2008 MLB Fantasy Game

[MedicCook]

I have started a fantasy league for the members of s0lidgr0und. Right now it is set up for 10 teams. I have it set up for an auto draft to make life easier for us. It is a private league through ESPN. If you are interested either post or PM me you email address so that I can send you the invite.

[Mikey]

got it, i joined. So i see we have a pitching inning limit, that should be interesting.

[MedicCook]

I menat to ditch that. I got tired last night setting everything up. Let me change that now.

Changed.

[Mikey]

that's fine....i just saw that, so i was like that should be interesting. It's ok that you were tired...but it should be a good league.

[MedicCook]

I gave some points for defense and you lose points for your players screwing up also. Most leagues only focus on offensive numbers and never take away points for hitting into a double play or making an error.

[sws4420]

I've never done any fantasy sports stuff before, so I'll probably suck at it.

You're all welcome.

[MedicCook]

It should be fun.

[MedicCook]

So far myself & Mikey are the only two signed up. Bill & Jess you still have to follow the link in the email sent to you.

Plenty of space for more people to join. It is a very simple league setup.

[MedicCook]

Jess is now on board.

[trojanmiro]

i dont really follow baseball enough. i only pay attention like beginning and end of the season. with as many games as these guys play a week i assume you gotta keep up on it for pitching and rotation and shit. is it anything like how fantasy football is set up?

[MedicCook]

You can have you team pretty low maint if you want. The initial draft is going to be automatic so we don't have to spend hours trying to do a live draft. The site will just do a random sorting of players.

[Mikey]

yeah auto draft would be good for all of us since we are all on different schedules. I have a feeling some will whine about the players they have, lol. But it's fun to do.

[brattychickjess]

I whine anyway LOL

[Mikey]

lol....we should give you all red sox players just for that, lol.:giggles:

[MedicCook]

yeah auto draft would be good for all of us since we are all on different schedules. I have a feeling some will whine about the players they have, lol. But it's fun to do.

That is where dropping players and trading comes into play.

[brattychickjess]

I'll hunt you down and beat you!

[MedicCook]

There are some good Red Sox players though. Beckett & Ortiz are both good point getters in fantasy.

[Mikey]

yeah i can see a few red sox players being very good in fantasy. Bring it jess, i was in your town back for sectional football, lol..

[MedicCook]

I have always stayed away from fantasy baseball because most leagues insist on a live draft and try to make it as complicated as possible to play. I looked at a bunch of different sites that host them and ESPN had the easiest site to set up and play.

[Mikey]

yahoo is pretty easy as well, they have both options. I like the live draft cause you get to think of the players w/ the certain categories that you have in that league that will help you to win...plus i like it cause i get to pick the players i like most of the time

[MedicCook]

It's hard getting a good time for everyone to do the draft also. Look at how hard it is for us to find a day for a group get outing.

[trojanmiro]

I whine anyway LOL

no shit.

if it comes down to the end and you need someone to fill the void then ill do it.

[brattychickjess]

no shit.


I learned it from the best :wub:

[Mikey]

yeah true ryan...i think we'd go crazy trying to find a time for all of us to do a live draft....so i'm fine w/ a auto. Just add and trade.

[MedicCook]

Now we just need to get a few more people to hop on.

[Mikey]

that we do.

[Bob]

I'm game for this.

[Venus]

COUNT ME IN!

[MedicCook]

I'm game for this.

What email address you want it sent to?


COUNT ME IN!

Sent.

[Dave]

Thanks Ryan. I'm in. I joined. I've never done a fantasy league of any kind before. Should be interesting.

[MedicCook]

Still room for more people in s0lidgr0unds fantasy baseball league. So far we have myself, Mikey, Jess and Dave, with Bill, Bob and Sandy still to register.

[Mikey]

that's cool...just a few more teams.

[MedicCook]

10 is the minimum I would like. Hopefully we can hit it. Still have a month before the draft.

