oaky... ALSO, is this an exclusive live draft? Or online draft?  I see it listed as live.  I'm an accountant in Michigan City, Indiana.  So real, live drafts can be tough (depending on the day) for me.

Online live draft.  Not literally in person.

    I'd be interested if there was a decent buy-in. If it's a free league I'd be out.

    I haven't done fantasy baseball in probably 5 or 6 years because it's such a chore.  I would be down though.

  • Agreed. I could potentially be interested depending on $ and structure. Already play in several though and married to yahoo so wouldn’t do any other formats.

Alright boys, here is where I landed on league structure:

Buy-in: $350 

Scoring: H2H

# of teams: 12, but can reduce to 10 if need be

Payouts (if 12 team): 1st Place Regular Season: $1000; 2nd Place Regular Season:$600, 3rd Place Regular Season: $350, 1st place Playoffs: $1,500, 2nd Place Playoffs: $750

Payouts (if 10 team): 1st Place Regular Season: $1,000; 2nd Place Regular Season: $600, 1st Place Playoffs: $1,300, 2nd Place Playoffs: $600

Keepers: Each team can (but does not have to) keep 4 players.  Keepers are due by the end of the regular season.  The player will be kept for the next season in the round in which they were drafted in the previous season (ie: you draft Eloy in round 10, you can keep him in round 10 for the next season).  If the player was undrafted, it defaults to round 20.  If your 20th pick is taken by another keeper, it slides up to 19th, etc.   

Decided against draft pick trades and that gets really sticky when someone bails on the league in future years after having traded a bunch of picks.  Basically kills leagues.

@Look at Ray Ray Run, @Chicago White Sox, @BrianAnderson and @cjgalloway how does this look?  You guys in?  IF so DM your emails and I will send you invites.  

Any other thoughts?

Anyone else interested??  

I am guessing the implication is you cannot keep someone more than 1 year?

No max IP or games played at each position? Does that default to 162 games on Yahoo each position?

Sorry guys, really appreciate the set up but 350 prices me out currently and im pretty set now with my 8 leagues. Cheers and good luck

I could probably get 1 or 2 more if we need. Keep me posted @ChiSox59

We need all we can get. The league has 7 currently.  Would really like to get to 12.  I can probably scrape up another 1 or 2 from people I play with in other leagues, but would be great to get a few more Soxtalk guys in.

I think a couple of you guys may have joined via link that I haven't communicated with directly.  But I have 8/12 spots paid and filled.  League has 14 managers currently, first 12 to pay will play, so a couple people are going to be left out.  If you signed up via link, check the league message board for more details or shoot me a PM if you want more info.  I really want to get this wrapped up early this week, so if you want your spot guaranteed best to get you buyin in ASAP.
