this is the league where everyone on your team is players from the team you chose.

hence, I picked the Phillies.

I also added in a few different stats. check it out. join it.

[thejetstolehome]

i'll give it a try. i'll do the yankees.

[johnx]

Sounds interesting, I'm already in three leagues. I don't know if I can do another one. Do you basically pick a team and that's it for the whole season?

[thejetstolehome]

apparently i can't do it as i already have 4 teams. bullshit.

[johnx]

Nevermind, I'm only in two. I'll do this.

[KB3RG]

im in - took the indians

[livethesounds]

yea, you pick your team and i assume when trades occur you make the same trades. just to see who has the best "fantasy" team out of all of our teams.

and obviously ive got the astros

[DaveFeelsRight]

i'll give it a try

[DaveFeelsRight]

this is yahoo i assume?


cause i keep getting this bullshit:
There was a problem


This league is not registered in this game. (Error #272)
This league is from the free game. (Error #271)

[The Matt Kaufman]

I got the Mets?

[johnx]

Never mind, I'm out. I like the idea..but it just means better team wins, there's no real challenge to it.

yea...maybe you should try joining the free leagues, cause it looks like your trying to do it in the pay leagues.

[livethesounds]

not nessesarily. theres not challenge to it because you cant make your own moves...but

[DaveFeelsRight]

yeah, that was my problem. thanks.

[justinevans]

the challenge is to not play certain players. Also, I will be changing the positions to 1SP, 3RP

[jaimej]

Alright I guess I'll take the Yankees if no one else is.. ;-)

[justinevans]

also, put the name of the team you are choosing.

[justinevans]

Also, trade can be made, but I must approve them...they must be REALISTIC trades.

[DaveFeelsRight]

done

[jaimej]

Too late. My team name is my name, though I'm sure it's obvious what team I'd choose. Haha.

[justinevans]

Too late. My team name is my name, though I'm sure it's obvious what team I'd choose. Haha.

just hit edit team info.

[jaimej]

Done and done.

[livethesounds]

hm...ok, thats kinda cool

and when is the draft for this?

[xearlynovemberx]

is there still room open?

[The Matt Kaufman]

Im glad I grabbed the Mets haha

[livethesounds]

is there still room open?

i think somebody has the mets...matt i guess.

but you can just join as another team you like.

Yanks
Mets
White Sox
Astros
Phillies
Indians

are already there

[jaimej]

Im glad I grabbed the Mets haha

It's me and you, kid.

[xearlynovemberx]

[jaimej]

:puke:

[livethesounds]

im in..im the redsox:-D

haha, since nobody else is around to take them

[The Matt Kaufman]

:puke:

Make sure you get some pedialyte so you dont get dehydrated from all that barfing :-D

It's me and you, kid.

Aw shit

[cantnokdahustle]

Dodgers

[xearlynovemberx]

haha, since nobody else is around to take them

ahha,pretty much

[livethesounds]

well if nearly everyone gets in on this, it could be pretty cool.

[cantnokdahustle]

hmmm... the national league teams are at a bit of a disadvantage w/out a DH. otherwise, why are we live drafting?

[justinevans]

hmmm... the national league teams are at a bit of a disadvantage w/out a DH. otherwise, why are we live drafting?

yeah I know. NL ERAs are generally lower too.

[aloneatlastnj]

i'm in. i picked the Angels.

i was torn between texas, san diego, LA and oakland (?!)..figured there's gotta be something to this Angels team..


so how does this work, exactly? we draft our respective teams and see whose does best?

[nateisawesome]

im in

im taking the Reds

[aloneatlastnj]

this is the league where everyone on your team is players from the team you chose.

guess this explains it all.

[Chriz2z]

I'm in, I got Tigers. Too bad their stats aren't that hot.

[KB3RG]

someone did ask this already....why is this live. we could just have the comish give the players to us or just have it where everyone is a FA and select our OWN players and not allowed to take anyone else that is not on the team. Would have to play honest that way but better than spending an hour to select players from ur team

just pre-rank your players and i'll change it to Auto.

[cantnokdahustle]

pre-ranked.

[Scott Weber]

shit. how do you edit team names?

[Scott Weber]

nevermind, i'm not going to be in this league. if you can only have 4 teams max i don't think i'm down.

[StandMyBrothers]

I'm doing the Twins

[bduke13]

This sounds like a pretty fun idea. I'll be the Orioles

[bduke13]

I pre-ranked. It could go drastically wrong if a couple people dont though

[justinevans]

I think I am going to expand it to cover more statistical categories too. A lot of odd stats, it is not like we care who wins, it is just an experiment to see who is the better overall fantasy team.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe you could also get rid of the Util slot because that hurts NL teams. But if you did that people like Travis Hafner couldn't play

[justinevans]

nah, I'm keeping the Utility spot for NL teams who have someone that pinch hits a lot.


anyway, pre-rank for atleast 25 roster spots.

I set it for 2 catchers, 1 everything else, 1 util, 5 SP, 5 RP, 5 bench positions. 25 man roster like normal.

[justinevans]

thats lame if there is a 4 team max.

[bduke13]

I think someone should pick the Royals

[KB3RG]

I say no to that...that kills my team!

[youkwalks]

Im Oakland since some asshole took the Sox.

[bjam12]

I'm in as the Cubs.

[leftstranded]

sounds like fun. i want the indians

[leftstranded]

fuck nevermind. the league is full

[KB3RG]

sounds like fun. i want the indians


its not like we really have much to do for the teams...i am sure everyone will update how the teams will do...I am the Indians :)

[MrMet]

I think someone should pick the Royals

brian bannister is going to lead that team to a championship.

[StandMyBrothers]

fuck nevermind. the league is full
Hey if you want my spot I gladly give it to you, it's a league I probably will not pay attention too

[Chriz2z]

I just pre-ranked my Tigers. I like how they have 32 Tigers, yet only 25 will make the roster.

[justinevans]

did everyone see some of the stats I did?

[Chriz2z]

did everyone see some of the stats I did?
Hahaha. HBP and Holds.

Although, I may have holds in my own fantasy league, just so I have a reason to draft Zumaya.

[justinevans]

yeah I mean in this league, all that shit matters I guess, I don't know if I meant to put HBP, I think I meant to put HRs allowed., maybe I have both.

I added holds because we will be using entire bullpens.

[Scott Weber]

i'm a late joiner, with the mariners, i'm gonna get smoked

[Scott Weber]

there's 3 more spots left FYI.

[merv the perv]

A few years ago my friends and I did a league where we gave all the teams a seed and you picked a team and you got its opposite (Like if you picked the best team you got the worst team as well) and you could only use players from those two teams. It was kind of cool.

[StandMyBrothers]

When is this draft yooo?
