Any word on when things will pick back up again?
Any word on when things will pick back up again?
I am ready to get things started. Are you guys ready yet?Originally Posted by camisadelgolf
We need to hear from everybody to make sure everyone is going to play again this year.
Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is not open yet, but we can start getting things sorted out for sure.
I'm ready to start talking about it!
I'm still in.
I'm ready whenever.
I'm in....of course!

Awesome. That is five guys reporting in so far to confirm they are participating again this year. Hopefully we will get all twelve to return.
Is the NL only league coming back as well?
I PM'ed the rest of the managers to ask them to confirm they are playing this year.
I really, really hope we won't need to replace any managers, but if we do I would like plenty of time to evaluate candidates to replace them. We need to make sure we get dedicated, competitive, experienced, active, fun team owners rather than take the first guy that comes along.
Yahoo has not opened up the fantasy baseball section at this time, so we can't officially enter the settings, teams and rosters yet. But we can at least start making plans.
When would you guys like to begin the draft? I am thinking sometime in early March perhaps. The draft will likely only be 2-4 rounds in duration, so it will take about a week.
I would like to get the rosters entered well before that time so everyone can evaluate their team's needs, study the draft-eligible players and make some trades before the draft.
I will create a new discussion thread here in the Fantasy Forum once the new league website is up and running.
I will also post the full rules from last year along with the changes we voted on at the end of the season.
Has anybody heard about any potential changes to the Yahoo system that could affect our league or that we may want to integrate into our rules? I still hold out hope for expanded roster sizes. A live chat window on the team pages would be nice. I heard that live scoring will be free this year, so that will save me $10.
What else do we need to take care of before we get the new season rolling again?
Reds77 and BaseCloggers have confirmed via PM that they will be playing again this year.
We now have 7 confirmed returnees, 5 unconfirmed, and no deserters yet.
Confirmed:
Atomic Dumpling
mbgrayson
camisadelgolf
nate
gilpdawg
Reds77
*BaseCloggers*
Hopefully we will hear from the rest of them soon.
I'm down. What a freaking disappointment my team was last season. Pay-Rod better get out of the gate on fire this season.
I didn't get a PM but I had email issues yesterday.
Yeah, you were terrible!
Yep. I will wait another couple weeks to e-mail everyone....around the middle of February.
