    Let's get this started ladies.

    12 hours per pick or you're skipped!

    Baseball Fantasy League Homepage

    As Fade mentioned in the other thread, we play a split week head-to-head format. That means two games every week. The game periods are Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday. Deadline to submit lineups is before the first game each Monday and Friday. The schedule will be randomly generated after the draft. The one showing up now is not valid.

    - starting lineups consist of 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, C, Utility Inf, 4 OFs, and any combination of 7 pitchers (SP or RP)

    - there is a 2 spot IR. You can only place a player on IR if he is legitimately hurt.

    - the scoring system is listed on the "Rules" page of the site.

    - there is no waiting period to claim free agents. Waiver claims are handled by the site. I believe highest priority is given to the team with the worst record.

    - game limits for pitchers are 142 SP and 122 RP. You can start any combination of 7 pitchers each game. However, if you leave the same 5 SP and 2 RP in your lineup all the time, you will be on pace to run out of SP and RP games roughly at the end of the season. So, judge yourself accordingly. There are no game limits for hitters.

    - There is a four week playoff format at the end of the season. 6 teams make the playoffs; the winner of each division get first round byes. The remaining matchups are made according to seeding based on record. Week 1 = First Round. Week 2 = Second Round (Semis). Weeks 3 & 4 = World Series.

    Alex Rodriguez - 3B

    I think he has a lot to prove this year and will be super motivated. Plus, he is less of an injury risk than the other person I considered.

    Pimp is up!

    Fade,

    Not a good start when the guy with the first pick feels he has to justify his selection :p .

    We have a trade.

    My first rounder(#2) and my third rounder (#26) go to Rocketball for his first rounder(#9) and second rounder(#16).

    Rocketball is on the clock. BTW, I'll update the draft board this evening, unless someone else would like to do it. :)

    Interesting. Just make your pick here in this thread, Rocketball. I will enter it on the site and then modify the rosters as needed.

    The guy who started smack (and has taken some grief for it), has to make a pick and am sure I will hear about it....

    I'll take: Albert Pujols - 1B (Stl)


    Let the roasting begin..........:D


    For the record I can't add the player on the website - i think it is because I am picking out of turn, need HELP!!! (stupid rookies!:D )

    If anyone (chrisjent who is online) wants to send a pick, I'll be online for awhile.

    Sent through the board.

    Can't argue with that pick. He's the guy I was going to take if we didn't make the deal.

    I wish I could have gotten in on that trade activity as well. I feel I'm picking him a bit early, but....

    I have a request. My work added a new proxy server about 3 weeks ago and it occasionally locks me out of the bbs. If someone sees it is my pick on a weekday between 8 and 4, please email me at chkemp at hjisd dot net.
