Fantasy Baseball: 2008-09 Offseason

[Houlie24x]

I think you can get more for Ichiro.

[ILuvDaBush]

I think you're giving up the two best players in that trade. And I hate Yankees. But the Wang name opens doors, like Magglio doors. Foor Ichiro, if you're looking for power, what about Vlad? I think he's in line for a bounceback year, and the Angels' youth has to sprout soon. Otherwise, a good source for power this year is catcher. Maybe McCann+ for Ichiro?

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I started a league on ESPN so if anyone is interested, PM me your email, and I'll send you an invite. I made it a head to head points league, but we can change that if there is a different preference.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Just out of curiousity, do people prefer Head to Head points, Head to Head Categories, or Rotisserie?

Just FYI Yahoo's Fantasy Baseball 09' is now up and running.

I'm in a NL only 5x5 league, and our overall salary is $280 for the 25 man roster, I just traded Jarrod Parker, who is in my farm system for Aaron Harang who is signed for $10. Do you guys think this is a good trade, I think it was worth taking a chance that he would rebound into 2007 form.

Last year we had a Brewerfan league on yahoo that was more of a laid back type of fantasy. Lots of utility spots and no bench players so everyone on your team played from week to week. I thought it was great, especially for those who don't have a lot of time to sink into day to day fantasy sports. If anyone is interested in joining a league like that this year post here or shoot me a pm and I will set it up.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

We got 3 people in my head to head points league so far. Keep em coming.

[GoudaBrew]

I need some opinions on league expansion:

 

The league is expanding from 8 to 10 teams. It's a standard 5 x 5 h2h league.

 

We keep 3 players (1 pitcher)

 

My question is, where should the expansion teams pick in the draft?

They'll get good keepers like Cabrera, Teixera, Rollins, Hamilton, Peavy, and Hamels. So they are not at any disadvantage as far as player quality.

 

Should they pick last? First? In the middle somewhere?

[zzzmanwitz]

Has anyone started a keeper league yet? If so, who do I contact? If not, I can start one. Send me PM if you are interested in a 10 or 12 team Mixed-league Keeper.

We usually stick expansion teams in the middle. I think it's all around fair that way.

I just joined Rillo's ESPN league. Others should PM him if inerested, as it could use a few more teams.

[samwise]

I just got into Rillo's league as well. I am the 1/2 tool player, sorta fast...

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I can make the one I created a keeper league. That would be fun. PM me your email if you want in.

[ILuvDaBush]

I think we should make the Rillo league keeper. At least one guy....

[giffted1]

Still could use a few more teams in Rillo's league.

[razzzorsharp]

Houlie, I sent you a PM about the opening in the BF.net Keeper league.

[JoeH33]

I'd be interested in joining 'Rillo's keeper league. I just sent you a pm.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

We currently have 15 teams in so I'd like to add one more to make it an even number. PM me if you want the last spot.

[zzzmanwitz]

Have you sent invites yet Rillo? I haven't received one as of yet.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I must have forgotten to send yours. Try now. Sorry.

[zzzmanwitz]

Is the draft date set in stone? I know its going to be difficult to get 16 people together at one time, but just wanted to know if there would be any discussion on it.

[Nader Raider Tim]

Not recruiting for a league just a question / request.

 

I am starting a league with some of my friends and half of them have never done a Fantasy Baseball League. I would like to find a cheat sheet that has the player stats included. This would help a ton in helping people to build more balanced roster, but I am having trouble finding any kind of cheat sheet like this. Anyone know where I can find something like that? If I can't find one I will probably just make one but I would prefer not to put that much time in.

 

Also are there any decent guides for new players. I think I have explained things in depth but I would like to try and prepare people as much as possible.
