Great stuff, it will be a good mix of ppl with little to no previous experience and some who have participated before.

I will email everyone once the site has been updated by ESPN

I'm in

Ok, I've joined the league now. I just need some pointers for getting started.
Is it like fantasy.premierleague where the same player can be on multiple teams?
Can I pick my team now?
Is there a scheduled draft (I'm on holidays from March 1st until March 9th)?
In a nutshell, who am I? How do I win?

Thanks

Ouch , out until May

Just saw that this morning .... move him onto your DL spot & hit the waiver wire

Have Beltre as my bench player, so have a decent back up.
The app is telling me that I have no players eligible for the DL. Presume I can move him over the next day or two.

Excuse my ignorance, but if I put him on the DL, can I just sign a new player to fill his spot? What happens when he's back from injury, do I need to release someone to get Turner back on my team?

Pat the Patriot

It'll probably take a day or so for Dodgers to officially place him on the DL. Then the site should allow you to move him to the DL spot using the 'Manage DL' function. This should allow you to add another player through the waiver wire if you want. Once he's ready to come back in May .... or whenever, I reckon you will need to drop someone in order to free up a place & re-instate Turner from the DL. Having injured players is a pain, but at least the DL spot means you can hold onto him whilst he recovers + you get to pick up a replacement for the period he's recovering.

Pat the Patriot

Your other option might be to contact Team Stack about a trade for a 3B, as he has three of the best in Arenado, Machado & Donaldson #stacked ;-)

Pat the Patriot

A nice bit of mutually beneficial trading makes for a healthy league ... IMHO. To that end Team Kummer & The Nastys have agreed in principal to the following trade:
Team Kummer get:
Wilson Contreras - Chicago Cubs C
Charlie Morton - Houston Astros SP

The Nastsy get:
Welington Castillo - Chicago White Sox C
Yu Darvish - Chicago Cubs SP

Once the trade has been approved it should process on Friday.

I add another good arm & Team Kummer improves his Catcher spot while also getting a decent SP.

Now Samardzija is going to the DL as well.
Can I give up on Fantasy Baseball :P

Pat the Patriot

Injuries are a bitch!!! + Only having 1 DL spot is also a bitch

Hey, don't mean to hijack the thread (feel free to tell me to create my own) but I have a fantasy baseball league setup (8 teams currently in it) if anyone is interested in joining please Pm for link. Only drawback might be the draft is on tomorrow at 8:30pm Toronto time as a majority the current team owners are from there.

Half of my team is on the disabled list

So we are half way through the season .... How is everybody finding the league? I've done a lot of tinkering with my squad & I've enjoyed the head to head format of our league.

....it's not head to head format, it's rotisserie

I've struggled to keep on top of my team to be honest. Left starters on the bench too many times and now am way behind in Wins and Strikeouts.

It's a tough league!

Pat the Patriot

my mistake .... I messed that up totally ;-)

It is a tough league alright .... I reckon I'm gonna blow my innings limit way before the end of the season, which will allow people to catch up on wins etc ..... My bats have been excellent all season & hopefully they continue to be hot !!!

I'll play again, but I may have lost some interest during the season

Nah I can't invest time in this again this season, have fun!

I would take a place if there's one left over.

smackbunnybaby
