SBR Fantasy Baseball League??

ttwarrior1 · 01-31-10, 12:35 AM

roto would be best, head to head, people that check everyday all day would win and fill their lineup everyday, in roto you have a max limit of games and innings

warriorfan707 · 01-31-10, 12:36 AM

Roto is terrible

If its roto count me out!

Terrapin Station · 01-31-10, 12:52 AM

my vote is for head to head

warriorfan707 · 01-31-10, 12:55 AM

Amen

FrozenMAN · 01-31-10, 01:37 AM

i'd vote for head to head too but if its roto, w/e

warriorfan707 · 01-31-10, 03:30 AM

ive been in one roto league and it was the dumbest thing ever, roto is trash

watertight · 01-31-10, 08:58 AM

i like roto, but ill play whatever.

rob11234 · 01-31-10, 12:50 PM

If a spot opens up, please let me know. I'd be in if you went with with a head-to-head on Yahoo.

infamousbacardi · 01-31-10, 03:42 PM

The league will be head to head in Yahoo...we can try and make it so you the lineups lock every Monday. As in, they only have to be "set" once a week...we'll see what happens when the leagues open up.

Terrapin Station · 01-31-10, 03:48 PM

Head to head sounds great. However, I don't like the idea of not being to update rosters daily. If you can't update rosters daily, the league gets incredibly boring.

warriorfan707 · 01-31-10, 04:02 PM

Yes, H2H, update rosters daily is the best way to play

infamousbacardi · 01-31-10, 04:07 PM

We will see how the set up works...I have no problem doing a daily one...it get's intense...but it is what it is. I'll see how the set up goes

IMO, its the only way to play fantasy. I played in a weekly update league 10 years ago, and it was awful. Not a big fan of roto either. I'll play it, but I think H2H is a lot more fun.

Jasonal_98 · 01-31-10, 04:58 PM

I vote for daily rosters as well. One of the reasons I'm looking forward to this league is that I think it'll be really active. Weekly roster lock would kill that.

No doubt. Like Ive stated, if its not H2H and daily updates I don't want it.

IB .. I think we need to get some type of vote system out here to figure out what we are doing ... I have no preference any way, I have been in all different leagues so either way doesn't bother me... If some people aren't going to do it if we decide on something they don't like we just have to make sure we fill the other spots. Either I can or you, maybe, whip up a voting thing where we can decide.

Let me know

EXhoosier10 · 01-31-10, 05:44 PM

i'm down for a h2h daily update league. I think that's pretty close to the consensus too

ttwarrior1 · 01-31-10, 06:21 PM

if its head to head cout me out, tired of people playing head to head ,, adding and dropping players to have a full lineup all the time, then people will complain. roto is the way to go

ttwarrior1 · 01-31-10, 06:22 PM

takes away skill of fantasy baseball. 70 percent of fantasy baseball players only play roto for a reason. u need innings pitched and game limits.

infamousbacardi · 01-31-10, 06:52 PM

ttwarrior1...I don't disagree with what you're saying...that's just not what this league will be...we'll count you out then...so, we have 1 opening...

MLB...I think it seems like most everyone agrees then it should be H2H daily updates.

Anyone who is of the original 12...please feel free to agree or disagree then...but as of now, we'll plan on H2H, daily updates, and we'll go from there.

infamousbacardi · 01-31-10, 06:55 PM

Also...everyone be advised...I've heard that Yahoo leagues won't open until at least the 2nd half of February...so this may not be for a few weeks yet.

- This is why getting excited for baseball too early sucks!!!! ... Let's just make sure you are all still interested than as the weeks go on. Please Please Please speak up if you want out at anytime in the next weeks....

But, if we must wait, than I guess we have no choice haha..

Looking forward to it!

daneblazer · 01-31-10, 07:19 PM

The only thing I don't like about roto is that half the league is dead and gone by July 4th and when football season begins all but 2-3 teams have mailed it in. The games played/innings pitched won't be that big of a problem with 12+ teams, but we will probably need an IP limit none the less and err it on the heavy side.

We'll probably have enough to have a head to head and a roto league...but maybe that's just me being optimistic.

Jiggy Fly · 01-31-10, 07:20 PM

I see I'm on the waiting list. Be sure to let me know via PM if I get in just in case I don't check this thread.

infamousbacardi · 02-01-10, 09:49 AM

Jiggy, ttwarrior opted out, so if you want it, just confirm below and you're in

watertight · 02-01-10, 10:48 AM

h2h is fine with me and i still want in. But if anyone else wants to do a second league roto style i can hook that up too.

Jiggy Fly · 02-01-10, 01:22 PM

Im in infamous!!!

H2H gets my vote BTW!!

icsky3 · 02-01-10, 01:30 PM

I'd be down.

ttwarrior1 · 02-01-10, 01:52 PM

good luck with having a league that takes skill out of it. you can easily win a head to head league by adding and dropping and filling your lineup in every week, plus when it gets to playoff time, some players might not play as much or care and some bum ends up winning the league with the 8th best team because of add drops. Don't be surprised if some quit the league during the season

I understand what your saying... but majority rules.. sorry .. I'm right there with you, but it's only 25 points so I'm sticking around

FrozenMAN · 02-02-10, 01:10 AM

people are treating this like its a $2 million entry fee and winner gets $25 mill, 3 playmates and a lambo LOLOLOLOL

im in no matta what

Exactly

infamousbacardi · 02-02-10, 10:44 AM

ttwarrior1...I don't necessarily disagree with you...but head to head is fun because every week it's a new match up and you have a chance to start over and you're never really out of it until you lose enough match ups...it's a long season...and I think probability is on our side, in that, more people will be likely to keep paying attention to their teams if they are within 3 games of making the playoffs with only 5 weeks to play, as opposed to, for example...if you are down by 100 home runs with that same time left.You guys are right...the league will be fun just the way it is currently set up...it's not for real many anyway...your point is well taken...but I'm more than happy playing the percentages and going with the head to head format. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I look forward to playing the Fantasy baseball this year with all who signed up...I'll keep you posted as to when the league opens up...if you are one of the other 11 people currently set up to play in this league...pay attention to the baseball forum...I'll make a new thread in the baseball forum for all of us to start over in and handle logistics in terms of signing up and everything.

Jiggy Fly · 02-08-10, 05:45 PM

I'm in a league that's H2H but you only submit your lineup once a week. No daily changes. Something to ponder?

warriorfan707 · 02-08-10, 05:48 PM

Daily changes are the only way to go

Lets not forget guys get injured etc

It takes skill to set your linuep daily, you gotta know who to play against what pitchers. It takes managerial skills

Never did understood why anyone would ever go with weekly as opposed to daily, thats just stupid
