So, every player that is not currently in position "BN" counts for me?  Like, I just have to make sure that every player I want to count for me is assigned a position in my roster-- 5 pitchers active at once, 9 fielders (I guess I get a utility player/"DH" as a "fielding" position)?

By this time next year I'll be making spreadsheets based on the Baseball Prospectus and shit.  But for now, dumb questions.

That's pretty much it, yeah.

If you're still looking for players for another league, I'd be interested in joining.  I'm more of an "NL-only" kinda guy, but whatever you want to do is fine with me.

My league's already drafted, by I think Matthew_S said he might do one. Haven't heard anything official yet, though.

Love that icon, BTW. Ever see "The Zen of Bobby V"?

I think you would make it a total of eight teams for Matthew S' league, which is a respectable number.  I am ok with any type of league - if it were AL or NL I would prefer NL as well, but don't want someone to miss out on drafting players from an AL team if they favorite team is from that league.  I'm happy with whatever Matthew S decides.  Season starts in a week, so let's get the ball rolling!

sorry for the back to back to back posts - just thought I'd mention that I looked into the espn draft page - the main questions seem to be roto or head-to-head scoring, and type of draft.  I've never done a true roto league before, but if I understand it correctly it might be the best option if we end up with an odd number of teams.  A live auction would be fun to, but given the short time left before the league and availability of people and length of time for an auction draft to occur, might not be feasible?

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

I was just trying out ESPN's league create settings.

One key apparent difference visavis Yahoo is that you need to know the exact # of teams when you are creating the league....

SO, everyone interested please PM me your email address ASAP.

I'm thinking a roto NL only league.  As this is new and experimental, I thought we'd try out a 6x6 scoring, with OBP instead of AVG and add in least K (hitters) and Holds for P.

If consensus prefers otherwise, I am certainly flexible.

(If I have a chance later on, I will PM everyone who indicated interest to let them know about this message...)

Yes I have.  Good stuff.  I've been pining for Bobby V ever since he left my beloved Mets.

Yes, The Zen of Bobby V is tremendous. I like Bobby Valentine, but I'm also a fan of Jerry Manuel. I think he's done a fine job thus far. I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only Mets fan here.

Yeah, I do agree that Jerry Manuel's done a good job.  I can't wait for the start of the season.

Also, include your timezone.

The Mets have a habit of discarding their most successful managers (see also: Davey Johnson). What Bobby V was able to the 1999/2000 Mets was pretty amazing. They had one sort-of ace and totally anonymous outfield.

I think that my team's fans should display "rally trucknutz" when we are behind. 

Or, they could all rally vomit.

That draft went well. I think Julie's team will be tough to beat. Yordany Ramirez is a beast.
