Does starting this thread mean you're gonna be Commish this year?

I heard from DB on FB and he apologetically said he was too busy this year to do it.

I suppose I could/will, but will be out of town the last week of March so the draft would have to be only a couple days before the season starts (unless I autodraft).

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/14/12 07:18 PM

It's not a job I really want, but I would if needed. Can it be setup with co-commissioners?

Awesome...my favourite fantasy game. Coming stone last the last 4 years will have finally lulled everyone into a false sense of security and i will swoop to victory........

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/16/12 06:50 PM

I've asked DB (if he still cannot play) to renew the league and either assign me Commish, or, assign JL and myself co-commishes (there can only be one Commish, but multiple co-commishes)...

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/16/12 07:05 PM

Sounds good.

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/17/12 09:07 PM

JL, you have to make your email address public in the league to be granted Ass. Commish status...

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/17/12 10:10 PM

OK....

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/18/12 12:03 AM

Everyone in the league should check the league page for announcements regularly... such as the proposed Draft Date of this Wednesday, March 21 at 7PM ET. I know it's not a lot of time, but if we can do it, let's do it because I'll be out of town the following week. Otherwise, I'd autodraft (not ideal, but okay) or we'd have to wait until April 1 or 2...

Please comment on the league page so others can read your thoughts, as not everyone is a BB member...

Okay, BAM, I send the invite to your hotmail account used here. That'll make 12 for the league, a good number.

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/20/12 01:49 AM

Sorry to keep you guys waiting, I'm in the league now. I will have to autodraft unfortunately.

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/20/12 03:54 PM

Below is this year's draft order.

To set the order, I went through the following steps:

1 - I went to http://www.random.org/, DB's favorite random order generator website

2 - Using "Integer Generator" to pick a number between 1 and 20, I got:

Code:

Here are your random numbers: 12
	
Timestamp: 2012-03-20 15:45:31 UTC

3 - I went to "List Randomizer" and input our list of owners (list from top to bottom per what I saw under "Managers" in Yahoo.)

4 - This list of owners was randomized 12 times to get to a final list which is our draft order:

Code:

There were 12 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

KJ
YO
DB
BB
BL
JL
NM
DM
JG
VJ
TM
BM

Timestamp: 2012-03-20 15:48:53 UTC

You have randomized this list 12 times.

So there you have your draft order.
I assumed that God's Offal = VJ, correct?

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/21/12 03:02 AM

How is it I'm always picking before or after JL every year? too bad I can't make it to the draft to steal his picks

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/21/12 03:44 AM

I believe I never got a high pick either but with the snake draft is it good or bad?

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/23/12 01:30 AM

I don't think I would have drafted a single one of those guys that are on my team. This could be a bad season.

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/25/12 01:59 AM

The season hasn't even started yet, and JG has lost two closers for the year already.

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 03/27/12 11:53 PM

I knew about the first before I left. Great. Well, glad ALL my RPs are closers.

Posted By: Blibbleblabble

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 04/09/12 05:40 AM

All of my starters are minus points. What a great start to the season.

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 04/09/12 06:30 AM

Cry me a river... I lost most of my closers before the season even started, and now a SP. It's only what, Day 3??

I would think so! You do realize you are #10 out of 12, right?

Posted By: Blibbleblabble

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 04/15/12 04:58 AM

Fully aware of the rankings. That was my point. It's a long season, I shouldn't finish any higher than that, but if I do... shaaaaaaame on you

How long can Jeter, Beltran, Morneau, and Peavy continue to turn back the clock? My team is relying heavily on the past, and so far it is working.

Take a look at the free agent pool, and you won't know anyone without a "DL" next to their name

First Half Standings

Code:

DM  4470
JL  4346
DB  4294
VJ  4024
YO  3838
TM  3794
KJ  3620
NM  3601
BM  3573
BB  3557
BL  3538
JG  3276

Never in my life would I have predicted these standings. Yogi in the Top 5, and me Dead Last almost 1200 pts back. Guess that's what happens when you lose Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Lance Berkman, and every other closer.

In any event, good job DMC, JL, and DB!
But I hope the 2nd Half is reversed.

Posted By: Just Lou

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 07/09/12 10:40 PM

We're gonna have to keep an eye of the SP. Almost everyone is on track to go over the limit.

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 07/14/12 05:29 AM

I give up.

In last place.

My "good" SP gives me a -6.

I benched the 2 questionable ones, and they would've been +26 and +28...

Kinda tired of this...!!!

But of course I'm not giving up yet. Maybe next week.

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 07/19/12 09:12 AM

Never give up Geoff, i am testament to that

Posted By: Just Lou

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 09/02/12 10:24 AM

Everyone keep an eye on your pitching starts. We already have one team at/over the limit (King Justice), and many others getting close.

Posted By: Yogi Barrabbas

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 09/12/12 10:31 AM

I am in 5th place still

Fuck me

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 09/21/12 05:16 PM

Yogi, you've exceeded the SP GS limit for games played, so your starters have been benched. SP/RP Alexi Ogando remains in the SP slot, altho he hasn't been starting. If he plans to, please remove him before any starts.

Everyone else is getting pretty close to the 162 game limit, so please take notice!

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 09/26/12 04:27 PM

YOGI!! Did you see the post above? I had removed your SPs from your lineup, and they appeared back again. You have played 4 games over the limit now. Please do not start any more SPs! Thank you.

Anyone going over the 162-GS max will have their SP totals reduced (or increased) by the points that should not have been played

Posted By: DonMichaelCorleone

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 09/30/12 09:18 PM

I just saw this thread, you wouldn't have predicted me leading a fantasy sport?

The hell is wrong with you?

I'll trade you my 4 starting pitchers for Lebron James, yeah they don't have any games left to pitch, but they are much better than the starting pitchers with no games left to pitch on your bench...

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 10/03/12 12:59 AM

I know it probably won't matter for any standings, but people are over their games played for their position players and its still counting their score?

just throwing it out there

Re: 2012 Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball - 10/03/12 02:28 AM

It shouldn't be counting, and will hopefully be adjusted automatically tomorrow.
