Fantasy Baseball - slackers begone.
    #7989399 - 02/06/08 09:50 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

We might have to pare it down to 8 teams or something this year. How many did we have last year? 10 or 12? Either way about half of the people or more dropped out. Before I even create a league I want to reach out and see who is interested in playing. If you are a newcomer, please be aware we get real sore and sour at people who drop off if they're not doing too well after the couple of months. Please only play if you're going to play the whole season!

So post here if you're interested in the 2008 league and post whether you'd like to do Rotisserie or Head-to-head.

I'm going to guess I can count on the following people to be interested:

matt
Liz
zappaisgod
Madtowntripper
killme

Who else?

I'm in captain.

I'd kinda like to do Rotisserie again. I didn't fully understand the workings of it when the season began last year, but I clearly do now. Or maybe we can do two leagues, one of each, but that is probably too much for most people.

I think Rotisserie is definitely the way to go, personally.

I hated the Rotisserie.

But only because I was bad at it.

I'm willing to give it another go, if thats the consensus.

You know I'm good to go and you know my position. Head to head is not good if you don't have season long devotion from everyone. That means people fighting to avoid the cellar, too. I think Cowgold will be good if he still wants in. He didn't quit.

I'd love to play, but won't if it's rotisserie again.  I didn't like that at all.  I still played the full season, but didn't enjoy it :frown:  I will absolutely commit to playing the full season in a head to head league, as always.

Head to head is much more fun for me.

Why? You were the worst disapearado in the whole league last year. The absolute worst and you had a great draft that carried you into contention even though you paid zero attention.

You are the poster child for why head to head sucks. Go against you early, you might show up. Go against you late and it's a layup. Sorry dude but you got some 'splainin' to do.
