Arcade version Fantasy RBI interest/signup thread.

[Darky]

Leaning hard to run an ARCADE FRBI season. It's a lotta work, but I'll have time since I'll be having 7-8 weeks vacation soon. If it happens, the season will go fast and be done by November. 18-game season it'll be with 10 teams. The arcade rom has never been done for a fantasy season, so this is really exciting and novel! Nothing yet determined as far as dates for the draft and so on. Still in the idea phase here, but leaning hard to do it and wouldn't mind the work needed to run the league.

I'll just need one person to sim my games with of course proper and strict protocols to ensure integrity.

Ultimate posted the excel spread sheet in another thread, and I'll post mine with all the positions listed as per the baseball reference page.

And the draft and league will be by position only. That is, you'll need to draft a LF, RF, and CF ... not just OF's.

I'm interested but I definitely think we should wait until after the current FRBI season is done.

I talked to Tempo about that, he doesn't mind, so it's okay with him. The idea was to run the games in-between his games and have my season done by November or even earlier. It's the only time I can run the league since I'll have more time being on vacation. Also, Tempo's league may last almost a year, so by the time my league is done, there'll be plenty of the pie left!

[Shooty]

I'd be willing to take on a partner. Assuming I do all the drafting and set the lineups, team colours and team name.

In that case TBG would be a great partner for you.

Rough version of the excel spreadsheet. I'll add some tabs by position and by RP/SP eventually. It looks like RF and 1B are really deep!

[GDavis]

Who the fuck is Johnson and why is he the best player in the game?

Davey Johnson! Wouldn't say the best player, but he sure does have some pop for a second baseman! Those are his power and contact ratings according to the RBI editor rom for the arcade version.

Bob Horner has been moved over to 3B in the excel sheet. He played plenty of games there to quality. Too much of an overload over at 1B as well as RF. Also, Dave Winfield has been moved over to LF to even out the LF's - RF is also too deep and Winfield has enough games started in LF to qualify. I think I may need to move another RF over to CF to ease the dropoff.

Undecided on the draft, but it's looking like the last week of August or the first week of September.

Have you considered just lumping outfielders together, or having players eligible at more than one position if they played lots of games multiple places?  Real fantasy has that kind of multiple-position eligibility, and since the arcade teams are kind of all-time teams, there's not really any reason you NEED to force them into a single season's primary position.
