1 slot left, I can tell who most of the teams belong to, some I can't. Post here if you want a live draft, an offline draft or the autodraft, and what day of the week/time of the day would work best for the draft if live is the choice.

I set the DL for 3 players, and can add any stat that you guys wish.
 
we playing head to head or rot? I'd rather have a live draft. I played last year on yahoo and drafting live was a lot of fun.
I really shouldn't play fantasy. It sways my opinion betting the games. I just couldn't help getting in a RR league.

Almost forgot that!
 
for my fantasy baseball team, i would pick:

P - Heather Locklear
C - Brooke Burke
1B- Jules Asner
2B- Karen McDougal
3B- Lauren Michelle Hill (Playboy's Feb, 01 Playmate - and if you have never seen her - WHOA!)
SS- Kaley Cuoco (the hot blonde on "8 simple rules" - but she has to wait until NEXT year when she turns 18 to join the team)
LF- Lisa Dergan
CF- Gena Lee Nolin
RF- Racquel Darrian
DH- Jennifer Garner

i have Jennifer Garner - who in my mind is the most beautiful woman out there today - as DH since that means she will be sitting on the bench all the time, except when coming to the plate and we can sit next to each other almost the entire game (i hope the cameras aren't focused in the dugout, too). i think my team will EASILY take it all. of course i am the manager, meaning i get to enjoy the scenery in the post-game showers/massages/hot tubs/orgies/etc. i have no idea how my team will do - but surround me with this "talent" and who cares!

I just joined, (FunkSoul's Twins) and there are 12 teams in the league already. Thats no problem with me, I like drafting really obscure players in deep leagues, but I'm just curious what the max # of teams is?

And for the record I also would like a live draft, I'm free most anytime.

Ok, well I looked around for a minute, and I see that I got in as the 12th and final team, so thats good (for me).

A few questions/thoughts:

-I noticed that the player universe is "NL". Thats fine if thats what people want, but with twelve 21-man teams we'll basically be drafting the entire National League. I for one vote that american league players be added.

-The draft has been mentioned, but I'll call again for a live draft, probably the best part of doing fantasy sports.

-I see the league is set as head to head rather than rotisserie. So we play for each category equalling one point, right? Like if I win all seven batting categories and the opposing team wins all seven pitching categories we tie 7-7 for the week?

If things are going to be done like this, we need a minimum number of innings pitched per week per team. Otherwise I can start a closer on March 25th, have him throw one perfect inning, and all of a sudden I am winning ERA, WHIP just like that. The default yahoo number is 7, thats not too many innings, I hope people agree with me on that.

-Also we might want to consider an odd number of categories so we don't have 7-7 ties all the time. If we had 13 categories there would always be a winnner each week.

My vote goes to eliminating pitcher GIDPs or Runs, or maybe batter K's (i'm guessing lower is better but still..) or batter walks (just a strange category). If I had to kill a stat, it would be picther runs allowed.. this is already covered in ERA pretty well.

Those are all of my thoughts for now. What do you guys think?

I also like the idea of a live draft ...Sun would be fine or any evening....As far as Just allowing Nl players? I lean Towards allowing both Leagues and maybe add ,say , 4 more teams.

I am Down With the Hundy ,,

Let us know when the draft is...

It may be hard for me to get online on Sunday. I don't have a computer at home, I only got web access at work. I can do a live draft monday-saturday from 10-6. I don't want to spoil the league for everyone else.....I just can't do Sundays. Any other day will be fine, or I can just open up my spot for somebody else.

Changed it to both leagues, I thought I had it that way. I will work on day for the draft, haven't been feeling real well for the last 2 days.

I'd rather not have the league for money, I just wanted something for bragging rights and fun.

Will check back in soon.

Any thoughts on eliminating a category guys? There are currently 14 categories, which will lead to lots of head-to-head 7-7 ties each week. I suggest we chop or add one stat so there will be decisive winners each week. You can't have a tie with an odd number of points up for grabs.

Thoughts?

We need to have a good response for those who want a live draft so that we can have a proper turnout. I travel alot during the week so I will need to know in advance.

i personally would take out the h/ab (which is basically the same as average right?) and from the pitching side I would remove gidp (is that ground into double play?) and runs ...why need a runs catagory when you have era.? not Much different to matter i would think...I guess I am more partial to the regular 5x5 Leagues since
that is what i have mostly played in the past and am used to but i am willing to roll with flow.

LIve or Auto that is the ?

If we do a live draft the managers that can't make it can preset their draft order.

I've got my line up set. So if I can't make the draft, I don't mind just letting yahoo do it for me. I'd like to try and make it to the draft. I'm more eager to see my line,go after free agents, and start to wheel and deal with the rest of the Rubber Roomers. Lets get party this started!
