early openings for anybody interested. contact [email protected] or drop a post here (2nd is better as i'll be emailed anyway that way and i'll have a record of it for later). all drafts will be in 2nd half of march if not later. no reason to add extra injury/demotion/promotion risk by drafting earlier than that. also i can't see any reasons to take away from our prep times.
LEAGUE 1:
-roto/h2h 16 team hybrid free in fantrax.
if you've ever not liked in any sport that h2h luck where the 2nd best team in a week loses, or the best team barely wins, or the 2nd worst team wins but still like the weekly immediacy of h2h in general, while also liking the accuracy of roto this is a good league. 16 teams all play each other every week in 10x10 categories from weeks 1-22 (23-25 for playoffs). so it's 22 separete roto "seasons" added together as the season, and 3 week playoff. this is a way to get rid of h2h luck while keeping the immediate gratification of h2h. redraft league (we might vote to do a small amount of keepers, maybe 2-4). snake draft random order.
-scoring:
hitting: hits, RBI, Runs, HR's, steals, total bases, XBH, OBP, OPS, steals %
pitching: K's, wins (for starters), saves, holds, blown saves (inverse value, you don't want these), QS, inherited runners stranded, ERA, WHIP, K%
so 7-3 counting vs ratio stats for both hitters and pitchers
- rosters
hitting: 1 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 SS, 1 3B, 1 CI, 1 MI, 1 LF, 1 CF, 1 RF, 1 OF (any type) 2 utils
pitching: 5 SP, 5 RP, 1 P
3 BN. 3 DL slots and a player doesn't have to be on real life DL to be put there (if a player doesn't play in a game for ANY reason he can be DL'd, suspensions/inactive).
- no add limits, 30 min innings per week, 72 max.
LEAGUE 2:
- AL only done right in yahoo. free. 10 team h2h. 3 keepers, using last year's ADP cost from fantasy pros.
this is 2nd year of this league. you cannot add any NL players nor do you lose stats from AL players if they get traded midseason to NL (however if you lose a guy midseason he can't be kept in succeeding season). so last year if you had m.moore/reddick and didn't drop them you'd have gotten their stats all year, but if dropped, they exited the player universe and nobody could add them. any player that arrives midseason to AL (trades or signings) goes through a 2 day message board waiver in which all owners have that time to show up and type "i use my waiver". during draft if you either time out or are absent and draft any NL player you'll actually get the highest ranked by yahoo player AL that was available at the time of your pick(s). it works best when the most people show up to the draft so if you are one of the people who actually prefer to not show up to drafts this probably isn't good league for you.
scoring: runs/RBI/net steals, total bases added, OBP over AVG, ERA, WHIP, K's, QS over wins, holds, saves
rosters: 1 each of C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 4 OF and 1 util, 5 SP, 4 RP, 4 BN, 3 DL, 1 NA.
1 roster available currently: these keeper options: odor, betts, pujols, semien, profar, j-zimm, pillar, simmons and some others.
LEAGUE 3: brand new NL only version of league 3. 9 spots open.
LEAGUE 4: 10 team league in which all teams draft 3 entire MLB team pitching and 3 entire MLB team hitting squads. for rest of season from date we draft these teams these are ONLY players you own (your only FA moves are you streaming your own players). trades from owner to owner are of course allowed. so if draft was march 23rd, and jay bruce gets traded july 16th in real life, he's still property of NYM hitting after july 16th, not wherever he got traded in real life. 2 of every position for hitting, 5 SP, 6 RP, scoring would be about 8X8 or so, h2h version of this for sure and likely a roto also. in the h2h version about 10 moves max per week in the roto innings cap of probably around 1700 and 162 games for hitter spots. these leagues by nature are completely redrafted. in yahoo and free.
LEAGUE 5: 16 team roto in yahoo (free) with one of 3-5 keepers kept at previous year fantasy pros ADP prices. whether it's 3-5 keepers is being vote upon right now. 4 openings in this league.
