Tullaryx, Thor and I all have expressed interest in a Fantasy League for the upcoming Major League Baseball season. It looks to be a fun year with many surprises and who knows who'll be the best in the AL. Early signs say the Mets are the team to beat in the NL, but its the Mets and its the crazy NL where any team can be good now.
If you like Baseball and want to join, Shoot Tullaryx or myself a PM. Tull is going to be the GM as far as I know. _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

I'll get the league set-up this weekend. Hopefully we can get three more players to have a minimum 8 player league. As I've told Red I'll beusing as many statistical categories that's closer to sabermetrics than just using the traditional stats. _________________

I agree, there's plenty of players who are really good but because they're stuck on non-productive teams like KC, Cincinnati and Texas, they get overlooked. One big case is Adam Dunn, while yes he WILL be drafted, he suffers in the RBI category because most of his homers are solo shots or maybe a 2 run dinger because the rest of his team can't get on base. He's definitely worth taking regardless, however he loses on the RBI category and thats usually a dogfight category every matchup. _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

Before I set-up the league on Yahoo I'll post the stat categories I'll be using for hitters and pitchers both. I know that WHIP for pitchers is a must and OPS for hitters. _________________

You might also want to explain some of the lesser known categories too, just in case we don't know what they are. Sabermetrics is a funky art and I'm not as versed in it as I'd like to be. _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

Ok, the league is set-up rotisserie style since we may end up not having an even number of players joining up.
Suikox Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League
League ID#: 194604
League Name: Suikox
Go to Join Existing League, then Join Custom. It will then prompt you to input the League ID# and the password I PMed to those who said they'll sign-up.
PM me for the password for anyone else still wishing to join.
The stat categories will be as follow.
Hitters
H - Hits
HR - Home Runs
BB - Walks
TB - Total Bases
OBP - On Base Percentage
SLG - Slugging Percentage
XBH - Extra Base Hits
Pitchers
TBF - Total batters faced
HR - Home Runs allowed
BB - Walks
K - Strikeouts
TB - Total Bases allowed
ERA - Earned Run Average
WHIP - Walks + Hits per Inning Pitched
To give more people time to research and pre-rank their players I'll set up the draft for March 30 (Sunday) at 12pm PST. Even though the official start of the regular season is March 25th this league will start everything at March 31st the day after the draft. _________________

:( I was hoping we'd start it up on the 22nd so we can get in before the beginning of regular season. _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

I could still change it but with the live draft times pretty much taken leading up to the 25th it would be tough for everyone to try and make it to the available time. _________________

Well, it looks like the guy who usually runs the fantasy league I'm part of finally started his again. He's a much better commisioner than I and originally he was the one I spoke to Red about. So, those still interested in joining should go to that league and I'll put the ID number and password below.
ID No. 201741
password: gurus
Sage was one from here who joined in the football league last season and almost won it all. So, disregard the league I've made and go to this one instead. _________________

Not me, but then you're probably just experiencing a heavy traffic problem when you tried to register. Happens to me in the weeks leading up to any start of a fantasy league. Just have to try at different times. _________________

We're currently at seven people, and it says if we have an odd number we can't do the draft. _________________ Legendary Locke
