Fantasy Baseball

[Brownies1989]

Hey Fellow Indians Fans...I need two players for my Fantasy baseball league on ESPN...any takers post or send me an email and ill get a invite out too yall.

I am interested.....but, would be more interested in getting a league set up with PSD posters from the Cleveland forums. We did one for football last season and it was pretty enjoyable.

I would be willing to set it up....I prefer ESPN or CBS to any other format. If interested, send me a PM and we can get things rolling (especially before my baseball season gets under way).

Not to hijack the thread....but.

Here is what I am looking at.

ESPN 10 team league (could bump up to 12 if enough interest)
head to head weekly points
1 starter at each IF position, 5 OF (regardless of position), a MI, CI, and Utility
5 SP, 2 RP, and 3 Pitchers (could be SP or RP based on owner preference)
Bench of 9 players and 3 DL slots

Categories to be scored
total bases (1), RBI (1), runs (1), BB (1), SB (1), K (-1)
innings pitched (3), wins (5), losses (-5), earned run (-2), saves (5), hits allowed (-1), K (1), walk allowed (1)

At this point, all of these settings are up for debate and can be changed. I was thinking of decreasing the number of points lost for a loss to (-3), adding blown saves as a category (-2...hesitant because this often also results in a loss), decreasing the points lost for ER (-1), adding caught stealing (-1), and adding holds category for relievers (2).

Hopefully we can find enough people to make this league a reality...full of trash talk, not that this would be an issue with some of us on the Tribe boards...lol!

count me in!

I'm a fan of Yahoosports though, thats where all my throphies are lol. Although i won our ESPN football leauge.

[Bruzor12]

I would be in as well

[Brownies1989]

I would be into it aswell

[browniebuck]

look at the aspects of the league that I posted...let me know if there is anything that you would want changed, altered, omitted, something I overlooked. We can then have a conversation about it on here and hopefully find a league that we can all be happy with.

PM me with an e-mail address that I can send the invite to...once we have at least 8 teams, we can figure out a draft date and time as well.

[browniebuck]

Up to 5 teams at this point. Prodigy, Melo, Bruzor, Brownies, and myself.

Arch and Otto would be a nice additions...Geronimo, OneTuzSea, ClevelandSpider, JustinLafferty, Sacco, Bigalow, vikingsfan...if we can get all of us in, we could have a nice league! If we need to increase the number of teams, I would be willing to...the more teams, the deeper you have to go in order to find players (depending on how many teams, would possibly have to change the pitching set-up to account for number of available closers and/or adjust to increase value for non-closing relievers).

Looking forward to doing this. Thanks for the invite fellas.

[GeronimoSon]

Sorry fellas.. I belong to three leagues already.. Over the years, I've found that these three dynasty/keeper leagues take as much time as I want to give to FF Baseball.. Have a fun league and don't let Sacco cheat if he joins....

[browniebuck]

Booooooooooooo...was looking forward to some serious trash talk throughout the season with you. What's a 4th league??????

Are you in my league in DC?

[prodigy]

its alright you woulda lost anyway.

[Arch Stanton]

Yeah what kind of commitment does this take? I'll be out of the country for a few weeks. I feel like MLB fantasy takes a bit more than NFL. Here's my email archstantoneastwoodgold@gmail.com ... Count me in if you want.
