league on Yahoo this year?  If so, I'm up for it.
Snabbit888Posted on 03/19/06 at 06:04:49

I would be as well.
John ProulxPosted on 03/19/06 at 08:54:01

Ditto.

-- Your new League ID# is 257300.
-- Your draft is set for Mon Mar 27 10:15pm CST (that's right after WWE RAW)
-- Password: olivercopp

Please note that this league is not using the standard defaults for stats. I have also included a couple fielding stats (1 good and 1 bad), some additional batting stats, and some additional pitching stats (losses count against you!)  And that all teams will have a 25 man roster consisting of the usual infield positions and specific outfield positions instead of the generic "OF" designations.

This is available to the first 7 that sign up.

Since the draft is on my birthday, I should get the #1 pick as a birthday present.

THANKS IN ADVANCE, RICK!

Looks like both John and Ryan missed out on the signup,  unless they are entered under other names.  All 8 spots are full... and Chris you're welcome.  :)
Snabbit888Posted on 03/21/06 at 04:58:12

D'oh... ah well.  I've been in California all week so I haven't been checking all this stuff as frequently as usual.  Ah well.  As long as Carp loses, I'll be all right. :)
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/21/06 at 05:38:01

based on all the quirks I put into the rules for this one... it really could be ANYONE's game to lose this year. from the 25 man rosters, to the stats that can cause you to lose points... this could be one tough one to predict, even with Carp's birthday present.
And to be fair Ryan, only 2 people (myself and one other) had signed up as of midnight last night.  But by 5 pm today, the 6 others had been added.
CrplsPosted on 03/21/06 at 12:58:08

Why such a small league anyway? You could at least increase it to ten so we can get Ryan in.
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/21/06 at 14:32:39

I don't want it to be like most leagues where it turns into a Ron Popeil infomercial where people just "set it and forget it"
CrplsPosted on 03/21/06 at 22:02:32

Then why'd you let me join? :p

(Actually, since it's the only one I'm joining, I'll probably pay attention. Especially since I have MLB.tv and I can school y'all.)
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/22/06 at 03:18:34

cause the draft is on your birthday.  :)  And because it's always funny trying to make a trade with a guy not following along.  ;)  MLB.tv, eh?  Let me know how it is, since I have some connections at the offices in New York.
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/22/06 at 03:40:46

I have just opened up 4, yes count 'em, 4 MORE SPOTS in the league.

Ryan, here's your second chance.  :)
Snabbit888Posted on 03/22/06 at 05:52:47

I'm now in... live draft?
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/22/06 at 14:50:34

Yes live draft, next Monday (the 27th) following Monday Night Raw!
John ProulxPosted on 03/23/06 at 02:06:54

Crap, I didn't notice it was a live draft. No way I can hang around for that long.

By the way, yes, I did sign up as the Auckland Tony Gareas. I may have to send someone a list or something...
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/23/06 at 04:23:54

Hey John, you can always pre-select a list on yahoo, and it will draft in the order that you select provided that those on your list haven't already been picked.  It is a rather nice feature if you can't be there the whole time of the draft.  And I have used it on more than one occasion to "steal" some pretty good players.
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/23/06 at 04:25:21

And BTW, there are 3 spots available.... if no one else should join, by Saturday morning, I will adjust the number in the league to meet the number of spots filled at that time.  

Thanks to all that have joined.  The idea of a 25 man roster should provide for a rather fun league.
Snabbit888Posted on 03/28/06 at 02:08:34

Note that I will not be able to be at the live draft, but I have my picks ordered.  I kind of like the challenge of seeing who I end up getting and then working from there anyway.  But I am paying attention, just not tonight. :)
Rick GarrardPosted on 03/28/06 at 05:48:41

Live Draft starts in less than 30 minutes... call your local cable operator for pay per view availability in your area.... er wrong promo... but you get the point.  If you signed up for the league, the Draft is at 11:15 EST.  

Good luck
