2016 GWJ Fantasy Baseball League Discussion Thread (Week 9 Matchups)

I've never really played anything but standard rules. I'm willing to try any of these twists to see how they play. I would be worried about player depth though with 2 catchers.

Quality starts is a great idea. I agree it might be hard to find 2 catchers in an NL only league. It does give incentive to draft a catcher before the last round though...Can't wait to get started!

So what day time ...?

Wednesday 9:30pm Eastern seems best for most people. That's the last day everyone that responded was available. Kush, do you have the league up? Need time for people to join.

Wednesday night it is. I literally just came on to ask when the best date/time was, thanks ukick for handling this.

I have made an executive decision, I know that I held a vote for the hosting site, and even voted for ESPN, but due to the incompetence at ESPN (issue in another league, they refuse to remove our "league creator and reassign said power to one of the two current owners with League Management right until the current League Creator, who already deactivated his account, reactivated his account and posts a request on the league message board to reassign the league creator role". He is currently sitting as a 2nd owner on another team, which is unfair to said player, especially when money is involved), I have decided to reactivate the Yahoo league. I have off today, so I am going to get this squared away by noon EDT today.

If you were in the league last year, I think you should be fine. If not, please create a Yahoo account and let me know your username to send you an invite.

My apologies for the last minute change-up

Just realizing that no matter what site we're dealing with, incompetence on site management is going to happen. Just reactivated the league, what a cluster f*** this is going to be, apparently, the keeper setting was switched on at some point, but there is no option to change keeper settings.

Why can't these site ever keep things simple?

Please note, I would still do ESPN and Yahoo without question over CBS.

FYI, to claim my spot in the league, I had to go to yahoos fantasy baseball page and click on an "accept invite" button. It didn't automatically put me in.

I have the draft date set, I need to clear out old owners. Shag has actually accepted his invite. Since I don't entirely trust that everyone will sign up by Wednesday night, I am leaving him in there for now.

I am also starting to update team names with their owners. Last year, it was requested and I never got to it. Easier if I do it as teams sign up.

My Yahoo username is [email protected] (I think). Just made the account.

Thanks. If I knew that I was on standby, I would have waited.

Yeah, shame I didn't say anything

I posted my availability for drafting. Right now, we have 8, with Shag26 a possibility to return. If we can't get a 10th, he won't play.

With that said, we may have a 10th, I am willing to push the draft back, especially since Jayhawker is MIA, not doing this without him.

As long as we stay within the availability we polled on, I'm cool with delaying the draft.

I would rather draft by Friday, since the season starts Sunday. I know Thursday is good for most people.

Sorry, sorry.

I never got an invite or email. If you post the link, I will sign up in short order.

Sorry.

Edit- Okay, found my way in, accepted invite, and in all squared away.

Again, sorry for the delay.

I need an invite still...

We still doing Wednesday night then? If not I need to make arrangements.

Pushing back is cool with me as I would have had to coach little league and draft at the same time on wenesday

Invite sent. I pushed this back to tomorrow night at 9pm to give me time to make sure everything is set.

Do we want to go Mixed or NL-Only? If we go mixed, I would add an OF and Utility.

If we have 10, I'm good with Mixed.

Yeah, I forgot to mention, we have 10. Not sure who Isotopes is, but they renewed.

I like mixed better.

I'm going to go ahead with Mixed League.

I need vote on rosters:

Option A: C-1b-2b-3b-SS-(4)OF-(3)Util
Option B: (2)C-1b-2b-3b-SS-CI-MI-(4)OF-(1)Util

First Option to 5 votes wins, that way, we have a tie-breaker.

Pitching will remain 4 SP, 2 RP, 2 P

**EDIT**

Here is the info for the teams in the league:
1. Pineapple Express (Kush15)
2. Jayhawkers (Jayhawker): Option A
3. Shelby-ville (ukickmydog)
4. Cap City Capitals (Kyekye)
5. Gio's FlippyFloppys (GioClark): Option A
6. Deano's Team (SniPeZ-): Option A
7. Grape Apes (BoShock): Option B
8. Karma Dragons (gomorra3): Option B
9. Duane's Dandy Team (Shag26): Option A
10. Isotopes (nightelfmohawk): Option A

mixed please

Option A looks good to me.

Option A

Option B

Option A

Both will work but option B is better

4-2 in favor of Option A currently.
