I'm interested. How are we gonna handle trades?

EmpireMaker · 02-20-13, 01:44 AM

I am interested, would like to hear all details

ProPicker713 · 02-20-13, 01:56 AM

Will it be throughout the whole mlb season or like halfway or weekly or what?

CarolinaDaze · 02-20-13, 05:28 PM

Yeah i'd be interested, im sure SteveNash will run a top notch league.

Jrod124 · 02-20-13, 05:39 PM

If Carolina is in, I am in. I owe him some payback for the beating he put on me in football

gryfyn1 · 02-20-13, 06:15 PM

I'd be in; but Im not sure what you mean by H2H, roto scoring? do you mean 5X5 H2H, as opposed to pts or lw H2H?

And is the plan to use just standard categories? although I would prefer OBP over AVG, QS over Wins and Saves+Holds over just saves (though Im not sure that ESPN can do that)

stevenash · 02-20-13, 06:20 PM

ESPN has a toll free number I can call to assist me on a custom league setup.
Working on it now.

Come on, I want at least more six serious people to show interest.

Trades will be put up to a league vote.
If it's tied 6-6 I get the tie breaker.

I am thinking H2H with standard category scoring.

Who would be up for a 12 man league (not H2H) 5x5 point system league?
10 for highest scoring category for the week down to 1 point for the worst.

I second those also, but I will agree with the group

Working with ESPN.com if they can set us up with an OBA category

easyliving · 02-20-13, 06:37 PM

count me in, I would prefer ESPN as I am familiar with them, also points kept directly by you as I don't want the prize to be FP in the sportsbook.

also what will be the categories? I like the idea of holds+saves as well but I think ESPN has them as 2 seperate categories also avg is fine not a fan of the OBP.

gryfyn1 · 02-20-13, 07:15 PM

Well they do have SV+H, OBP and QS as categories so those can used

So for the offensive Categories you can do. OBP / Runs /RBI / SB / HR -
Optionally you can Sub Net SB for SB; to punish CSs and/or Total bases for HR to reward guys who get alot of hits especially XBH that aren't HRs

So pitchers you can do QS/ERA/WHIP/SVHD/K
Optionally you could use K/9 to mitigate the weeks that teams have several pitchers making multiple starts; but that also opens up specific other strategies.

makaveli66 · 02-20-13, 07:59 PM

I'm interested in this.

stevenash · 02-20-13, 08:25 PM

Would be interesting if we had some fielding categories, but we'll keep it simple

xxx · 02-20-13, 09:40 PM

interested

Jrod124 · 02-20-13, 10:05 PM

Sounds awesome Steve, 5 X 5 will work

easyliving · 02-20-13, 10:21 PM

5X5 with the standard scoring is fine.

Jrod124 · 02-21-13, 01:58 AM

Whats the head count? Will get the points together ASAP, just let me know when to ship them Steve

frankzig · 02-21-13, 09:12 AM

jrod124 Im trying to get my ncaa picks in????

dudekid · 02-21-13, 09:23 AM

stevenash · 02-21-13, 09:40 AM

I got about 9

I want at least 3 more

Andy117 · 02-21-13, 07:41 PM

I hate holds as a category.

MikeTizzy · 02-21-13, 07:49 PM

im in!! im a pro baseball analyst. let me know details, count me in! only if the league is down for the long season!

Erock87 · 02-21-13, 08:02 PM

You should define the rules, probably get more commitment.

I'm interested if it's a standard league, don't ruin a good thing. I agree with swapping out AVG with OBP, but should just leave the pitching categories alone. Otherwise it gets morphed into this weird ass league.

I'd even up the buy-in to 200 or 300 points, pay out the top 3. Provided the draft happens on a weekend, I'd be in.

Jrod124 · 02-21-13, 08:07 PM

@frank-LOL

Draft def should be on a weekend. I don't care what the categories are really, we can go simple or make it a weird league with holds as a category. Whatever the majority vote is I will side with them

GamblerSpirit · 02-21-13, 09:05 PM

Never did a baseball draft and heard its very time cosuming, but good luck to you guys.

dudekid · 02-22-13, 12:02 PM

nasher is it going to be a league with locked rosters weekly or daily updates?

convick · 02-22-13, 08:52 PM

Might be interested, havent been in one of these in years. Wondering who would hold the points, probably you?

Jrod124 · 02-23-13, 03:17 AM

I would trust Steve to hold the points and serve as a unbiased commish. Looks like we got 10 right now with convick as a maybe, hopefully we can get to 12 soon

stevenash · 02-23-13, 06:12 AM

Standard 5x5 league, OBA instead of Avg. since there is a lot of interest in OBA
Weekly changes (Monday noon deadline) season long league, H2H, (new opponent each week) right now top 2 finalists get paid, unless I get an overwhelming response for more team payouts.
Pitching would be 5x5 standard, W, S, WH/IP, K. ERA. Hitting would be OBA, SB, R, RBI, HR.

I want at least 2 more seriously interested posters to check in still.

If you guys want a weekend draft, how's an early Friday evening sound?

Friday is the one night that doesn't work for me.

It would be good if we could have a 3rd place payout. Wouldnt mind a slightly higher entry fee, say 125. At 100 pts only 2 places make sense.

Any day of the week evening works for me, the later the better.

BIGDAY · 02-24-13, 12:15 AM

Nasher, I'd be interested. If a decent group can be formed.. Let me know.
