LGP Fantasy Baseball League

[Kraftster]

Sorry I forgot to update these. Other than the players on contracts, these are the farm players i'll be signing. No contracts yet, but I figure we shouldn't really need those for a while.

Drew Storen
Freddie Freeman
Craig Kimbrel
Jonny Venters
Madison Bumgarner

and here are the players that were already under contract just for the whole roster

Troy Tulowitzky
Evan Longoria
Brian McCann
C.C. Sabathia
Jonathan Broxton
Johan Santana
Adam Jones
Jair Jurrjens
Jason Heyward
Dan Uggla
Jayson Werth

And as far as fantrax goes, I'm as much against it as I can be. If everyone else really wants to do it, i'm not going to cause a problem, but my vote is no.

Thanks, still in there finalizing so will add Venters, I had missed him.

Yeah, I don't want to push it too hard because you were not alone in being dissatisfied with it. But, like I said, if hockey is any indication, they've worked out the kinks, and I just think that administratively it would be way easier. At the end of the day, the two biggest things for me would be farm teams (don't know why Yahoo! won't add this with the number of keeper leagues that include farms out there) and probably the biggest thing for me is expanding the roster size in Sept, since I thought that was a really cool feature to have. Last year we had to drop a player if we wanted to add a farm player, which is really not the same thing at all.

I like yahoo's format, but beside that, I like it because i'm going to be there every day regardless of fantasy, and every fantasy league i'm in in any sport is on yahoo.

Thanks Kraftster I'll check my roster in the morning. I'm with Idoit on fantrax, I didn't like it 2 years ago plus all my other teams are on yahoo so it's nice doing it all in one spot. The added functionality and having the farm teams loaded right in was nice but I just didnt like that site and often forgot to check my roster (although that could've been the weekly format thing we did the first year too). I'm just constantly on yahoo and the iPhone app comes in handy when I'm traveling to set my roster on the fly.

MOTHER ******

Who is username nosebleed??? It better be Kicksave. I assumed when I saw 11 teams that Loaf and KS had joined. I was determining who was Coolio and who was Code Name Duchess and see that Coolio is someone with the username nosebleed. Either this is a new name for KS or someone (FanofUlf???) joined the league. If I have to reset all of these rosters I am going to smash something.

[ulf]

I'm for anything that isn't on yahoo. I hate yahoos fantasy sports.

[Idoit40fans]

I will flame the **** out of someone until I get banned if they incorrectly joined the league.

Kicksave's yahoo username is his first name and some numbers.

[Letang Is The Truth]

So what do you need from me? I am not re signing anyone

[Idoit40fans]

actually kicksave's might be kicksave, i think his email was his first name though. I dont know.

[Letang Is The Truth]

Cross reference user name w vanek at the disco hockey team in keeper league

[Kraftster]

actually kicksave's might be kicksave, i think his email was his first name though. I dont know.

Yeah, its different than he's used for lgp fb, fh, ff.....in those he's just username Kicksave..

Not feeling confident that its him. I really hope I can keep these rosters I've entered and boot/replace an owner or something.

[Kraftster]

So what do you need from me? I am not re signing anyone

I think you're good. Just double check your farm to make sure you aren't losing anyone, I only came up with Nolan Riemold and he sucks so I left him off of your roster.

[Letang Is The Truth]

I know ive asked this multiple times but do you need to sign someone to a contract as soon as they are draftwd

[Kraftster]

After the draft you have a week or so (depends on when we finish) to sign to whatever length you choose (while being cap compliant) (1) players drafted this year, (2) expiring rookies retained, (3) other rookies you want to sign, (4) re-signed MLB players.

[Loaf31]

I'm pretty sure that I am going to use my re-sign on David Price

[beerman]

Don't ever sign them, we don't penalize it

[Kraftster]

The rosters are in. I have to transfer ownership of coolio to kicksave, but I think everything should be entered in now. Please look it over.

Updated the long post towards the end of teh bottom page for minor leaguers I re-signed for loaf and KS.

[beerman]

My roster looks good, no one was missing.

[Letang Is The Truth]

My roster is wrong. I have Roy Halladay

[Kraftster]

Team owner stuff is all sorted out. Can we plan to start the draft sometime next week?

Monday at noon deadline for re-signs, qualifiers (announce intention to keep expiring farm players), etc.? We can plan on starting the draft at 1:00 on Monday? All the guides/player lists/projections/etc. seem to be available out there now and we are already past when we started last year, so, we should try to start soon if not Monday.

Thoughts?

[Idoit40fans]

Thats fine with me. I'll make decisions on everything this Sunday since i'll have nothing else to do from 12:30-3.

[Mr. Colby]

What do I have to do? I picked up Kovy's crap squad... did we agree that I have 6 years worth of contracts to apply to my players?

[MWB]

I just need to add Victor Martinez. He's still under contract for 2012.

Thanks for all the work Kraftster.

[Mr. Colby]

Where are the best fantasy guides? I haven't played fantasy baseball in like 3 years so I gotta do some reading

[MWB]

Espn has a decent amount of free stuff and does a good job of giving cheat sheets and depths at each position.

[Kraftster]

razzball.com is a site I found this year that I think is pretty good.
