Wow, getting close to having a league. Time to fire up that NL research. We need at least one and we could use another one or two if possible.

I thought this was dead a couple days ago, but looking good now. :) Dan will move over to the NL if needed while Childs offered to fill in for someone remotely if needed.

If someone is crazy enough to think they can "game the system" by getting penalized with 9.00 era and 3.00 whip to fill up the missed innings rather than plugging in 2-start Rockies off the waiver wire ... I will take those guys on all day long, the more you can find the better.

The fairest way to deal with missed minimums is neither of the above as I've argued before. Penalize the offender to the extent they missed the minimum and adjust their team stats and standings accordingly. If you miss by one inning you should not lose 10 points in standings since plugging in the w...

The AL camp says, "why don't the NL Players crossover?" The single auction challenge....12 player do both leagues (combine with an a partner if needed), combined points for for the overall auction championship. Pay an extra $200 each for $2,500 bonus for the winner (Greg kicks in a $100 to make it ...

I am curently an orphan without an auction family for that Friday (tentative for the Ultimate) & although I’m a Mixed League simpleton, I have been kicking around the idea of trying these auctions but am a bit leery because I’ve never done the format before but I am definitely intrigued & consideri...

Same here, Dave. And I'll add for those who might not normally play in these leagues, you get deep into MLB rosters, much like a DC. With so many players doing 50-round DCs now, here's a chance to put that research into action in a way that you can't do in a 15-team mixed league. These leagues reall...

It's not just me, it's the gang. KJ/Ando/RG/JC.

Call it an experiment.

I would definitely tune in to listen to a "Saul Sorer & Ken Danyon Talk Baseball" podcast.

Why not a DC/Cutline hybrid? You draft 50 players with no FAAB and the scoring is cutline-style. ...or, separately, you use the DC draft and can leverage the same team/league for a cutline? Probably wouldn't work. With DCs you end up with a lot of injured players but at least you're playing 23 agai...

1) I preferred the no-playoff format this year. 2) If you dump the playoffs the season should continue deeper into the season, for sure. 3) If the season is extended another FAAB or two may be needed. 4) Move the first FAAB to the last day of cutline drafts to accommodate early drafters. 5) To make...

just giving feedback like the others b4 me telling KJ "the list didn't make sense". Mark, just to clarify the "didn't make sense feedback" I got was based on the ability of players with a large number of teams to move up the list in spite of mediocre results. That flaw has bothered me for a couple ...

Well, look who came out of the basement* !!

We can will ourselves to not smoke. Or to not eat. Or not drink as much. We have that within our power. Stanton cannot will himself not to get hurt. He can be as determined as all get out as he has the past couple of seasons. But, it's just hope, not will. Simply, he does not have a baseball player...

Ha, I don’t remember what I did yesterday, let alone anything I asked b4 the season. FWIW, I know it’s the “right” thing to say that winning this year shouldn’t be any lesser of an accomplishment, but we all know it is, even if some can’t/won’t say asterisk. That’s okay, your rankings so you get to...
