Pitchers and catchers are reporting soon. That means it is time to draft.

http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/dnd


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.

Probably 12-14 players will get in.


Draft order:
1. fortis
2. qonas
3. adren
4. junior yank
5. zeeny
6. justin
7. y2jake215
8. schide
9. dots
10. PizzleStixx
11. lava
12. cauld
13. plushy
14. zombie hero

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.

    My team was a major turd last year, I need retribution, so SIGN UP and I can't wait to thaw out.

    edit: The Fruit F-er All-Stars will (hopefully) make a much better showing.

    Increased innings sounds good - I don't really care what we decide, but we need to make it official before the draft starts!

    Agreed on the innings, how early did we start last year? I remember the middle rounds got a wee-bit long.

    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.

    Sure, I'll give it another go!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I'd be interested in getting involved in this.


    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.

    Same rules as last year, dots?

    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?

    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 ...
