ATOT Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball Pay League

[TangoJuliet]

Just by looking at the responses here the following are down for a $10 buy in.
Those people are:
TangoJuliet
BudAshes
Jschmuck2
Doodoo
ric1287
Yzzim
faenix
sjwaste

I sent out some PMs to other people that have responded to the thread but didnt specify which method they would prefer to play: free or $10. If everyone above agrees to play for $10 then we have 7 teams and I have another 2 friends that said they would play as well - bringing the total up to 9 teams. I would prefer to have a minimum of 10 teams.

Edit:

If we do end up doing a pay league I would still like to have a free league perhaps make it H2H? It would all depend on how many people would still want to participate. I usually have 4-8 teams per year so I don't mind.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Ehhh, I dunno - does it seem like free would be easier at this point?

Well, we only got 6 people signed up for the free league. Seven people have said they would prefer to pay and I have 2 non AT friends that want to play bringing the total to 9.

Any chance we can move the draft up a little earlier or later? 5PM EST I'll be sitting on a train heading home

replied to PM and I'm down for a pay league. I've registered my team as of a couple mins ago.

x2

I'll still be at work.

I can probably sneak away for a little bit if the time is unable to be changed, but just wondering since it seems that's probably not the best time for folks that work the 8-5. I'm on the west coast so...

 

[TangoJuliet]

Update: We had someone reply in the league already that said they would prefer to play for $10. So if everyone from the above list agrees then we will have 10 teams.

Sure, the draft is not set in stone. I really can't do anything past 8pm EST on Thursday and I'm going to be busy on Friday. Would Saturday work say around 5pm EST?

Edit: dabuddha are u in for free or $10?

That would work perfect for me.

Alright, great. Lets plan for the draft this Saturday at 5pm EST.

Sat. 5pm is fine with me.

We need few more teams, however

Yep, I am aware. Just waiting on some more responses.

If you have spots I would play. Hell what's one more team to manage...

 

[Stallion]

Ok, so I just got signed up and noticed it was a rotisserie league? I thought we were doing head to head...

If its going to be for money then it'll be rotisserie. If its free then we'll go with H2H.

There are 9 people signed up so far with 2 saying they'd rather play for free. So if it goes to a pay league then we are at 7 teams with 2 (maybe 3) of my friends wanting to play.

I have about 4 more people here on AT that were interested in playing for money that have not responded to my PMs yet.

I would prefer to do head to head, too. I already lost interest in my basketball league (even though I was winning).

 

[Jschmuck2]

People lose interest in Roto much quicker - especially after 3 or 4 teams pull away.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Also, is there going to be a weekly moves limit to prevent streaming?

 

[RadioHead84]

I thik I am down...but I would like a pay

 

[Stallion]

Even with money involved roto is kind of lame. I got into one a few years ago and it wasn't as fun as the head to head. Especially when we can all talk smack to who ever we are playing for the week.

Yeah, I understand that but atleast it will be less so when money is involved. If we were playing for free I'd opt for the H2H because there is more of a chance of teams being abandoned.

Hmm not sure. I'll have to look into the settings. There are a games limit per position (162) and max innings pitched so its a little different then football where a waiver position becomes important.

Looks like we are heading to a pay league. PM me with your email address and I'll send you the log in info

The only problem I have with H2H is that it can be a hinderance to some teams. If you have good SP then you can have a bunch of them start one week and then have none start the next week. It also gives weaker teams more of a chance to beat the better drafted teams if they get hot one week.

In football its different because there is only one game a week. Baseball is very very different in that manner where guys get occasional days off with matchups and whatnot.

I just checked there is no setting(s) for weekly moves limit - only a season limit.
