 active players...22 of which are in the lineup every day.
all pitchers are in starting lineup every day.

works for me

Are we all in agreement for a $50 post up and do you think we can get this draft done before the Red Sox sow up the east?

 

[artiesliver]

$50 works for me. Will we have a mod hold it?

 

[wannabewhale]

What in the world could I have said that needed to be edited by SportsSavant??

Yes-have someone hold--Already had OTK stiff for $1750 in this forum this year

NO way--after they beat TB today to open the Rays will never lead!!!

Barman has already offered his services....minus the usual cut. ;

guys - we have made some progress. we have 10 but must get 12 because espn wont let me change the settings now for some reason so we need two more.

i have also cut the number of players and also pitchers to be more in line with the other leagues.

LETS GET TWO MORE PEOPLE AND DRAFT THIS WEEK.

 

[Vancouverfan]

should we make a post in the baseball or fantasy forums?? Now that the actual season is underway, the baseball forum will be a very busy place.

 

[jdigae01]

i have been posting my face off in those forums but nothing at all.

perhaps you guys might have more luck?

 

[Bushay]

I'm on vacation this week so i won't see as many people as normal. Let me send a notice to the 2 guys I just got to join. Maybe they have some friends that play as well.
