in my yahoo league () i have our draft at march 28 9pm. because you never know if someone is going to get hurt and be out the year or something. so sometime around then is fine with me. preferably a Friday or Saturday or Sunday

i know i was telling him there aren't 11 teams right now

[Hollywood42]

It will definitely be Fri/Sat/Sun, we just need to figure out when. I personally am busy every weekend in March except for the 7th and 8th, so one of those two days would be ideal for me

The 7th is a good day for me because I don't see myself having time on a Sunday to do this. Any other Friday or Saturday in March except for the 13th/14th is also fine.

[hitman1116]

if another team is needed I'd like to be considered!

[Hollywood42]

March 7th work for everyone else? Sometime in the evening or night, maybe?

I am not sure if I am overlooking this or not, but are homeruns currently part of the scoring system? If they are not, I think they should be added. Maybe those could be worth 10 points each? I just think that is a big part of the game that should be included.

With the current point system, a solo HR would be 6 points. 1 RBI, 1 for runs scored, and 4 total bases.

[Hollywood42]

Correct. Fantasy scoring is tricky

Does ESPN have a fantasy baseball app?

[Hollywood42]

They do! I haven't ever used it so I can't speak to how good it is, but it exists

I don't see anything in the App Store

[enbambam6986]

Maybe the Yankees retired the app

[Hollywood42]

I searched it earlier this afternoon and found it. iPhone, or Android?

[enbambam6986]

Found it on my IPhone, I guess they don't have one for the iPad. Let's draft tonight!

I'm ready haha, just did another mock.

[enbambam6986]

Joined, now we're only waiting on one team^^^^

How many bye weeks Since we have an odd # of teams?

[Hollywood42]

Waiting on D2R to join, and I still need an e-mail address from Highroller to send him an invite

Is there 11 teams or 12 teams? We have conflicting posts here. I only see 11 teams from my end. Sam, do you still see 12 teams? I currently have 2 bye weeks on my schedule.

I see 11. If there was 12 then I don't think there would be bye weeks. I also see 2 bye weeks on my schedule.

[Hollywood42]

We currently have 11 teams.

[Hollywood42]

We are just waiting on D2R to join, and then we have everyone in and can proceed to the next step. Does someone want to PM him and remind him to follow the instructions in the e-mail invite I sent him? I would, but I have to get to class in a few minutes

Next order of business is twofold: Finalizing our points system, and determining a draft date. I'd like to get the points system set in stone before the draft, as it can effect people's drafting strategy. With the draft, I am thinking either this weekend (quick, but it would be out of the way and we could get trading), or the weekend of the 7th/8th. These are also 2 of the only weekends that would work for me before April.

Please let me know your thoughts on both points and the draft and we will get them both figured out as soon as possible. Thanks!

[enbambam6986]

I would be down for this Thursday or Friday.