[Mikey]

yeah that's true.

[MedicCook]

Maybe some of the hockey members will get into it. I know there are a few baseball fans in there.

[wcs71401]

I would like to play if you still have room. I haven't played fantasy baseball on ESPN before. Let me know. jginder@capitalregionsports.com

[MedicCook]

Invite has been sent John.

[wcs71401]

thank you all signed up

[MedicCook]

Excellent.

[Mikey]

yeah ask away. To bad i missed that deadline for the hockey league, i would have so joined that.

[MedicCook]

yeah ask away. To bad i missed that deadline for the hockey league, i would have so joined that.

Next year Mikey.

[Mikey]

true

[MedicCook]

We are up to 8 teams in the league. Still some openings for anyone who wants to join.

[MedicCook]

*bump*

[Mikey]

yeah....if no one wants to join, i'd go w/ the 8.

[MedicCook]

We currently have 8 teams in the league looking for 2 more people to join to give up a 10 team league. The auto-draft is March 20th. Let me know if you want to join.

[MedicCook]

Still looking for 2 more people to make it a 10 team league. I will give it to the weekend and if there is no more interest I will make it an 8 team league.

[Mikey]

i have a feeling it's going to be 8 teams.

[MedicCook]

Which will be fine with me. Opening day is getting close!!

[Mikey]

yeah it is, i can't wait. Only downer for me is that the braves are on peachtree, where in the fuck can i see peachtree tv.

[MedicCook]

You would benefit from getting the MLB TV on the computer. You won't be blacked out up here.

[Mikey]

yeah you're prolly right. Just don't feel like paying what ever it is for it.

[MedicCook]

I think if you do it monthly it is under $20.

[Mikey]

oh, i'll look into that.

[sws4420]

$14.95 a month or $89.95 for the year.

[MedicCook]

I looked into getting it for the Yankees games in 2006 when I had no cable but they would have blacked out every Yankee game up here. It only works if your favorite team is no in the veiwing area that you live.

[sws4420]

I wonder if you can tell the website service that you live in another zip code. Say you live in Texas. Nobody cares about those teams.

[MedicCook]

I think it might work off of the IP address using to access the game at that time.

[sws4420]

Anonymizers.

[MedicCook]

That would make a cool band name.

[sws4420]

:huh:

I guess so.

If you use anonymizers you can make it look like you're watching from Zimbabwe, which I doubt is subject to any blackout restrictions.

[MedicCook]

Is that what all those Ron Paul poller crasher were using?

[sws4420]

Yes. All you do is go to a certain website, which is run off one IP. On that website is an address bar. You type in what site you want to go to from there and it looks like you're actually at the other location.

[Venus]

Hey did we have the draft yet? I believe you said March 15th.
I guess I can log into my account and check itout later myself.

[Mikey]

nah we haven't had it yet venus.

[MedicCook]

I have taken out the 2 empty teams so that our draft will be able to take place next week. If someone wants in before the draft I can add a new team if needed. Here is the draft info.


Type: Autopick Draft
Date: Thu., Mar. 20, 2008
Time: Draft will occur in the early AM.

[Venus]

I can't wait for the draft. I am ready to play ball.

[Mikey]

i can't wait to see who i have on this team.

[sws4420]

Am I winning yet? The suspense is killing me.

[MedicCook]

Yes you are. We are in a 8 way tie for first place.

[Venus]

Yes you are. We are in a 8 way tie for first place.

:rotflmao:

[MedicCook]

I can move up the draft date if anyone wants me to. It is currently set up for the day before the season begins in Japan.

[Venus]

I can move up the draft date if anyone wants me to. It is currently set up for the day before the season begins in Japan.

Whenever you like, Ryan. I am just anxious or the season to start.

[MedicCook]

I wish I could move up the season myself. The spring training games lose a little but of luster after the 5th inning when all the everyday players are removed.

