Fantasy Baseball - slackers begone.

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.

Count me in for sure. It doesn't matter to me what type of league we do.

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 I will absolutely commit to playing the full season in a head to head league, as always.

Okay so far that's five committed...and we will be doing Rotisserie style. So, Liz, buck the fuck up.

No you didn't man, sorry. I check the League Activity page all the time and you had 2-3 week periods of not updating your lineup, though you did, while in last place or second-to-last, return to updating your rotation daily in August, after missing good chunks of June and July.

Dear deadHead; Like I said, you were a poster child for my argument against head to head. You weren't the only one though. Out of the 12 teams we had in the league 5, that's right 5, didn't actively manage their teams. Yarry, Ripple, lysergicide, you and whoever had the Sconnies. I don't know if Deadmaker bailed so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but that is still almost half of the league that quit at some point. That is not dreadful in a rot league but it totally fucks up head to head.
I am not advocating that you not get an invite, just that head to head is a bad idea with a bunch of slackers in the league. The reasons are so obvious to me that I don't know why anyone would continue to move for head to head with this community. Other communities, sure. This one, no.

ill tell you now I am not a slacker..ive been playing fantasy baseball via yahoo since 2002...and last year was my first roto league. like i said maybe it was lack of experience...maybe i went on dry spells not updating my team..but with head to head, i am more likely to pay attention all season. like i said this was 1 of 4 leagues for me last year, and easily the least paid attention to because it was roto.

Your excuse is utterly irrelevant to my point which is, once again, that having disappearing owners fucks up the competition in head to head leagues far more than in Roto. Because of the nature of this community it would be foolish to expect that will change. Maybe for you it will but somebody else will have to be in the desert next year. It doesn't matter. In a Roto league they only fuck themselves. In head to head they skew the competition. That's why there are competition rules in all the major sports. You aren't allowed to tank games no matter how much you suck.

I slacked off by mid year being in the middle of the pack, I paid much closer to the money league I was in for obvious reasons and actively managing two teams on a daily basis takes a lot of attention.

I definitely slacked last year so I won't try and get in, but I WOULD very much like to have updates on how everyone is faring. Can we do that?

I really do want to play again, but I can't for the life of me fully figure out rotisserie style, so I can't get in to playing...I didn't slack off TOO Much last year, but I forgot to change my lineup a few times because I simply wasn't as in to it. If we can play head to head, I'm totally in. Maybe we could do 2 leagues....the smaller one being a head to head one where everyone commits to playing the full season?

I'm in. Six teams would work. We might consider using only one league then. Or not, doesn't really matter.

Okay! I made the league a while back and forgot about it.

If you're going to talk about your own personal pussy you should at least include pics. Just so we can relate to what's being discussed.
