**** it.

I'm excited and am going to cross my fingers in hope that it might be good.

On another note, where did Kevin go?

Are you even playing Kevin?

You've got SIX guys on your team with more HR's than ANYONE on my team, and you're on pace for -280 innings-pitched.

With more pitching you could have done a lot in this league... but it looks like you've barely managed your team all season.

What's the deal?

Yep.  In 2 Fantasy Football leagues, 2 Fantasy Basketball leagues, 1 Fantasy Hockey league, and 2 Fantasy Baseball leagues here at JD, and one fantasy football league at another site I use, I've never drafted in the top half of the first round.


It's statistically improbable, and annoying as ****.  I've never had access to a top top tier player ala A-Rod, Pujols, LT, Shaun Alexander, Kobe, etc...  they're always ******* gone by my turn.

I don't think it's totally fair, but you make some decent points ala Crawford ofr Matthews Jr...

I still don't like it though, and I'm with Scott - I can't figure out why anyone would give a slanted trade, even if it's not as slanted as I first thought, to the guy in first place.  Dressel seems to have all but thrown in the towel and unloading his second round pick and Thome (who was only picked that low because of his hideous injury-plagued year last year (a year I drafted him in the third or fourth and suffered through)) who certainly isn't a 14th round caliber player in exchange for some solid but unspectacular players.

In the past whenever I've tried to trade with Dressel, or when he's stepped in and given Kevin advice on trading with me, he's never accepted anything less than a deal that was skewed in his favor - and this one simply isn't. 

Maybe it's just me sitting in second place and not wanting you to distance yourself, maybe it's because I don't think the Thome part is fair, but I have to vote against this one.

Nothing personal though - even if Scott and I vote against it, someone else would have to as well and I doubt there is a third vote anywhere, so it will probably go through..

Alright Brent and Dressel, explain to us how the trade you guys have pending is a fair one.

I know the rankings aren't always the most accurate things out there, but I see Brent giving up numbers 89, 144, 60, and 181 in exchange for numbers 24, 26, and 34.

Thome and Crawford are bonafide fantasy studs, Carlos Guillén and Gary Matthews Jr. are guys Brent picked up off the waiver wire recently.  Putz for Capuano looks like a fair deal, but the rest of it stinks.

I'm not pointing fingers, but I don't like the way this deal looks one bit.

Cool. 

FYI, you can test your system right now.  On the "league" page under "League Notes" is a thing that in parenthesis says (test your system).

8 days to go!

Has everyone tested their systems and double checked that the point system is all kosher?

Just so I'm clear, once I've scheduled the live-draft, that's all I have to do to get the league started on time right?  Yahoo should automatically enter the teams once we're done yes?

Also, now would be a good time to place your bets on what spot I'll be drafting at.

I'm giving 100 to 1 odds on the top 3.   :-\

I'm going to up it to 7 - if there is substantial opposition to this I'll change it back.

Update, here's what I found about this:


Quote
Is there an injured reserve spot on my roster?

No, there is no injured reserve position available in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football.

Across all fantasy games, Yahoo! requires a player to be on the real-life DL, IR, IL, etc. in order to qualify for a position there in the fantasy game.

In professional football, if a player is placed on injured reserve, he is deactivated for the season and is not eligible to return. As a result, that player has no fantasy value for the current season.

If a Custom League would like to allow managers to keep IR players for keeper-league purposes, we suggest configuring the league with one extra bench position.


With this in mind, does anyone want to up the number of bench spots back to 7 or 8?  I do.

I don't care how many flex spots, bench spots, IR spots, or point values we have, as long as it's set before the draft starts and remains that way throughout the entire season.

Well I'll say it up front then, it will all stay the same as it is pre-draft, with one exception.  It's everyone's intention for us to have IR spots (we can decide on 1 or 2 right now) but for the life of me I can't find a setting in there about it.

So I'm assuming that it's an automatic thing that Yahoo does and I'm going to see if I can email Yahoo about it.  But if the season starts and we don't have an IR spot or two, I'm going to be trying to fix it to be how we want it to be.

Flourescent fleet trooper that no one in their right mind would want, x4.

Whoo hoo - 6 HR's today (most by my team in any given day) led by 2 from damon with 4 runs scored and 7 RBI (double header)...

And I've got a few pitchers who are doing good things finally... namely Haren and Hamels...

Maybe all hope isn't lost just yet.

Well I'm going to order 3 more then with my extra stickers from the Tusken Raiders and Biker Scouts.  One is going to Brent, if anyone else outside of the country is looking to get one and doesn't have the means or the stickers, let me know.
