Fantasy RBI League

[Mr. Blubbo]

OK I'll drop out then.

[Mike D.]

i'll take his spot

[nomaaa]

the cunt's cunt would make a good rbi team name. all red jerseys maybe?

[Darky]

Rack, what happened? Why did you drop out? You had a spot man. In any case, your wish is my command. You are out and Mike D will take the final RBI Fantasy spot.

So here it is so far:

1.Darky
2.Attezz
3.Ultimate
4.Re-Peat
5.TBG
6.AlecTrevylan
7.BeefMaster
8.Ryno
9.nomaaa
10.Rack Mike D

Also, a reminder on the rules:

I'm leaning towards that solution, dvldog. I definitely want to limit to 2 SP and 2 RP only - we're not going to have a surplus of pitchers to go around, and if someone drafts four SPs, it causes a real headache. Especially since the computer will use all four pitchers in the simulation.

So, unless anyone has a major objection to it, I'll go with having your starting line-up consist of three OFs, four IFs, and a C, and your bench can be any four players.

The only change will be that a SP can not start in consecutive games. This is not up for debate.

I'm thinking about starting the draft on Friday. Sound okay?

I like this idea, but does this mean that you're going to be maintaining two sets of ROMs?  Leaves a bit more room for error (although I don't suppose it's all that likely).

Word of warning - lots of folks are away from Dee-Nee on the weekends, so a Friday start will result in the draft being interrupted for a couple of days right away.

Also, might not hurt to post a spreadsheet or something with position breakdowns for bench players, to make sure someone doesn't draft a player for an illegal spot.

[Darky]

Points taken Beef. The SP pitcher thing is no prob. All I have to do is flip flop the pitchers in the rom or?

And yes, I'll post a spreadsheet. Apparently I don't have mine any longer...it evaporated when my computer crashed last spring, and I did not back it up. I think TBG has such a spreadsheet with all the players and positions. Do you have this TBG?
I'm doing a search and looking for said spreadsheet in other Fantasy threads...not easy.

I need more thoughts as to when to run the draft...and maybe it can be spread out over a week or so. Friday may be too soon. We need this spread sheet to give a people an idea and prepare.

[Darky]

Here is the list of players and positions for the draft...

PREPARE!

[Re-Peat]

Why wait until Friday to start the draft?  Might as well post an order and just start it now, unless this causes some kind of complication I'm not seeing.

I want to give everybody a chance and heads up to prepare for the draft.

Those contact, speed, and power ratings that each player has does have a lot of significance. I have a formula and a list for the top rated players based on a equation with the power and contact numbers. And another one representing other factors when i introduce the speed number element.

I took over Ryno's team in the last league (Ryno went AWOL), and turned his paper airplane into a space shuttle with a series of trades and re-arranging his lineup. I got to the finals as a first timer.

The Force will be with me this time around.

Also, I need help with the draft. Or do you guys trust me drawing names from a hat? I can tape it and attach the file.

So right now, I am shooting for Friday and I will inform all the league owners by mail.

[ryno]

Many of us have been members of an RBI website / message board for 3-5 years.

I think we're prepared.

Start the draft.

[Attezz]

It's bed time in Sweden, want to set the draft order ourselves?

[Darky]

Hold your horses guys...Friday

There are still other members who need to respond and agree with the first day of the draft.

Draft order will be announced on thursday.

[Attezz]

Set the draft and just don't have a time limit until Friday or whatever.

Get the juices flowing!!

[ultimate7]

I'm ready

[nomaaa]

ready whenever. are we drafting one for each position or are we getting 5 ifs and 3 ofs?

[Re-Peat]

Obviously I'm also ready now...  I guess you need an official stamped document in triplicate though!

[ultimate7]

ready whenever. are we drafting one for each position or are we getting 5 ifs and 3 ofs?

right we need rule clarifications

[TβG]

catcher, 4 IF, 3 OF

just do the same standard format we've always done.

i like the pitcher idea... simple flip-flop.

[ultimate7]

I wouldn't mind seeing a change

[ryno]

Drafting by correct position would add a new dimension to fantasy RBI.
