Daily fantasy baseball leagues

Post by Reds »

While I haven't done one for a few years, I'm looking to join a daily fantasy baseball league for this season. Please send me a message if you're in one and there is a spot available. Thanks

I'd be in and could set it up if need be. We'd need 10-12 teams and consensus on where to do it. ESPN, Yahoo, etc.

I'd do an IBC fantasy league. I prefer ESPN to Yahoo but am up for whatever. Even CBS.

Traditional 5x5 roto? How about w/ OPS instead of AVG and QS instead of Ws?

I prefer espn as well. Hate yahoo. And I’d love to get weird with the categories and scoring to make it unique.

Seriously. Come on dudes. Drafts are fun. So are auctions, which I'd also be into.

Ouch Z. That political discussion really seems to have stuck in your craw. Are you still convinced that I'm anti-Bible? I mean I have been a Catholic for 47 years. To circle back to the politics, just like non-white immigrants today, Catholic immigrants were once persecuted in America (especially by poor white people). History repeats itself. All the more reason for there to be brisk political discourse wherever it can be had.

I prefer roto, but I'd do H2H categories (not points) if that's what people want to do. How about 6x6? Here's a possible setup:

AVG, R, HR, RBI, SB, OPS

QS, ERA, WHIP, K, SV, HD

C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, OF, OF, OF, OF, UT, UT (13)

SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P (9)

B, B, B (3)

IL (4)

Thinking we should have deep rosters and short benches if we only have 10 teams. If we only have 8, we could do like NL-only or something.

I'm fine with ESPN or Yahoo. I'm okay with H2H or Roto. I still like Wins for a Pitching stat. If we only have 8 players, then we will have some great teams which I am fine with, but 10 or 12 GMs would obviously be better.

Ok, I set up a 10-team ESPN H2H (most categories) league with the 6x6 settings and rosters I listed above, except with W, not QS.

Currently set for Snake draft Date TBD. I'd prefer a standard $260 auction, but I'm guessing more people would want a snake draft so weigh in if you have a strong opinion on anything (especially draft type and date).

This link should take you there to sign up.
