Title: FOnTasy Baseball 2015?
Post by: Hugman 3.0 on February 04, 2015, 12:43:13 PM
Hey Guys and Gals,
Two questions:
1) Who wants to play fantasy baseball this year?
2) Who's up for switching to a roto format this year? Honestly, I don't know if I'm interested in playing head to head again. Especially the way nobody participates in league discussions and half the people don't even respond to trade requests. I'd like to try Roto, where those that end up not playing week in and week out have a decent chance of sinking to the bottom.

Anyone into this idea?

I'll totally play fantasty baseball. I just did a football league with some buddies and I wanted to try another sport. Even better that it would be with some FOTs

I am a baseball fan, but fantasy baseball really stressed me out the one time I did it at work. ..moving people on teams I don't follow to the DL, starting pitchers every few days. I did poorly and was a nervous wreck....is that normal?

Yea, I can't find it either looking for all leagues with 3/22 draft date.

I'm in! Would you guys recommend the app or just doing it directly on the site?

You gotta have the app, but use the web when you can. You will make mistakes or have glitches with the app.

This.

I mostly use the app, but there are certain things you can only do via the website. The app is great though.

Well I got a few late pick Longshots with Lincecum, Beltran ( stay healthy!!) and Tomas. But overall I'm happy worth the team,  don't know if I'll make the top 5, but I stand behind these dirtbags.  I think Panik was an overlooked score,  late pick, but that kid is GOOD. hopefully he'll have an ever better season.  Ended over 300 last year for his half season after getting called up. .. stoked to have Trout and Mad Bum.

Fuckers changed the only rule that matters in this league, and let me know after the draft was complete. You've shat on the welcome mat. You've pissed on Christmas. I hate you all.

what happened? what's going on?

Also, do i need to manage my pitchers? like move P Pitchers into SP Starting Pitcher slots for games they play?

same with anyone on the bench?

As long as they're not on the bench they'll get their stats. But you can have a starter in a RP slot if he's RP eligible. Otherwise it won't even let you do it. Does that answer your question?

yep thanks. And utility players get the same stats as the position players?

great, just noticed I have 3 pitchers on the DL :(

AH, that makes sense. I was wondering why the swapping of players was being wonky.
