In the first post of this thread I will update the division standings.
I will also include an excel spreadsheet where you can look up any specific statistical information.

There are 3 Tabs.

Schedule:  You will see the 18 week schedule.  I will record the scores of each game in this section.  To the right of the page you will notice the standings (same as what will be posted).

Stats:  You will notice 3 sections here.  The first section will include the YTD stats by team, as well as the team totals.
The next section you will see the stats for the most recent completed week.
All the way to the right, you will see the YTD stats for all the players in a sortable format.  You can click on the sort button for each column to sort for you.

Playoffs:  Simply has the playoff/seeding definitions and rules.  More will be added here once we get that far.

I will try to update the first post in this thread and the spreadsheet on a weekly basis.  After each series I will include a brief write-up on each series in this thread.

When you are done drafting....  Please post your lineup and position in this thread along with your team colors.  All switch hitters will bat lefty.  Only let me know if you would like your guy to bat as a righty.
You can follow this example:

Larry Walker-OF
Rickey Henderson-OF
Ken Griffey Jr-OF
Mike Piazza-C
Todd Helton-DH
Mo Vaughn-1B
Joe Morgan-2B
Mel Ott-3B
Travis Fryman-SS

Bat/Jersey = Green/Yellow

[ultimate7]

Seems pretty stupid to play Vaughn at first while Helton DHs

[Nacho]

Stock, since you will be batting, are you going to do things like steal where appropriate, and do the Pettis for fast guys with no power?

[ultimate7]

I believe based on his last league that he tries to hit a HR every AB and he does not steal bases.

[Nacho]

Well that changes things.

[Shooty]

Stock, since you will be batting, are you going to do things like steal where appropriate, and do the Pettis for fast guys with no power?

I think he said no stealing but he will attempt to use a certain type of hitting strategy if you wish.  I will be requesting he employ the Pettis for Tony Womack.

This was Stock's reply to me in a PM:

This is a difficult question.
I won't ALWAYS do this, but if it is a very fast guy with crappy power, I will most likely try to slap a hit opposite field to get on base when the bases are empty.  However, with a slow runner on 1st, it won't make sense as they could get the lead runner at 2nd, and I would be better off pulling the ball to advance the runner.
If you have a specific strategy in mind, let me know, and I will try to honor it.  The only thing I will not do is bunt.

Thanks Shooty.
You summed up well.

If someone has a specific hitting strategy they would like me to use with one of thier batters, I will try to honor those wishes.
For example, "Any time bases are empty, please try to get on base with Tony Womack via "the Pettis".

[Mr. Blubbo]

Stock, the strategy I wish you to employ with my team is:  hit a HR with every batter.  Thanks.
