would any of you here be interested?
maybe we could setup a leageu on yahoo for free?

if we get enough dedicated ppl.

since im new here, dont know if 1 is already going on?

I'm for it.

always up for some fantasy baseball

I'm down with fantasy baseball.

we used to have one, im sure we will agian and i think i actually won that other one

I'm game

I'd get killed, but I'd be interested also. I lub baseball. Only sport I really know about as far as players goes and all.

we would need like 10-14 ppl? i guess for a good league.
have 7 here. and i have a friend that can tag along.

hm anymore?

yeah I'd be up for some fantasy baseball.

I'll play too

Add me in

if there's room, count me in too. cubs in 2005!!
it's free right? and someone would have to explain it to me...lol....

Yep, it's free. Basically you "draft" a team of players and then keep an active rotation and always try to improve your lineup. Based on a player's performance, per game, you get points that affect your ranking within the small league itself.

im in

we have 13 now?
1 more?

I'm game for some fantasy mlb. Count me in.

Im in, fantasy baseball is a little bit more interesting, since games are played almost every day, and you've gotta manage your pitchers according to their particular 5 day schedule...

I'll be in it, just pm me with a link, I'll be active too.

Looks like we have over 14 people ready. Lets just hope half of these 14 people will actually be active

will be active and willing...count me in...pm me info or post here...I've been waiting for someone to start a thread about this

somehow we can select the most active ones here. =\

I'd be very active in fantasy baseball.

Count me in, I'd be active all season long as well. With all the responses so far, it may be more logical to actually have two Neowin leagues of 10-12 teams each. Just curious as to what people would prefer? I think Yahoo opens up their Fantasy Baseball on Feb 15th so we can start almost anytime soon. What kind of league do people want?

4x4 or 5x5 or any others? Roto or Head to Head? Live draft or Pre-Rank?

Personally, I like 5x5, Live Draft and Head to Head, but again if we set up two leagues we could have one Head to Head and one Roto and people could join the type they like best.

haha, i have no clue what you just said.

Once it starts, I'm willing to set up a league and if anyone wants to get at me hit me on:
Aim - JorgeOnez (invisible usually)
MSN - sethro20@hotmail.com
Yahoo - dj_weasel_matt

im down definately

same here

Same here...Also Roto isn't as fun cause you don't really go head to head with someone else.

yes maybe we could setup 2 leagues.

advanced and beginners?


i prefer 5x5 h2h live.

ok yahoo has opened up for registration.

i will create a league. since we have enough for 2 leagues, this league will be a 10man league.
will ID and PW when setup. advanced ppl in this league plz. and dedicated.

League ID# Is 23904.
Pw: neowin

this is a 5x5 h2h league. online draft, but he draft can still to be determined.
5x5 good? or want other categories as well.

just joined up, is this going to be the official neowin leage?

Yup, Seems like it will be . Just joined also .

There will be a live draft for players, correct?

First time doing MLB fantasy on Yahoo!

P.S. Signed up

Yes, there will be a live draft...So the page said...

Is it possible to set the draft at around 11:15 that day? I may be working and I usually get home around 11, which will kind of late if the draft starts at that time

Even better, I hope iversonxp moves the draft to a Saturday or so cause I'm sure most of us probably have School or work to attend on Thu Mar 24 11:00am EST.

thats not the draft time. i jus set it to be a random time.
it hasnt been decided. if we all cant meet we could do an offline one i guess, but it would be nice to do a live one.


but i think it doesnt allow weekends when i first set the draft date. i neeed to check it out.

are the rest of the settings good? roster size etc.
need to add a hits category?

i havent counted exactlly on the total members who want to participate.
will we be having 2 leagues or just one? i guess we could fill everyone into one giant league, or split into 2 leagues with rookies and pros. or active and not as active.

ok
yahoo has added more draft times, now we can draft at night.

could you guys list what days/times you guys cant do?
i guess we will do this draft at night time.

I don't have a certain work schedule since it changes every week, but I am available every day around 11:15 or 11:30pm.

i'm in!

Most of the settings look good - The only one that I suggest you change is Trade Review - League Votes. Some people may shoot down a trade because of there own personal reasons. *Grudge against someone or simply they just like seeing the other person get that player*



Also, I think one big league would be better. It would spread out the talent and make things more interesting in general.

what you mean by league votes?

What League Votes means is let say I wanted to trade Player X on my team for Player Y on your team, the league and its member would have vote on the trade to allow or reject the trade. However, if more than 1/3 of the leagues member vote against the trade then the trade will been defeated/disapproved.

Sounds good to me

yea i know wht it is,

but the league settings are already set for league votes. so i didnt understand heh

and we'll have to do something with the league size.

i wouldnt mind having a big league again if needed , however, i hope everyone in the league can be active. atleast set the daily rosters, not even asking for dropping and adding players.
ALso, know what your doing. cuz it would suck for the rest of us, if some people give up half way or jus basically have no clue what to do.


maybe we could get a list of whos joined and who still wants to join and go from there?

so far the list:

joined:

iversonxp
RavNouS
Ryan92
L3thal
BroChaos


there seems to be 7 teams in the league now. dont know who the rest are, maybe post something here.



want to join:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Hey guys, I just joined (Crushers for now, might change it later)

Everything looks pretty good, I'm also not a fan of the league votes rule because of the already stated reason of grudges, and I've had experiences where people turned down trades because they didn't want one team to get too strong or they were trying to get one of the players involved in the deal.

If it can be changed that'd be good, if not then maybe I'd suggest if you decline a trade you have to explain your reasoning behind it.

As for the draft, I'd prefer the weekend and anything not Sunday mornings before noon but can work with other nights. I'm in the Central time zone (since it may factor in for people).
