2010 MLB Season Discussion

[*Shinzon*]

I haven't participated in a Fantasy league in awhile, I suppose I'm down

[CalaisDL]

I would definitely like to participate if there's room. I haven't done fantasy baseball for a few years and was looking forward to doing some this year.

[Saga]

Score, glad there's enough interest. People can either do a search for Blue Gartr on this page:

Or PM me their gmail addresses and I can invite them that way.

I couldn't do a morning or early afternoon draft for a few weeks, even on weekends. :\

[Moss]

looks like me v. Saga 1v1, good times

[Kurp]

I'd definitely play, but I'm waiting to see what the draft day and time gets set as. Fantasy baseball takes a lot of time and I don't want to commit to a league if I'd be playing a failboat CPU drafted team.

[Saga]

Team B*tches be goin downnnnn

Kurp, can you designate a proxy for the draft or something? Maybe me or Moss could select for you if you give us a list of first, second and third choices for the first few rounds.

[Moss]

Right now the draft is set for around this time next week, does that not work for you?

[Kurp]

That's a possibility for sure. Any reason why the draft is so early though? Opening day isn't for another 5-6 weeks.

Draft Type: Live
Draft Date: Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 12:30 PM ET
Seconds Per Pick: 90

No reason in particular, just wanted to get it done and set up sooner than later.

[Moss]

Yeah... it would probably be a better idea to move the draft to 3-4 weeks from now, can still go ahead and get people invited.

[Soa]

I'll be at work during the draft so I'll have to take a pass, no way am I playing with an auto-draft team.

Akiyama, Mod of Modliness aka Sports, demands the draft change to be moved into a later date.

But no, srsly. Early drafts are bad because we all know what pansies baseball players are, and I don't want to draft a player I wouldn't be able to use for a month, ala A-Rod last year. Granted I won my league on Yahoo, but still.

[Saga]

Good point, didn't even think of injuries. Alright, I'll move it then. I need to create a whole new league then right? Also, would Saturday or Sunday evening work for people? Like 7 or 8 EST either of those nights?

The Tigers have reached agreement on a one-year deal with Johnny Damon, according to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports (via Twitter).

Boras wanted either 2 years or 1/7 with no money deferred. Looks like the Tiggers caved in, way to go assholes.

You should be able to just move the draft time without deleting the league.

[Akiyama]

Lol. Enjoy your dipshit, Tigers.

I signed up for the league. I should be able to make time for a draft any evening or night with the exception of Tuesdays.

[Byrd]

I signed up for the league. I should be able to make time for a draft any evening or night with the exception of Tuesdays.

I'm signed up as well. However, I am Pacific time and don't usually get home until 530 or 6 my time, which means I would need to start at 9pm EST on a weeknight. Weekends are usually wide open for me, though. If 9/10 people can make it, I'm willing to auto-draft, but would prefer not to for obvious reasons.

[Saga]

Alright, gonna put in a request to change the draft time to Sunday, March 28th at 9pm EST. It goes to a vote, so just need 6 people (all we have in a league anyway) to approve. On the League page, if you guys go to "Referanda" right underneath "League" and next to "Members," you can access the page to vote on the new draft. Let me know if anyone has any objections to that and we can see what else we can work out.
