ArtieBanks Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I asked several times on here how you guys wanted this set up. Rosters, rules, whatever and I received very little input. Having the innings limit forces teams to actually put focus on SP and RP, not just one or the other. Last year's league didn't have an innings limit and you saw teams throwing 4 relievers and two starters and dominating Saves, WHIP and ERA because their pitchers threw a combined 14 innings. I can still adjust/remove the innings limit, but can't change anything else so we'll have to deal with it this season and when I get one going again next season I will set up a poll for weekly or daily roster locks. Keep in mind there were only about 4 of us that actually logged on a few times a week during last season and we lost a few guys less then half way through the season because of the daily lock. I'd assume that if no or very little input was provided then the status quo would be used, the same settings as the previous few seasons. The thing I am lacking understanding in is how did we lose a few people because of the daily lock, i'd assume it was because they lost interest in it because it is a long season or just simply forgot about it, some even quit the game. Next year from the chatter in the draft chat we will be doing a keeper league? Which will be the first one I have done, so it should be interesting. I'd like to see the innings dropped due to the weekly lock, you can tone it down to 10 innings pitched or 15 innings pitched, it is just with 20 innings pitched and only 6 pitchers with 3 categories up for grabs it will be really difficult to compete in all three fronts.

MilTownMMA Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Just my opinion here, no argument but I still stand by my statement that there is more strategy in weekly lock. I only have 5-6 SP so if I'm lucky 1 will have a two start week. I'm definitely not going to drop a quality SP so I can get a two start SP. it makes you really look at match ups compared to the daily lock that can add/drop pitchers same day and change your lineup just to get the extras K's for the win. I have no problem with lowerng the innings limit if that is what the consensus is, there will just be more demand for relief pitchers.

MilTownMMA Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm definitely for a keeper and was one of the guys that brought it up in the draft message board. In my other league with my buddies, we have 6 keepers with one having to be a rookie and 1 a pitcher. That is too many so maybe keeping 3: 1 position, 1 pitcher n 1 rookie. I like the rookie because people have to take chances on whether a guy will work out for his rookie season and into his sophomore year.

Deuce7 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 YouGottaBe BleepinMe Top 3 Picks: Mike Trout, George Springer, Madison Bumgarner Steal: Stephen Strasburg (6th Round) Sleeper: Jean Segura (18th Round) Overview: How lucky can one team be. Well look at this roster and you'll get your answer. When you manage to get a guy considered to be the best player in the game, Mike Trout, with the #4 pick in the draft, you know luck has to be on your side. Team him up with the up and coming George Springer and you have two young outfielders that could possibly be 30HR/30SB guys. With those two manning the outfield, YGBBM found a diamond in the rough in the form of Jean Segura who could be one of the best offensive shortstops in the game. Getting back to that luck I mentioned, YGBBM snagging a top 5 starting pitcher like Bumgarner in the 3rd round is just down right insane. With Bumgarner as their ace, drafting Stephen Strasburg in the 6th round gives them ace 1A I suppose. Wins from those two will be abundant with both having the potential to win 18+ games year in and year out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtieBanks Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 You know you are having a tough time when David Ortiz steals a base when you are facing him... tomorrow should be interesting though, a lot of ones up in the air for me v JLP, considering I was losing on 9 at the start of the day and now its 7-5 to him, i am fairly happy.

He is definitely on the market. You want to stab Todd Frazier, how do you think I feel about the Mets pitching right now, with Matt Harvey and DeGrom, but apparently DeGrom is getting back this week which is great news and his kid is apparently doing well also. I am mostly looking for a new shortstop, Desmond is just a liability right now, and I seem to have too many 2/3rd base players. Panik has been hitting well, but I prefer avg and runs over the power right now with the way my team is set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you talking about, you have one of the top 5 second basemen in baseball riding your bench! Also when is the next draft analysis coming?

The1rstSaint Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Had to check that out 2nd base is tough to find, and to have Neil Walker on your bench is pretty damn good. I'm surprised he is having such a great start 9 homers from a aging 2nd basemen impressive. I will give you Zobrist for him if you really want one?

Also when is the next draft analysis coming? Trust me, I've been kicking myself for not starting Walker in at least a Utility spot. Next ones will be coming out this weekend. I ended up being much busier then I had planned on over the last few weeks, but trust me I have a few things already written in my head for the remaining teams. Had to check that out 2nd base is tough to find, and to have Neil Walker on your bench is pretty damn good. I'm surprised he is having such a great start 9 homers from a aging 2nd basemen impressive. I will give you Zobrist for him if you really want one? It was funny because I was talking to a co-worker who is in a different fantasy league and helped him find a 2nd baseman for his team. Then two days later I have to fill that void (or I thought I did before I remembered I had Walker) and couldn't find the guy I had him pick up.

The1rstSaint Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I hate when they give a guy a day off when he finally starts to turn it up. I'm speaking of my #1 pick Stanton now watch him start slumping again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My teams bats have really started to heat up now. I was just checking his stat sheet and when I saw that 3 HR game I said yep that is about right. McCutchen is my fantasy curse no doubt. I'm making a lot of changes I know there is still a lot of season left but by far this has been my worst fantasy results ever baseball,football, or basketball.

Deuce7 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Designated Shitter Top 3 Picks: Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Abreu, Todd Frazier Steal: Carlos Martinez (8th Round) Sleeper: Jay Bruce (14th Round) Overview: The one word that best describes Designated Shitter is power! Oh boy does DS have a lot of it. With heavy hitters like Stanton and Abreu dropping bombs, plus Frazier being one of the more powerful 3rd basemen in the game, there shouldn't be any way DS will lose the home run category any week. Don't be too surprised if another guy on the team adds his name to that list, Jay Bruce. While he may not add anything for batting average, Bruce has shown flashes of power in prior seasons and could easily hit 30+ home runs. Getting a reigning Cy Young pitcher in the 5th round seems a bit farfetched, but somehow DS managed to snag Dallas Keuchel to lead his pitchers. The one true gem of the pitching staff, though, is Carlos Martinez. The Cardinals will need someone to step up if Adam Wainwright struggles and that man should be Carlos Martinez, a hard throwing strikeout machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: thanks for dropping Brandon Belt He was picked from Auto pick he may have a record year for all i know just wasnt what i wanted. Domingo Santana and Corey Seager i had high hopes for but if you cant produce on my team and are not a top 8 pick you got to go. Obviously my constant adding and dropping has not worked out so far but still a long season. Cant believe i had 8 starts this week for my SP and only managed 1 win.
