February 9, 201115 yr As the title of the thread says, I would like to throw my hat in the ring and offer my services to run Soxtalk's first 20-team league. For the past 6 years now, I've been running two other 20-team leagues and they're very successful and very competitive each year. Two Soxtalk members are regular members of my leagues and they can vouch for how I run a tight ship. This year I'm changing the scoring categories in all my leagues from the typical 5x5 to 6x6, which will incorporate runs, home runs, rbi's, stolen bases, average, obp, wins, k's, saves, holds, era, and whip. I'll be going ahead and creating the official Soxtalk 20-team league and posting the information in the post below. I'll pm invites to active soxtalk members, and if you're interested please let me know and i'll send you an invite. Edited February 9, 201115 yr by SouthsideDon48

February 10, 201115 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) 27 roster spots in a 20-team league? That's 540 players. Too much! There is 750 active roster spots in the major leagues. So this league just requires you to do some major research I'd guess.
February 10, 201115 yr Author QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) 27 roster spots in a 20-team league? That's 540 players. Too much! Actually, it's really 25 roster spots with 2 DL spots for players that get injured during the season. That way you can have a playable 25-man roster at all times similar to the real-life mlb, and you can save your injured players by DL'ing them instead of dropping them. 20-team leagues are deeper, when you reach the 20th-25th rounds of the draft, it helps to know some lesser-known players to round out your bench. In this league, the Juan Uribes of the world has value.
February 10, 201115 yr Author So far we have 4 managers: Steve9347 that funky motion BigEdWalsh and me. C'mon people, lets join!
February 12, 201115 yr Author QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) Sorry, I have no interest in playing with 6 relievers. Actually, you don't have to use 6 relievers. You have a lot of flexibility in how you decide to run your team. Just because there's 6 relief pitcher spots doesn't mean they have to be filled. I've been running 20-team leagues for the past 6 years now with the exact same position settings and I never had more than 2 or 3 relief pitchers. I always had 3 or 4 of my relief pitcher spots vacant and ended up putting extra starting pitchers and batters on the banch for more depth. I know I just gave away way too much free strategy there, but the point I'm trying to make is that you don't have to fill the relief pitcher spots if you don't want to.
February 13, 201115 yr Ha well that sounds great, but I don't think I want to dedicate the time to that.
February 13, 201115 yr Author Here's an update on who joined the league so far: 1. MHizzle 2. Knightni 3. TitoMB 4. That funky motion 5. Faztradamus6. 7. BigEdWalsh 8. me We will get 20, I guarantee it.
February 14, 201115 yr Deep league... This sounds like a challenge I'd like to accept. Count me in. PM me the info. Edited February 14, 201115 yr by ChrisLikesBaseball
February 17, 201115 yr Author Update: We now have 14 teams so far. We only need 6 more, we're almost there.
February 18, 201115 yr Author QUOTE (South Paw @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) I'm in if there's still room I sent you a PM with the information.
February 19, 201115 yr I'm in, Don. I'm counting on you when you say the draft shouldn't take anymore than 3 hours. Lol. It's cool if it does, though.

It's cool if it does, though. Once again, thanks for joining, Jordan. I hope everyone shows up for the draft, because when everyone does it's much more quicker.
February 20, 201115 yr Author Update: We currently have 16 teams, we still have 4 available slots if anyone is interested.
February 22, 201115 yr QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Update: We currently have 19 teams. We need just 1 more. Hey, Don. I think I have a guy that's interested in joining. Should I give him the info? I ask because I'm not sure if you're holding out for somebody, it being your league and all. But I'll be sure to let him know not to join if he's not going to be active all year.

Hey Jordan, Thanks for referring your friend. We already got 20 teams though, the 20th guy Reddy joined last night. So we're all good. We finally got 20. Once again, thanks for the referral.

March 3, 201115 yr Hey, Don. Forgive me if you've answered this before. I'm hungover as s*** and I don't remember. Is this going to he a standard head2head snake draft?
March 3, 201115 yr Will we know draft order anytime before the draft? I'd like to do a mock or two in regard to where I'm drafting if possible.
March 4, 201115 yr I'll be there at the beginning tomorrow, but may autodraft for the second hour. I have a feeling that it could run for more than 3 hours.
