Fantasy Baseball 2009

I'm going to try to recruit people from "over there." 4 people isn't going to do. I would like to have at least 8 but no more than 15. When/if we get enough people we'll start the draft. Note that the following list is not the order of the draft. That'll be made up later using a random list generator. The rules will be in a different thread when/if we get enough people. Post your confirmation in this thread. The following people are already in...

What site will we be using for this?

I already have one set up for mlb.com and sportingnews.com

It'll be in Yahoo, so you'll need a Yahoo account.

Ok so how does this fantasy roster layout go?
Like, how many pitchers and fielders do I get? Just so I know, cuz Ive been making a list of players to pick, and its big.

No, Im not really proud. I have so much narrowing down to do, but most of it will be with the Sophomore Slump. So that should take about 1/8 of the players off.

Does this cost money to play?

Subject: Re: Fantasy Baseball 2009 Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:49 pm

I was going to get to that once we got enough people, but since you asked. I was going to do 25 players (so 25 rounds) that will look something like this...

C
1B
2B
SS
3B
OF
OF
OF
UTL
UTL
UTL

SP
RP

P

BN

UTL can be any hitter. P can be any pitcher, starting or relief. BN can be any player, pitcher or hitter. No points are awarded for someone who is on the bench, but points will be awarded at all other positions. In order to be eligible for a position, the player will have to have played at that position for at least 10 games. So Inge will be eligible for 3 positions (C, 3B and OF (and of course UTL)). Guillen will be eligible for 1B and 3B but not for OF until he plays 10 games there in '09. Starting pitchers have to have 3 starts to be eligible for SP, so David Price won't be eligible there until he makes 3 starts in'09 (but he'll still be eligible for P). In addition, they'll be 3 DL spots when someone gets injured. When a player goes on the DL, you can transfer him to a DL spot and pick up someone on the waiver wire to replace him.
