Fantasy Baseball - Live Draft, PLUS League
#6611920 - 02/26/07 09:20 AM (17 years, 1 month ago) |

The league has been upgraded to a PLUS league, the new address is: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b2.
I'd like to hear ideas for Live Draft dates. Here are some suggestions:
Saturday March 17 Saturday March 24 Saturday March 31 (day before the first game of the season - most up-to-date info on who's doing what coming outta spring training, who's injured and who is not)
I would suggest sometime between the 24th and 31st...as late as possible. The 24th might be ideal, people could start working trades a week before the season starts.

Any of these is fine w/ me.

I'd suggest Saturday March 24th at around 3 PM Eastern Standard Time, that gives the west-coast kids (if we have any) plenty of time to be up by noon.

Up by noon? UP BY NOON? Those slacker bitch West Coast fags have already fucked up the playoffs and MNF with their precious "needs" that games end past midnight on the real coast, the coast that made this nation great, as opposed to the coast that brought us valley girls and Paris Hilton. (I'm just busting balls. Saturday afternoon as late as possible is good for me)
Anyway, live it is. But I would go later. Classic Rot ball calls for the draft the first week after the season starts just so there are no late scratches that no one could possibly know about. With 11-12 teams that could be an issue. But, there should definitely be an appearance consideration, as in you have to show.

I agree that people should have to show up for the live draft...it's so annoying when someone doesn't show up, and they get put on autopick I hate inactive fantasy managers
I don't much care when we draft, as long as it's not during opening day...I'll be at Fenway

I wish there was an option in the autodraft that if someone obviously isnt there that we could set things up to not have to wait for the timer.
That would make life 10X better.

Wish I had seen this sooner since I'm flying home form California on Saturday the 24th!
How did we get the upgrade to a plus league?
That usually costs about $125

Aw, then we should change the date if you can't be there for that. Maybe make it later at night or the next day or something? I think it's only fair if it's on a day/time that people can be reasonably expected to be there for...and Ripple cannot be expected to draft from an airplane

Yes, but by that logic, we would never be able to do a draft because I'm sure that whatever day is chosen that at least one person won't be able to make it.
It doesn't matter much to me what day it is. I pretty much have constant access to the internet.

See, I disagree. I would be willing to bet that we can find a day that everyone in our league can be there and draft live, or at least a day that people have a CHANCE to be able to be there and draft their teams...it's not Ripple's fault that he's on a plane that day, which is pretty much like the 1 place you can't get internet access nowadays. Cut the man some slack

I, for reasons already stated, think it should be no earlier than the next weekend, the 31st. That being said, the 25th is also on a weekend.

I bet Liz wishes SHE did. And hey, Liz, what did you have to do to get those opening day Fenway tickets? I hope it wasn't too distasteful.
Oh my zappa this is going to be fun.

I have tickets to like 30 games at Fenway this year. As for opening day, I won a contest with the sox for a chance to buy 4 tickets to either opening day or 1 of the 9 sox vs yanks games at Fenway. I went for 4 opening day...a friend of mine also won the contest, and she got 4 for a yankees game...I'm giving her 2 tix to opening day, she's giving me a pair to the Yankee matchup. Works out well for everyone
Doesn't hurt to know a few people in the box office, too
Just to clarify though, I would do some pretty distasteful things for opening day tickets at Fenway. It just so happens that this year, I didn't have to.
