If you want to sign up for the league, make a post that you will join in.
~~We have about 3 other people right now possible interested in joining. A good league has 7 to 12 people.

We need more people!!!!!

DONT BE AFRAID TO JOIN IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME, FANTASY IS VERY EASY

I WOULD LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best idea anyone has ever had on smashboards, seriously...
I call Ken Griffey Jr. by the way, so...

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've used Yahoo in previous leagues and it has always been really nice, so I vote that.

EDIT2: Even if we don't get too many people in this about 7-8 is decent, somehow I don't see too many people getting as psyched as me on this topic so... yeah...

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

Don't all jump in at once........

 

[kigbariom]

Well....... Thanks for everyone's cooperation.

Spoiler

2 isn't enough. Hang in there Smashboards Baseball Association! We are now SBA

 

[Brav3r]

Lol would participate but im completly new to the fatasy sports thing. Plus i never paid much atention to baseball. But, if you can try to help me out with a few tips or somthing ill see what i can do. Im interested but i dont know if its worth my time.

 

[kigbariom]

Don't worry, normally I play pretty laid back and Yahoo is a very simple configuration. I'm kinda new to it and it is really fun.
The beginning matters the most. But its easy. Every once and a while just log in and make sure nobody is injured, watch for trades and just make sure the team is ok.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

Yea yahoo is definately not as complicated as espn plus they give you alot of free tools to make it easier. And if your not sure how to really make good draft picks just read these profiles and projections.....

edit: people c'mon fantasy is like the coolest thing ever we need more people!

 

[Silent Beast]

If you guys do Yahoo, I'd be interested. And kigbariom, Junior's all yours.

 

[kigbariom]

Thanks champ.
We still need more people, and if Nick is ok with it I think Yahoo is the was to go.

 

[Brav3r]

he he so we got more people interested?

 

[kigbariom]

I got my team ready, but I doubt you won't be taking my guys, so...
I don't think we have enough people. Maybe after a few more bumps we can get someone.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

i know the nerds to jocks ratio is pretty high but this is depressing.......

 

[Brav3r]

lol There should be more baseball fans here or somting.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

So howabout dem Rays?

Spoiler

bump

 

[BASEBALLFURIES]

what kind of draft would we do?

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

Probably random order. Custom draft would be lame seeing how nobody even knows eachother.

 

[kigbariom]

Yeah, and some people may not know as much as others here.

 

[BASEBALLFURIES]

i meant what type of draft (live, auto), also scoring type?

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

updated front page. Not set in stone. suggestions open too.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

I am seriously going to shoot myself if I have to bump this thread one more time so I hope this is the last.

 

[Brav3r]

heh, we starting to get organized?

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

Just about every rule I posted is common sense. We just need more people! ahhhhhhhhh!!

 

[kigbariom]

So, since we are here, who you guys rooting for this season?
I don't think this is going to work out with like 4 people.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

BJ Upton, Carl Crawford, Evan Longoria are all going to have the best season ever. Im actually thinking of drafting nothing but Rays players.

Gotta rep mah hometown.

 

[KING BRISKET]

Anyone wanna join a private league, PM me. There's already 5 ppl. Draft is set for the 28th

Oh yeah, it's Yahoo!

 

[strawhats]

go mets and carlos delgado for mvp.

 

[LewsTherin]

Where to join?

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

Yo just so everybody knows, I probably won't be hosting a league here since i've already joined 3 others with my friends but theres still a chance. In the meantime keep discussing players and projections.

BJ Upton is king of florida.
