Fade's Fantasy Baseball 2011 Draft Thread

Just messin with ya, Anderson Cooper style.

 

I have to admit, I have been very impressed with Smeg the last couple of years. Not only because he is winning big, but he's picking up players in all of the leagues that I never would have thought Smeg would even know to pick up. I've been really surprised.

 

Smeg's team hit the RP limit last night. Madsen registered his points first, so I'm taking Axford out of the lineup. Any further points accumulated by Madsen during the weekend will be deducted at the end.

 

No probs Fade

Nice work lads with all this reverse jinx praise, damn yall

 

who would have thought Ian Kennedy (surely a candidate for best waiver pick-up) versus Lincecum would decide PSJs season.... sorry dude

 

With Rook's win and PSJ's loss, final playoff standings have been decided. Now we get to play a completely meaningless week 45 to close out our regular season!


Pitching games used through week 44
Max SP: 180, Max RP: 140

 

btw Fade, can you remind me about how the playoffs work?

 

Yeah, I beat you, end your great season, you think about jumping off the nearest bridge, however decide to pick up the pieces and try again next season......

 

First round of playoffs is a single week (two game periods added together). You can update your lineup as normal for each period. You get 9 SP games to use however you want throughout the week. There are no RP limits.

Second round of playoffs is two weeks (four game periods added together). You can update your lineup as normal for each period. You get 18 SP games to use however you want throughout the two weeks. There are no RP limits.

 

just looked at my pitching schedule, you may well get your wish, not even sure i will get 9 starts in......arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

still 7 pitchers in line-up in total right?

 

Dude, this first round should be easy for you...my team can't get above 500.....

 

Yep... still 7 pitchers total max. You can break up the SP starts however you want throughout each period.

I.e.

Fri-Sun: 5 SP, 2 RP
Mon-Thur: 4 SP, 3 RP
or
Fri-Sun: 4 SP, 3 RP
Mon-Thur: 5 SP, 2 RP
or
Fri-Sun: 3 SP, 4 RP
Mon-Thur: 6 SP, 1 RP

etc...

 

Thanks Fade, it should certainly be any interesting breakdown

 

I beg to differ, you are very much in this, I'm without 4 hitters who would be starting, and will only get 8 SP starts at best, and you'll definitely have a big lead after the weekend, and I'm not convinced I'll catch you

 

Round 1 playoff update:

Aliens: 145 (5/9 SP games used)
Expos: 142 (5/9 SP games used)

Smeg: 196 (3/9 SP games used)
Rook: 142 (5/9 SP games used)

 

Round 1 playoff results:

Aliens: 145 + 182 = 327
Expos: 142 + 214 = 356

Smeg: 196 + 248 = 444
Rook: 142 + 161 = 303

The championship match will be Smeg vs. Expos, and will be 2 weeks long (4 game periods). Each team gets 18 SP games to use throughout the 2 weeks.

 

Honestly, I doubt I will be able to take down the Smeg Juggernaut, but maybe I'll get lucky.

 

2 weeks is a long time fade, and the way my batters keep getting injured this will be ridiculously tight
