Fantasy Baseball

This is my fifth year to run a 12-team, semi-keeper league. We’re looking for new owner/GMs for three teams. Here’s what you’ll want to know:

Starting lineups are: 3 LW - 3 C - 3 RW - 4 D - 2 G. Bench is 4 players of any denomination. You may keep a maximum of 4 F, 2 D and 1 G. It’s a head-to-head league. Top 3 in each 6-team division make the playoffs. Dues are $25USD. Payout is: 1st - $175  2nd - $100  3rd - $25 Players on the available teams include: Matthews, Tavares, Eichel, Laine, Marchand, P.Kane, Panarin, Hellebuyck, Price, Dubnyk and many more. Online draft is set for 8:00pm Central on 2 October. Keepers must be set by 1 October.

Let me know here if you’re interested. Teams will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

Blue Jay fans at the Rodgers Centre on Saturday afternoon used an old Canadian hockey tradition to salute Edwin Encarnacion when he hit 3 homers in one game, including a grand slam.

Who’s in on it this year?  Let’s compare our teams, offer some strat, follow up on our first games.  Anyone?  GG?

@Jermofoot:

On Life is a Brees, I’d recommend trading a WR or two for a solid RB.  I’d also “float” your D/ST  as the Jags aren’t very good and there’s usually a D/ST in free agency that has a good matchup.  Just rotate them in and out as needed.

Loose Goose looks pretty solid to me.  Unless you get a great offer, I’d keep it as is.

Hurt Locker is hard for me to say.  It looks like a deeper league (maybe 12 people?), but your opponent looks like he had a slightly better draft.  Without knowing options, I’m not sure what to tell you.

I won, although I had a little doubt going into Monday’s night game.  Julio Jones didn’t do much, but it wasn’t necessary anyway.  Victor Cruz and Reggie Bush really saved my ass.  I’m tied for first in a 3-way tie at 2-0.  I face one of the other undefeated this week.

On Hurt Locker, yes… It’s a deep league (16 player). They all started drafting QB’s early (Joe Flacco went start of the second round) cause they didn’t like the scoring system. I kept drafting normal, and next thing I knew I had this lopsided team. Should have changed middraft.

I’ve been reading Alex Scarrow’s “TimeRiders” series lately and have really been enjoying it.

More power to you guys for being able to play Fantasy baseball.  I have an arduous task every year running Fantasy football, and that’s once a week.  I don’t know how you do it, but I do admire your dedication.

Someone else is going to create it, because I have already created the maximum number of allowed leagues (2).

Let’s keep it simple this time. 5x5 Scoring (BA, R, RBI, HR, SB, W, ERA, WHIP, K, Sv), Roto league.

Go Clippers! Wait, this is a baseball topic. Guess there’s no room for a fellow Axis and Allies basketball fan.
