I got it Boagie, but can you change the draft time? I work that day until 9 pm EST. I really don't want an auto drafted team!

Now I'm seeing you changed the date to Sun. Feb 28. That works for me, hopefully it's good for the others too

Guys, we need 3 more people to fill out our fantasy league. There will only be 5 teams in the league so you will have a good amount of all-star caliber picks to choose from at each position. It might be fun as a side topic to this season. Even if you're not interested, do u a favor and join anyways to just fill us up?

To all the guys hesitating, you'll find it's a lot of fun. And there's no money involved here, so it's no risk. If you don't like it, you can just set up your team and leave it there all year without making changes.

Where are you, Rog? You're in five leagues already, this will hardly take up any more additional time.

I never played Fantasy as it is today......80 years ago we had a brand of fantasy of our own...it was run by a 10 year old bookie....you could pick any 3 hitters (playing for any team) for the game "today"...and they needed 6 hits to win....you bet a penny to win (?) some small amount...the problem was to get a penny....we didn't have the stats to tell us how Ott hit against Mungo...

Looks like it won't work out with these guys, Boagie. You should consider pushing the draft back and making the league public so we can have some more competitors

I'm kind of surprised Rog wouldn't want to join, I'll give it until Friday and then we'll go public.

Sounds good. Rog has been emailing me about joining a fantasy league together, so perhaps he just hasn't seen this post

OK I narrowed it to just 4 teams now. All we need is two more to fill our league. Rog? Boly? Don? Randy?

I'm guessing this isn't going to work out Boagie. Let me know if you start a public league, I'll be happy to compete with you and some other guys, or we could just both sign up for a public league together. I'm hoping Rog is ok, because his silence here is surprising, because he's already discussed joining a league with me

We still have a long time until the season starts. I'm going to stretch it out until we get an answer from Rog, Boly or Don. If they never answer or choose not to I can open it up to the public. I thought it would be fun to play fantasy baseball this season, but mostly I thought it would be fun to play with people here so I do want to allow ample time for them to join as long as the season hasn't started. In the end I do want to play whether they play or not, I'd just prefer to wait for them.

I'm in another league that drafts March 29, so no reason you can't push the draft back and give everyone plenty of time to respond

Sorry I missed this, guys. I'm just headed back from Los Cabos, so I'm just seeing this. I'd love to join. What day and time did you choose, Boagie?
It's ironic that I almost missed this, since I am right now waiting for a mock draft to post at Yahoo.com. I've got a lot more prep work, but I'll have to get on it.

The draft is set for Sunday at 6pm eastern time. If you want to expand then I'll have to push back the draft again. But it's up to you and Mark. I only kept it small because I wanted it to be just us here, but we're one short of the minimum it takes for a league, so we'll have to open the last spot to the public anyways.

Yeah, I'd like to see it expanded to about ten teams. Push back the draft a week or two to get more members. We can still compete with each other and show the other teams how much smarter we are than them!

I'm working at 6:00 Eastern tomorrow. I hope we can indeed move it back. With more notice and perhaps a 6:00 Eastern start I would think all of us could make it. If we're going to expand, I like the 12-team format best (even though my primary league is 10-team), since it makes use of the marginal fantasy players that really test one's knowledge.
If we set a date, I can make sure I complete my preparation too. This should be a lot of fun. Is it roto or H2H? Draft or auction? I'm hoping for roto and draft.
Here's something that is kind of interesting if not surprising. I inadvertently entered an auction league last year. Since I didn't even know I was playing, the computer drafted my players for me. That team did nearly as well as the teams I drafted!
I would encourage everyone to play. I realize Boly and perhaps others think fantasy is a waste of time, but keep in mind that both Mark and I thought we would never play -- yet had a blast when we did so last year. I can honestly say I learned a fair amount about the players that I didn't know before.
Whether I had learned about the players or not, the game was FUN! I mean REALLY fun.

I pushed the draft back a week because you haven't even joined yet, Rog. And people might be more likely to join if you didn't dictate what kind of settings you prefer. Which is the negative of fantasy sports, someone is always unhappy about the draft, league setup..Ect. I'll make it how you guys want it, but I'm starting to second guess the whole thing, so ya better get in and let's get this thing set up, before I change my mind.
