I'll be in. I think the password's wrong though.

EDIT: never mind I got in, the M in Manny has to be capitalized.

My bad, I always make my passwords all lower case, guess i got messed up with the first letter of a name.

On another note, I think we probably will be able to fill 20 spots with the activity this site gets.

I kind of like the idea...too many people may not show on Mar. 11th, and this is probably the fairest way to do it. Luck of the draw I guess you'd call it. This is my first time playing fantasy league baseball, so who ever has played it before would know more about drafting players automatically. Drafting is the key thing I thought to fantasy baseball, so my question is, what is the point of doing it if you don't choose your players?

element1151

Can someone please explain to me more about the draft tonight and about the league in general. (1st time for fantasy league baseball) To begin with, what's everyone's payroll?

Is there some info on the set up, somewhere on the Yahoo Sports Fantasy League Page?

There's no payroll of your players, basically there's no salaries so everyone is free of charge.

Anyone in need of a good first baseman, I have one in Scott Hatteberg (he's backing up Pujols). He's batting .299 with 6 RBIs. He's very reliable, so someone like the Springfield Rifles, Toon, aclbosox, or maybe even Sizzlin22 could use him if they were intrested in a trade.

Also, I'm not in need, but a chance at getting an OF or possibly a SS from someone would be nice. I'm sure I could work something out with someone.

I'm willing to make just about anything work, INCLUDING a possible trade of Albert Pujols, Joe Mauer, or Eric Gagne. Things aren't working out for me right now...TheGame's team, I see you also have Hillenbrand and I'm thinking with the talent in our two clubs, we could work out a MASSIVE trade. I don't know your name on here, so respond back on here.

Texas PawSox players to trade:
A. Pujols- 1B

Also, anyone looking for a first baseman, I have Lyle Overbay who is really starting to heat it up (hitting .320 w/ 6 RBI last week) and although practically no one has a catcher thats producing, I would like to see about trading for one.

Another thing: It would be nice if we started posting on this thread more. I don't know if it's because this is always at the top and we never really look at it or what, but it would be helpful if we started giving updates about our team on here.

That's the only problem with baseball fantasy leagues. I've been trying to keep up my best with the league, but when you're in your first year of the league and you don't have a great draft and you follow it up by making a bad trade or two it's tough to be any better than 9 or 10 in the 16 team league. As they now say in New York: Wait 'til next year.

I'll ride out the season, but man this has been a tough year for the Texas PawSox. :(

Sox fan in Tex
08-16-2005, 01:20 AM
Another suggestion: We may not want to have this thread always posted at the top. I think if it's not always stuck at the top, it won't be passed up like it is right now. More trades will be made and more attention will be payed to the fantasy league if we do that.

Geez, no wonder Mexico City Mexicans is leading the league by 9.5 games. His pitching is just phenominal and his hitting is tearing it up. Whoever that is, really was able to draft some great players.
