MLB fantasy slowdraft 2013 Draft is complete

deadonthestreet

You should know how this works by now! If not, well, we do a fantasy league like normal, only we draft on the forums over the course of a couple months rather than in an hour on Yahoo.


recycled rules from from last year

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 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!

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.

To sign up, post here with your team name. Goal is 14 teams. Priority goes to returning managers. Sign up quick, we need to start drafting.

Draft order:
There were 14 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

PED Dispensers
Spirited Scrappers
Swarms of Things
Toradol Tornadoes
dots
Local Sports Team
Team that hasn't joined yet
R'lyeh Rebels
Alexis Texas Rangers
Olowakandi from Baby
The Human Cespedes
Funky Motherfunkers
Machado About Nothin
Durion Eaters

I'll be a new manager if there is space after the returners.

Team name shall be, if lucky enough to get in, Durion Eaters.

deadonthestreet

If you guys want to recruit people that would be rad.

After the travesty of the 2009 all-stars team I drafted last year, the R'lyeh Rebels are back and ready for redemption.

Those are the best kind of team.

TheScruple

I committed the fantasy baseball mortal sin of being "that asshole" who didn't pay attention at all towards the end of last season. I will defer to others who may want in. If you can't get enough people, or just want more, the Alexis Texas Rangers will come crawling back.

Braun tied to PEDs again

TheScruple

I might actually believe him this time around. It seems perfectly plausible for his lawyers to hire a PED expert not affiliated with MLB to consult or testify on their behalf.

Not that it matters, since he'll probably get 50 games just from the public outrage anyway.

Edit: This will, of course, lead to someone drafting him way early and still getting a massive bargain when he's not suspended.

PizzleStixx

The Fruit F-er All-Stars are back, but management has decided to change the team name to ....

The Human Cespedes

fortis

I'm in again. Got the email and signed up on Yahoo.

Zombie Hero

Yeah, Im in. Going to change my team name. I look forward to using my first three picks on busts and then cutting the best player in baseball again.

deadonthestreet

We are at 9 in the actual league now. If you signed up and don't have an invite pm me your email address please.

PizzleStixx

I didn't expect sign-ups to be this slow, we are already planning draft stuff in the SE++ league.

Schide

Yeah, we kinda need to start the draft pretty soon, don't we?

TheScruple

I got the invite for the league last year on Valentine's Day, but I was one of the last people to be in. I think the draft started that day or the day after.

Zombie Hero

If we have an odd number of players, i dont mind bowing out to even it up if we can't find another

y2jake215

I have a friend who was interested, he hasn't joined yet though (he's a PAer)

deadonthestreet

C'mon folks this needs to start yesterday please sign up and send me a pm if you aren't already in the yahoo league so I can invite you.

y2jake215

this year's teams are gonna be so stacked compared to last year's
word

Schide

I just asked in the G&T thread if anyone wanted to join and to PM dots if they did. Hopefully we can get at least one more person so we can start soon.

Mr. Hibbert

I do declare my desire to sign up for this

Mr. Hibbert - Taking Olowakandi from a Baby

deadonthestreet

If you want in send me a PM with your email address. We are at 12 right now. The next two PMs I get get in.

deadonthestreet

Ok so we are at 13. We need one more. We need to start drafting. Here is the draft order.


PED Dispensers
Spirited Scrappers
Swarms of Things
Toradol Tornadoes
dots
Local Sports Team
Team that hasn't joined yet

yotes

Mike Trout!



Eh, close enough.

@deadonthestreet what's the Spirited Scrappers' forum name?

yotes

Guess it's @LavaKnight , maybe?

Schide

Yay. Come on one more team!

And yeah, we need forum names and a link to the new draft sheet.

y2jake215

damn. 13th? laaaame

Guess I WAS 2nd last year, now that I think about it

davidsdurions

Don't feel so bad, I'm effin last.

TheScruple

Man, I hate being close to the middle. I was 2nd-to-last last year, wasn't so bad.

davidsdurions

Does snake draft mean I go last in first round, then first in second round, or is it more complicated than that?

TheScruple

Yup, you get back-to-back picks every 2 rounds.

davidsdurions

Cool, I've been in this position before, but not in slow draft. I'll do my best not to take up 2 whole days on my picks.

y2jake215

I like anywhere really. Back to back or very close picks are nice because you can snag two guys you want, but you also have to really reach sometimes. I'm gonna have to go look and see who I can even get. Wonder how far Braun falls with the PED stuff THIS year

Cauld

I can rejoin this league. I was considering it, but I thought I'd give other people a try. I haven't been very active in the basketball league, but I'm more of a baseball than basketball fan.
