EN World 2007 fantasy baseball league

Well, good luck to all! Another marathon season begins tonight with the paper tiger World Champ Cardinals defending their 82-80 record against the, um, choke-artist Mets from a year ago.

I'd hold off on that trade for Bonds too, guys, looks like he is going to jail for a very long time according to this post:

Bonds Indicted on Steroid Use, Perjury, Prison Likely

I'll believe it when I see it.

Although I'd probably offer to trade a bit less for him now.

So, I'm not sure what happened yesterday, but three of my guys played and JC told me at least one of them (my pitcher) did really well. I still don't quite have the stats down, so I don't know what "good" and "bad" numbers are (not to mention, what the actual stats mean!).

It's funny--I was going through my roster last night, setting it for the next couple of days, when I figured that I could just set them based on last season's rankings for the entire year, and then just check it every day to make sure no one got hurt and needed to be replaced. So, I was doing that happily (I had gotten in a couple of weeks) when JC came by and informed me that it doesn't work that way. I was so disappointed because I thought I had it all figured out. This is much more complicated than fantasy football. Oh well. Maybe by the time the playoffs (there are playoffs in baseball, right?) come, I'll have figured out something.

Hey, it's just like football, except there are games every day...

Seonaid: You don't need to change things every day, but you might do a little better if you do.

BTW, everybody check their teams. Many of you are playing DL'ed players. I also sent out a few trade proposals.

 

[Seonaid]

I'm not sure who offered me that trade (I'm too lazy to go look), but thanks for the tip on the DL.

Edit: Based on the post right before mine I assume it's krunchy. I must have missed a bunch of posts, because I don't remember reading the last couple.

Should I be bothered by the fact that like four or five of my positions aren't playing today? I'm really tempted to run out and get some FAs to fill those spots.

 

[Rookseye]

Don't worry about the multiple unfilled roster spots on certain days Seonaid, generally there are a couple of days every week where a cluster of teams will have off days; usually these fall on Monday, Tuesdays, or Thursdays...

Resist the temptation in other words, lol

 

[Seonaid]

Thanks. I won't worry about it then!

How does it work if games get postponed? I switched around my guys so that my benched players who aren't postponed are playing, but the guys on my bench aren't as good as the guys who are postponed. Will the games that get postponed just have their stats applied to the day they are played?

 

[Agamon]

Only if you have them in the lineup the day the postponed game is played. And you shouldn't have to guess at that or do the research, Yahoo will show them as playing the game that day, like normal.
