Fantasy Baseball

8-10

Tense final in the consolation bracket (aka 5th place game)....I'm tied 5-5 with Seattle Seamonkeys! The other one in this bracket looks tight too.

Congratulations Coeus!
I'm kind of sad it's all over!
Still, we have next season to look forward to!

Thanks!! My batting was immense this week, certainly my best week of the season. I actually broke the league records for Average and RBIs. Broke the Saves records.

It will be strange not having to check my team(s) every evening.

Overall, its been a really good and competative league. Cant wait for next season

Whats the story so ? Are we going to continue with a keeper league ? I think we should. We seem to have a great group of players who are willing to keep lineups up to date. Would be shame to just leave it after a year. I find from playing fantasy in other sports that its almost impossible to get a league full of dedicated players.

Yea, I hope so...

When does the keeper setting have to be activated for the league?

smackbunnybaby

even when you activate the keeper league, does it still close down until March?

HI,

With the hot weather,some of the game’s best players may find themselves struggling to do what they do best.

Thanks.

Hi lads,

Lived in Boston for a summer and love the game. Looking to join a good fantasy league, usually play 2 a year with random Americans, but would love to join an Irish one if there any spaces coming up?

Cheers

Hi Rob, Its very much up in the air about what we'll be doing next year. We were considering continuing on last years league as a keeper league but we haven't decided yet. If we do there won't be room for anyone else unless theres a drop out. However I don't expect any dropouts as we had a very active last year and it was competitive for the most part.

If we don't have a keeper league then I'm sure we could add you, we would have to add another team though to make the league balanced.

I'll PM you with an update closer to decision time

BigBadRob83

Thanks Malachy. If it helps I have another mate I lived with over there who is also an obsessed Red Sox fan and would love to play if it ends up being a non-keeper.

Even if it was keeper, we'd be happy to join in with you guys in Year 2 and draft our team, if you're able to add teams without affecting your keepers. Had done something similar in a fantasy football league where teams lost draft pick based on the round their keeper was drafted in. So new team had full draft picks and old ones lost a draft pick(s) in whichever round(s) they originally drafted their keeper.

Either way, we'd both love to get into a good active Irish league if possible.

Cheers

Coeus

I think the plan is to keep the keeper league, people have been on that thread saying they want to keep it going. Of course we may need new managers if some of the guys cant commit to keeping their team active.

Outside of the keeper league I think we can also run a new non-keeper league. Once we get 10 players it should be OK to run,12 would be ideal but I dont mind been in a deeper league (14 even 16) similar to the fantasy football.

I have no probs playing 2 leagues here as I normally play in 4-5 leagues anyway. I'll just drop some of them to concentrate on the boards leagues

Once Yahoo fantasy baseball opens next month I guess we can start a recruitment thread. That usually happens in mid Feb from past experience...

I'm also happy to play a second league. Usually play 4 teams a year anyway!

I'm quite happy to play in other league as well. Played in a few last year but found most people outside of this league weren't too active.

UCD AFC

Thought I'd post myself as happy to play in a fantasy league this year (wasn't involved last year) as I would prefer to play with like-minded people and we could discuss the league here also.

Iang87

yeah i'd love to play a second league too. I really want the keeper league though i've got me gonzo so dont wanna lose him

Benimar

If a second league starts up, I'd be interested in joining. I haven't played Fantasy Baseball before so a 'newbie' league would suit me! I don't think I could compete with the 'big boys'!

I Play Fantasy Football and Fantasy American Football and am active in both, so I'd love to try out Fantasy Baseball.

I have a growing interest in the sport, and attended my first actual game last summer.

Coeus

Okay guys, it looks like we have enough interest for a new fantasy baseball league for the coming season so I have put up a thread so we can start putting together a list of interested players...

Do you mean a second league? Or is this a continuation of last year's? I'd be interested in a keeper league, I know that was discussed a while back, but it wasn't decided on. I wonder what the decision was on that.

Yep, this will be a separate league with a new draft and will be non-keeper.

The keeper league should run aswell as there seems to be plenty of interest in contining it over on the keeper league thread. I guess the GM will put up a thread or notification when he is ready to organise it...

Ok, thanks, I didn't realise there was a keeper league thread, should have looked there before posting. I'm in for keeper, the second league I'm not sure about yet. Not sure I'm hard core enough for multiple teams!

No worries, plenty of time to decide whether people want to play. There will be no need to a create league until March. Of course I'll post over on that thread before anything is decided...

Hi all. Regarding the original Keeper league, I will reactivate this by the weekend. I will send the same 12 people that finished it an invite then. Once we get the numbers clarified then we can look at keepers etc.

Ok. I have rectivated the league and the email should be sent to each of the 12 people who finished the season.
We each have 6 keepers and we will have until 25th of March to select these. I have provisionally set the following friday, the 30th of March @ 9PM for the draft. This can be altered when we are all set up.

Me too...so many threads!! So if you saw my post in the other 2 threads, I've started keep and non-keeper threads in the new Fantasy Sports Arena forum. I think with a dedicated forum fantasy talk can happen there and we can use this forum for baseball discussion?

I dont think we should move fantasy discussion. That forum is an excuse for fantasy premier league to have its own forum. It will dominate everything. Baseball would fall down to the bottom of the forum without constant posting which was absent from the league last year.

I agree, I like our cosy little baseball forum as it is. Though things did get a little haphazard with the posting recently.

To tidy things up a bit I propose we have four threads dealing with all the fantasy stuff...

1) This thread for general fantasy baseball discussion
2) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056461371
3) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056538089
4) a new thread for discussion specific to the BigBadRob keeper

Edit: changed links. I had linked by mistake to the new threads in the fantasy sports forum instead of the ones above

UCD AFC

I agree with the above post. It's not as if this forum is overloading with other threads and stuff, yet I agree the fantasy discussions need some tidying/sorting.

Sounds good, I will set one up for Keeper League 2.0
