I have created the Neowin Fantasy Baseball League over at Yahoo. I am using same settings as last year with one change. I got rid of the "Average" stat category and replaced it with "On Base Percentage".

The live draft is harder to schedule this year as time slots have to be picked instead of simply scheduling the time to our best convenience.

Live Draft: March 10, 2007 at 2:00pm EST

Current Teams and Owners:
1. bangbang023 (bangbang023)
2. Fred'sDiamondDragon (Fred Derf)
3. virtualmadden (virtualmadden)
4. Mr. Franchise (golfantastic)
5. lawtai (lawtai)
6. Lou's Boys (j.nudd)
7. Dead Man's Party (Purple Haze)
8. L3thal's Sluggers (l3thal)
9. Adam's Brewers (Adamb10)
10. Cubs_in_2007 (BroChaos)
11. Rumor's Boys (Rumor)
12. AnAmerican (AnAmerican)

There are 12 slots available so I ask that only serious contenders apply. If you plan on leaving half way through the season, don't sign up. If a second league is needed, it will be created.

i'm in for sure.

I probably would miss the draft but I'll check it out nevertheless.

So, who is taking Sammy Sosa?

The above doesn't work for me.

Try again. The password is definitely right. I just submitted it again to make sure.

It works now doing exactly the same thing I tried before.

You guys need to tell me your team names. Any unindentified teams will be removed by Monday.

Mr. Franchise

heh team lawtai

Lou's Boys

Dead Man's Party.

(in an Oingo Boingo mood)

I'll definitely miss the draft but I am sure Yahoo won't let me down.

Yeah, sorry, it's just that most weekend days have limited open slots, with 9am and 11pm being the only usual openings.

I still need to know who own's The Tribe.

Bah, virtualmadden joined

Two people are being kicked from the league if they don't identify themselves.

Adam's Brewers is in.

Thanks Adam. The following guys have until I wake up tomorrow morning to identify:
Cubs_In_2007
The Tribe
Rumor's Boys

Agh its full...

Tomorrow, before noon, it may open up again as i get rid of the unidentified people. If not, I will create a second Neowin league so no one is left out. If anyone would be interested in a second league, let me know, I don't want to create it for one person.

isn't Cubs_In_2007 brochaos? I'm guessing based on the manager's e-mail address.

Yes, it is, thanks. The only unidentified team is The Tribe, so I have removed them. One slot remains. Again, if more people are interested, let me know and I will crate a second league.

AnAmerican = Me

I'm interested if possible if somone leaves or something.

Thanks.
Matt

If more people show interest, I can still start the second league.

i'd be interested in joining. haven't done fantasy sports in a while and i'd like to get back into it

I will create a second league in the morning. If it winds up having less than 6 people, it will be closed before the draft.

The second league has been created.

Just a note - I slightly changed my SN, purplehaze32 now = Purple Haze.

heh everyone ready for the draft this saturday? hopefully i'll be able to make it.

Yes, remember the draft guys. Also, the other league needs 3 more within a week if it is to continue. If anyone wants to get their hand into a second Neowin league, you can.

3 hours 30 minutes to go?

yep

is it possible to move the draft time to 3:30pm? i just found out that i have to run an errand..

Sorry, but no.

Okay, thanks anyway. How long will the draft be? an hour or two?

Hopefully not longer than an hour, hour and a half. I have things to do also lol.

Alright who needed a catcher

Looking to trade Luis Castillo (2b) for a mid range RBI guy (80ish). Castillo can get you steals so if you realize you're lacking in the steals department, let's talk.

bangbang trade sent - C for OF

lol sorry but that was a rip for me. I rejected the offer.

Hmm here goes another more generous offer.

I think I'm going to play it out. Looking at my 2006 stats for the guys I have, I have a decent rbi lineup, afterall. Plus, my steals possibility is too good for me to destroy by trading roberts.

I will get Roberts eventually just watch.

Burnett was tempting, but I'm just not sure it is worth it for me. I need some time to think. I don't want to make panic moves.

Dead Man's Party might desire an OF; depends on what the waiver wire brings.

offer me a SS.. decent one..

There are not that many good shortstops good luck getting someone to trade you one.

Crappy team but I will live with it.

I'm ready to go 0-11 again to start the year. Wish I had incredible crop of young pitching talent again this year, but I didn't come out too bad. Anyway, if you struggle this year, keep an eye on the free agent pool. Good luck everyone.

heh didn't like my trade for howard?
