I don't know whether to be excited or scared about this auction style. I may have to start drinking some Crown Royal beforehand to help me focus.
Its definitely different. As players are sold it gets worrisome if either you miss out on solid players or even worse people are afraid to spend and scrubs start going for a lit at the end.
@Big Suge Knight @ryalaman @AJ Hart MN @dnf913 @PepperNY @briosu99 @babydemon90 @KnightNoles @bsta93 1 1/2 hours until draft time guys. See you then
that was a fun draft.. Kind of liked the auction. Learned some lessons though.. Play @dnf913 the first week and holy shit does dude have some hitters!! Pitchers, not so much. It will be a battle of contrasting styles.. Should be fun.
that was fun guys. Look forward to the season. I have to give you props PA, didnt think I would like it since all ive ever done is h2h regular snake drafts on cbs
I'm in the market for pitching if anyone is looking to deal some (cough @AJ Hart MN). I'm not particularly happy about how my staff looks.
@Big Suge Knight @ryalaman @AJ Hart MN @dnf913 @PepperNY @briosu99 @babydemon90 @KnightNoles @bsta93 Couple things before opening day starts: - AJ and Ryalaman please update your trade blocks. - Please weigh in on the keeper thread for our keepers for 2012. - Everyone make sure you sign up for chatroll, expect to see me on chatroll in the evenings during the games so we can talk baseball. Its a great place to not only talk about the games going on, but also talk trades and get to know everyone. It's on the front page. - Finally, make sure you are active. This is an exclusive TSO league and I will be putting up weekly polls to make sure guys are around. If you fail to check in once per week, you must post in the away thread. Once the trade deadline hits, sometimes things cool down but until then, I expect everyone to check in weekly. - We are discussing wagering, please weigh in on the thread if interested. It's gauranteed to keep you interested Opening day is tomorrow. The DL slots are now active in the league, so you can now send guys to the DL. Good luck guys, and go South Side Sluggers.
Gotta say man, not a fan of the daily lineups.. I've always been in leagues where your lineup is locked at the week's first game.
Sorry man. League was created over a month ago and you were one of the first members, should have said something sooner. Settings are locked now. At least I think they are. Start a poll if you want them changed.
i tend to disagree, when lineups lock for the week if you havent been paying attention your screwed for the week instead of just being screwed for a day
Its debatable, The reason I like daily lineup changes is, get an update every day before first pitch and then adjust your lineup accordingly. Especially in points leagues. Someone sits, goto your bench and still get points. I think it takes much more micromanaging with daily as opposed to weekly. Also your bench is pretty much useless, especially for some guys who may have had this in mind when drafting. I mean opening day is tomorrow if you guys think I should change it I will.
I'm not saying you should change it I was just playing devils advocate here since I have experience with both. Lets say you blew the week off over the weekend but had your main starters set but one got hurt, in a weekly lineup league your screwed for the new week if you didnt make changes by Monday afternoon but in a daily lineup maybe your just screwed for 1 day.
Ahhhh, keep it the way it is.. I'll still lay a pounding on ya.. Takes away a bit of my pitching first strategy but I'm good this way. It's something different but it shouldn't be a problem. Gonna be a bit weird having opening day on a thursday but jacked for the season. Let's go Verlander, shut down those f'n Yanks!
Man, the waivers are annoying. I was hoping they'd go through by opening day. It won't go through for a few days still so some of my DL guys (I drafted a bunch because I figured they'd be cheaper than their real value) have to stay in the lineup until I get reinforcements.
Yeah I added an extra dl spot to help out. You certainly have to plan ahead not only with budget but roster changes