[Bob]

I'd like to do it sooner but it's good the way it is. A day or two now won't really change anything.

[MedicCook]

Draft is tomorrow morning.


Draft Type Autopick Draft
Draft Date March 17, 2008 5:00 AM ET
Allow Draft Pick Trading No
Draft Order Randomized One Hour Prior to Draft Time

[Mikey]

cool...yeah it would suck to wait till the normal time we had.

[Bob]

It's go time for any of you who are in this.

[sws4420]

Great. I can't even fucking get on from work anymore.

My life sucks.

[MedicCook]

The auto draft did a good job creating pretty even teams.

[Bob]

The auto draft did a good job creating pretty even teams.

I'm quite pleased as well. A few minor adjustments but overall good picks. Definitely better than I would've done.

[MedicCook]

I got 2 great relievers with Papelbon & Putz. Some of my role players I will have to do some checking into more later.

[sws4420]

Holy shit. I made out wonderful. We should have made this a money league. :rotflmao:

[MedicCook]

I know my starting pitching is going to need some work.

[Mikey]

yeah i need to make a few changes on my team...only gave me 2 closers. and maybe some other hitters

[MedicCook]

I think everyone got 2 closers.

[Mikey]

yeah usually it's good to have 3.

[MedicCook]

A pretty busy day for transactions.

[MedicCook]

Make sure to get your roster set for opening day which is March 25th in Japan.

[sws4420]

I can't get on from here. I think I fucked up my roster.

[Mikey]

how did you fuck up your roster

[MedicCook]

I can't get on from here. I think I fucked up my roster.

Did you drop someone you wanted to keep?

[sws4420]

I dropped Granderson and tried to get Melky, but I didn't actually check to see if I got him or not.

[MedicCook]

I dropped Granderson and tried to get Melky, but I didn't actually check to see if I got him or not.

Yeah you got Melky. He is on your bench so you will need to move him into the open OF spot. I was surprised to see you drop Granderson. I snagged him real quick, then he goes and breaks his finger. He will be out for 3 weeks so I moved him to the DL and pcked up J.D. Drew who looks to have a hot bat right now.

[Mikey]

yeah i'm picking up a couple people that i'm shocked to see dropped.

[MedicCook]

Just read on ESPN, Scott Rolen one of my 3B just broke his finger also.

[MedicCook]

Anyone who has any Red Sox or A's on their team the first game in tomorrow morning at 6am in Japan.

[brattychickjess]

What the fuck is the link to this god damned thing.

It is ESPN.com and then you click on the fantasy tab for baseball.

[MedicCook]

Sandy is in first place after the 1st game of the season.

[Dave]

Sandy is in first place after the 1st game of the season.

How can you tell? I just looked and the standings show 0's for everybody. My team page shows that I'm in 1st place. This shit confuses me.

[MedicCook]

They have not updated the standings page yet but if you go to some of the other options it shows what points everyone has after the 1st game. Mikey had a bad 1st game, he is in the negative.

[MedicCook]

I am glad I picked up Zimmerman. He hit a walk-off HR!!

[Dave]

Florida makes me nervous this season (so far). They seem to have a pretty determined group of guys.

[MedicCook]

I have 3 probably starting pitchers today. Hopefulyl they will all pitch good and get wins.

[Dave]

I have two so far. Mine shows Jeter being DTD for his hurt pinky.

Not yeah, but hell yeah.

And the fuckin Yanks haven't even played yet.

(Let's make it clear that I have zero idea what I'm doing, but I like being in the lead.)

[MedicCook]

Remember to move you bench guys into active roles if you want their points to count for that game.

Bill you will want to put in Beltre & Young in for Guillen & Braun at least for today so you can be sure to gain points in those 2 positions.

[MedicCook]

Dave make sure you move your players around before the games start today. You have some empty spots that you can fill from your bench.

[Mikey]

boooooooooooooooya, +99 baby!!!! watch out!

