Most of this OP shamelessly stolen from
@deadonthestreet 's thread last year
Baseball season is bearing down on us, and with it comes the hallowed game of Fantasy Baseball! The draft will be conducted over the next few weeks, so if you draft Prince Fielder with your first pick, and he decides to become juice-fasting yogi a week before the season starts, you can't change your pick!

Same rules as last year: random draft order, snake draft, 24 hours to pick. Signups are open but returning managers will be given preference. We had 14 teams last year, and currently have eight or nine returning managers, or maybe more, leaving around five open spots. We may be able to have more than 14 teams if interest is high, though, so if you are interested by all means contact us! PMs with email addresses should be sent to
@deadonthestreet or myself, and we will add as we can!
Please sign up in
purple so we can see it.
Things you'll need to play:
A Yahoo account
Preferably a Google account so I don't have to enter your draft picks for you into the spreadsheet.
A name for your team.
How it works:
We draft teams of baseball players here on the forums. The person that picks the players with the best stats wins. We'll probably have the same stats count as last year unless people want to do something different.
Funny pictures to go along with picks are appreciated.
Draft order:
PizzleStixx
Y2Jake215
Lava
Yotes
dots
fortis
Cauld
Zombie Hero
Schide
zeeny
Plushy
Junior Yank
Scruple
Adrenaline
After you pick, send the next person in line a PM. Send me a PM so I can give you access to the spreadsheet so you can enter your picks there as well as the forum.
Here is a link to last year's draft in case you are interested in seeing how that played out.

I think the most I had last year was the actual draft. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...probably not because it means I didn't do very good in the standings.
He's back and ready for action!
What managers from last year haven't come back yet, should we send them a pm?
But this year, someone else can draft a top-tier pitcher only to have him go down for the season the next day.
As I mentioned before, we can probably increase the number of teams in the league by two to 16, making it a decently deep league, if there is enough interest, but I have a feeling (based on PA activity) that a few of the non-reporting managers wont renew.
Pfff. Fantasy baseball with less tha 16 is barely worthy of the name;oP
(...of 4th place finishes)
The Alexis Texas Rangers will do it nice & slow.
Yotes and Scruple pm me or lava for an invite
Also, I think this is the highest I have drafted in a while, maybe ever.
I've never had the #1 pick before, I'm scared.
edit - Can I trade down?!?!?

Really?
I think we had a trade of picks last year, but in the interest of keeping things sane, let's not for right now. Especially for the first round.
Ugh
WITH THE #1 OVERALL PICK IN THE 2012 (what the fuck is this league called again ... ) D&D DRAFT, THE FRUIT FUCKER ALL-STARS SELECT:
Wait, Miguel Cabrera doesn't play for the Marlins anymore? Ok ...
Wait, he doesn't look like that anymore? What does that even mea- ...
Oh no ...
How did he get so fat???
He's so big!
HE'S A FUCKING PUMA?!?!?!?
Oh man, I hope Miggy is ready to play this year, because if not, my team will look like this:
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
I will pick in the morning. Though it's not a very hard choice at this point.
I had a dream that somebody picked Melky Cabrera with their first pick. I guess that's what I get for thinking about fantasy before falling asleep!
I want no risk with my first rounder so I go The Consistent Mr. Poopholes in his brand new uniform, and hope this isn't the year the bottom falls out.
Wait, no
Nope
Nuh uh
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
Yeah, sorry. I was deciding, then the forums went down, so I went to sleep. Tossed and turned over this decision. Went with Albert over some riskier but higher upside picks because last year I struggled all year with Longoria and Stanton as 1st and 2nd rounders not giving me 1st and 2nd round results.
God, I hate picking early, I honestly WOULD have traded down if I could haha
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here

Listening to Bronson Arroyo's Album:
I just woke up, not my fault everyone's picking at 3am my time.
Edit: Invited! If anyone cares to have access to the spreadsheet, feel free to shoot me your email address and I can add you. Don't feel obligated to do it yourself, though, any of us should be on top of it. My desire for tidiness ensures that I usually prioritize it, even at work.
wait what???
Ummmmmm
Matt Kemp is similar...ish?
Yeah, that guy. At least my guy has a bow tie!
