The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Fantasy MLB slowdraft: Results are live, make sure your teams are right
Same rules as last year: random draft order, snake draft, 24 hours to pick. Signups open but returning managers will be given preference. Please sign up in purple so I 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. EDIT: Except I believe the consensus was to up the min. innings pitched to a much higher level so you can't win pitching every week by having five closers.
Funny pictures to go along with picks are appreciated.
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.
Sure I'll sign up!, with the return of Tigers Need Grandy.

I'm intrigued, but being on the quarter system this falls exactly during midterms and would cover all the way to finals for me so I'll be fairly occupied.
If you need another team I'm in, but otherwise I'll leave it to somebody who can dedicate themselves more appropriately.
Concerning the innings pitched, I vote we go for 21. That way you're looking at possibly three starters going 7 innings. Mixing in another starter and some relievers you should be able to hit the minimum easily each week.
League is made and email should be out to all managers from last year.
It is! Thanks for re-upping it, dots!
I'm Spirited Scrappers again. I lost my Super status after my performance last year. I'll have to work hard this year to power up to Super Scrapper levels again.
As far as a name goes I might need a day to think about it.
EDIT:
I was trying to think of something better, and maybe a little less lowbrow than "I've got the runs", but it kept making me chuckle so I guess I'll go with that.

That is, when it's your turn to pick, you have a day (12 hours? I can't remember the specifics) to pick, otherwise your pick is skipped until you come back. When you do come back you're allowed to make a pick as soon as you can, the only downside being that whomever you may have picked may have already been picked, yes?
With the second pick, I'm going to take Hanley Ramirez.
He doesn't have enough funny pictures. Or enough where I could find them.

edit: The Fruit F-er All-Stars will (hopefully) make a much better showing.
The Spirited Scrappers are signing up!
I have no idea what to do for a team name yet.
I do not see any purple in this post!
I don't use purple. It's the color of the Lakers.
I'll sign up.
I'll just be the Funky Motherfunkers for this.
Increased innings sounds good - I don't really care what we decide, but we need to make it official before the draft starts!

I've been the Local Sports Team the last couple of years.

I don't expect all managers to re-up and you are number two on the list of new managers so there's a pretty good chance you'll get in.
Edit: Also, seems like Paul Janish will be an everyday player, so I may have to change my team name. That won't work at all!
Edit: I guess "Motorcycles and Battle Gimics" is the best i can do for now.

Just wanted to make sure there wasn't any confusion.
Sorry to those of you that didn't make the cut.
We're going with the stats as listed on the league page unless people want it changed.
Guys that got in that didn't play last year: PM me your email address so I can send you an invite.
PM me your email address so I can invite you.
Pick eleven, dang...

I'm moving up in the world!!!!
edit- Another year, another top 5 pick.

This.
I did a random mock ESPN one today for shits and giggles ... whoa boy my team turned out awful ... or awesome if it was 2005.
Regardless, this should be interesting ... over/under number of homer picks (Pirates) I have? I put the bar at 1.5 ...
If it ends up being over, well good luck to everyone else lol ...
