0 Subject: Just-for-Fun Yahoo! League (Baseball, Autopick)

Posted by: ¤ Mario LeMoose ¤ - [26245121] Mon, Mar 01, 2004, 22:45

(This announcement has also been posted in the Baseball Forum.)

Can't let the baseball season begin without trying something different, so I've concocted a league that combines what used to be good about ESPN's Baseball Challenge (all stick, no arm ... just like the 2004 Evil Empire) with the flexibility of Yahoo!

League: Batteries Sold Separately (ID# 185616)
E-mail me for the password.

The league name says it all: No pitchers or starting catchers, although you can include the latter on your team by utilizing another roster position.

Maximum teams: 20
Scoring type: Rotisserie
Player universe: All baseball
Maximum player acquisitions: 40
Maximum trades: 40
Trade reject time: 2 days
Trade end date: August 29, 2004
Waiver time: No waivers (unless I'm mistaken, this means "dropped today, free agent tomorrow")
"Can't Cut" List provider: Yahoo! Sports
Trade review: Commissioner
Post-draft players: Follow waiver rules (see "Waiver time" above)
Maximum games played, per position: 162
Weekly deadline: Daily-tomorrow
Start scoring on: Tuesday, March 30, 2004
Roster positions: 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, OF (3), Util (2), Bench (5), DL ... that's a 15-player roster, plus one DL slot
Stat categories: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OPS

The draft will be conducted via autopick, the final weekend in March; minimum of 10 teams required.

Looking for at least four more managers to "make" this league ... any brave souls out there with time for some low-stress baseball? Assembling a team without pitchers would be similar, if you will, to managing a fantasy hockey team without having to worry about your "stud" goaltender blowing a 3-0 lead and letting five past him in a single game ... like bleepin' Khabolai Nikibulin did against the Bruins (I took that one very personally).

The password alone makes this league worth joining. ;-)

No "dead" teams, please.

Pulling the plug on this league ... maybe midseason will be a better time.

Mid season won't get here fast enough, your Mooseness.