[Dave]

Dave make sure you move your players around before the games start today. You have some empty spots that you can fill from your bench.

Thanks. I thought I already did. I'll check it out.

[MedicCook]

You can move Alou to the DL also and pick up another free agent to fill in for him until he comes off.

You watch live updated stats if you click on the box score when viewing your team.

Joakim Soria, RP got me 5 points today. Unfortunately it was a 4 run lead when he closed out the game so no save.

[Mikey]

harden is pitching well again today...good pick up for me, lol.

[MedicCook]

harden is pitching well again today...good pick up for me, lol.

They just took him out after 5 innings and a 0-0 tie.

[MedicCook]

Varitek hooked me up with 9 points today.

[Mikey]

eh, that's fine. I looked at how many points he gave me, i'll take that.

[MedicCook]

I wonder if he got hurt, he was pitching great to only go 5 innings.

[Mikey]

yeah hopefully he's not...maybe it was pitch count

[MedicCook]

I just lost one of my big closer's to the DL. I need to make a big move tomorrow I think. I already have my DL spot filled.

[Mikey]

that sucks...which one?

[MedicCook]

Putz. One of the best closers the last few years.

[Mikey]

damn that does suck

[MedicCook]

Not sure what I am going to do. If I drop him I risk not being able to get him back when he comes off the DL. If I keep him I am losing a pitcher for at least 15 days if not longer.

[Mikey]

yeah true...i'd switch the dl spot if i were you so you could keep him. I know someone would pick him up if you drop him.

[MedicCook]

I just wish they would give an idea how long he will be out. It is a rib cage injury so it could be a long time.

Congrats Ryan!! You get a "over 100 points" trophy!

When I made that trophy the other day I was not expecting to be the first one to get it.

Does anyone have any ideas for other trophies?

[MedicCook]

Bob is starting off good today. He has 2 starting pitchers going.

The thing that put me over the 100 pt mark yesterday was the 5 double plays Giambi was a part of.

[MedicCook]

This is the best part of our league I have found so far.

I had no SP yesterday and 3 of my position players were not playing. We all had a blah day for the most part.

[Dave]

BUT....my blah day put me in first place (for now).

[MedicCook]

That is true. I did some work on my roster this morning.

[Dave]

I haven't had a chance to do that yet.

[MedicCook]

One thing to look at is usually an hour before the game they post the starting lineups and that gives you a last min chance to change around your bench in case your starters are sitting that game.

[MedicCook]

Jess you should consider getting rid of Latroy Hawkins from your team. Middle relievers are not that good to have on a fantasy team since they rarely will get wins (10pts) or saves (5pts).

Thanks.

HR hitters are a big help since even a solo HR will give you 6 points (HR = 4, R = 1, RBI = 1). I also added some fielding + & - so it is not all offense dominated.

I gotta admit I fucking hate that I can't drop this fuckstick Ordonez.

[MedicCook]

I have that problem with Soriano. He is gettign off to a horrible start but he is an undroppable player.

You can always stick him on the bench.

[sws4420]

Or I could shoot him the fucking mouth.

[MedicCook]

Why don't you send ESPN an email for that as an option next year. They could call it the Kennedy Clause.

[sws4420]

Or the Lidle Flight.

[MedicCook]

That would be a cool add on. With 3/4 league approval you can kill off a player on someones team. The catch is that he is gone for the entire season. Only one player can be killed off per team per season.

[sws4420]

Part of me wants to stick with Mussina, but he's been terrible.

Fuck it.

[Mikey]

thanks ryan....i took out of my lineup cause he wasn't hitting anyway, lol

[MedicCook]

He should start hitting anytime now. The problem with him though is he K's a lot.

[Mikey]

yeah. But who knows w/ him. Thankfully i have other players i can put in his spot till he gets hot.

That's it with all the Doubles Posada had last night?!?! :sad:

He had a 1B, 3-2B, 2RBI but also 1 GIDP so that gives him 7 points on the night.
