We're at that time of year again... our 10 team fantasy baseball league is recruiting members! Unlike last year when we only had a couple spots to fill, this year, we may be looking for as many as FOUR new managers.

Here are the rules of our league:

1. This is a dynasty league. This will not changes.

A Dynasty League is a league where you keep ALL your players year to year. If you trade Clayton Kershaw in the middle of a run, you may not ever get him back, because there is NO draft ever. (We sometimes have had expansion drafts when the league got bigger, but that will probably never happen again)

2. The scoring is as such:

Total Bases (TB) - 1
Walks (BB) - 2
Runs Scored (R) - 1
Runs Batted In (RBI) - 1
Stolen Bases (SB) - 2.5
Strikeouts (K) - -1
Hit by Pitch (HBP) - 1
Caught Stealing (CS) - -1
Outfield Assists (OFAST) - 5
Errors (E) - -3

Pitching
Innings Pitched (IP) - 3
Earned Runs (ER) - -3
Wins (W) - 3
Losses (L) - -2
Saves (SV) - 7
Blown Saves (BS) - -1.5
Strikeouts (K) - 1
Hits Allowed (H) - -1
Walks Issued (BB) - -1
Hit Batsmen (HB) - -1
Holds (HD) - 2
Quality Starts (QS) - 4

This IS up for debate and change, but only for league members, non league members have no say in how the scoring changes. One thing that will not change is that this is a H2H points league. That's a staple of this league.

3. You are not required to be active the entire year, but it's a major plus.

We prefer activity obviously, and the more active you are, the more likely we are to enjoy having you in the league. Activity doesn't mean pestering owners with trade offers (a lot of trades happen in this league). Activity does mean looking at your team and putting injured players on the DL.

4. To join, you must post in this thread. If the owners in the league agree (via email), then you will be invited to take over your choice of one of the empty teams.

5. Membership is retractable. If you are hurtful to one of the members of the league, you will be evicted, never allowed to return.

6. There are other minor rules. If you have questions, ask here or via PM.

Again, we hope to fill in as many as FOUR manager slots. If you are accepted, you will be PM'd a list of the empty teams to choose from, complete with players. And we're rather desperate, so we'll probably accept anyone willing to claim one of those four-ish teams.

We do not have a "draft" date set, by the way, because there is no draft. I'll just be making sure you keep all your players.

legacyme3 : I would like to join then. I figured out the Fantasy Football League fairly quickly, so I should be able to manage this. 

Also, how is it hosted so I can download an app for it while I am at work doing nothing?

thing1 :

Most effectively, it's done through the fantasy baseball site on ESPN.

However, there's an app for it that I barely use myself, so I can't say it works or doesn't work. My friend in the league mainly plays using it though, so you may find that to your benefit.

Because we need a member right now, you can join if you take the team I'm about to PM you.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait until we know who else won't be back.

Yeah, trading is easy enough. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to improve your pitching, but it'll be nice to have someone active around.

I'm about to summon everyone who has ever posted in the MLB thread on site...

If you get a summon, please read the thread, and let me know if you would be interested in joining. We presently have 3 teams that should be replaced.

patar4097 :
tornadocam :
zanderlex :
MattyIce :
Barathemos :
Chewedmint :

Obviously, there are only three teams I can replace right now. If for some reason more than 3 of you are interested, I "can" theoretically add more teams, so long as there isn't an odd number of teams.

I would still suggest reading. Especially the part where this is a DYNASTY LEAGUE.

That's very important. You will basically inherit one of the worst teams in the league and have to build it up.

This is a big job.

Well, that's not really how it works, I'll send you a list of teams that MIGHT need a new owner (no guarantee you get them), and you look over the team, to determine if you want any of those teams.

The teams are filled with mixmash of players from around the league. Some might be on the Rockies, some on the D'Backs, a couple from the Yankees, etc.

I'll send you the lists via PM, so you can look over them.

-----

We presently have 3 teams left to pick, 2 if the team Cam chooses (if he chooses any) that may be claimed. No guarantee you will get them as I'm still trying to contact the old owners, but I suspect those teams will need owners! It's more or less first come, first serve!

I don't think you were mistaken. I think you saw the list of players already, so I think you might have a better idea of how it works.

What you were describing would be called a "Loyalty" league, where each team drafts a team and have to keep a specific amount of players from that team on their team.

It's an idea I've toyed with, but need 16 dedicated managers to bother doing.

thing1 :

Sometime in the next month. It's been kind of quiet to start the year. The season starts in April and most teams have set rosters.

I doubt you will get many offers at first, simply because you are taking over a borderline team. It'll be up to you to start making offers probably. Here's a guide to who is presently active...

Xander Bogaerts - Me (also unlikely to trade right now, given I'm the reigning champ)
San Jose Thunder - best friend irl. Checks offers frequently.
The Terrible Terrible Team - off-site friend. Checks offers somewhat frequently in my experience.
Prince of All Cosmos - off-site friend. Checks offers sporadically.
STL YAHMONNERS - mlb789. Checks offers sporadically.

Beyond that, it's been tough getting people who check their offers at all. Your best bet is free agency, because all the teams listed above finished above the team you took over with the exception of the YAHMONNERS. Hard to get something in a trade when you have little of value.
