Fanhome Rebirth Fantasy Baseball Jays board

Ultimate · 12-14-2006, 12:01 AM

I realize that its a little bit early yet, but I wanted to put some feelers out there for next season. The last few years there have been fanhome leagues with the Jays board, but activity has been a problem even from the commissioners. Since fanhome has been reborn and we seem to be beginning to create a nucleus of loyal posters to this board I thought we should think about forming a fantasy baseball league together for 2007.

Who would be interested in playing in the league? And who would be interested in organizing or commissioning the league? I have always been the fan of the 3 person commissioner committee, what do you guys think about that idea?

Not to brag or anything, but I have won the fanhome league the last 2 seasons so I definetely want there to be another league out there so that I can try and make it 3

How does it work? I would be very interested in making sure you don't 3-peat!

Well there are many variations of fantasy baseball. Basically you get 10-14 people together and we have a draft where we all choose various MLB players(with no 2 teams having the same player). Your players actual MLB statistics impact your teams success or failure in the standings.

I was champ of my league last year. Thank you Ryan Howard. I would be willing to beat you all as well.

I would want the player pool to be around 300 players. (15 teams 20 rounds)

keeper league?

gojays2007 · 12-14-2006, 11:41 AM

nope, not worth it with amount of turnover expected yearly.

Ultimate · 12-14-2006, 11:42 AM

I was thinking that maybe we should get a year or two in with the same group of guys, just to ensure everyone is active and then discuss making it a keeper league in the 2nd or 3rd year. But if everyone wants a keeper league I would be up for that.

When can we do the draft? Sooner the better LOL

gojays2007 · 12-14-2006, 02:27 PM

We drafted last night...you missed it. Your autodraft did net you many JP boys though...Hinske, shoenwuss, hillenbland, lighterfluid, crozier, hattig, kroch, JFG and Arnold for your closer.

wow thats hilarious!

TrueBlueJay, Drafts usually happen in February or March when the season is a little closer. I just wanted to gauge to see how much interest there is.

If you are that anxious though, I would be up for doing a mock draft in the near immediate future.

ofhdhdy · 12-14-2006, 07:33 PM

I would like to be a part of this.

I'd be happy to join, but due to work, an email league (when its your turn you pick, with time limits), I also prefer a keeper league, and turn around hasnt been a problem in a league I have been a part of for several years, the commish keeps a list of rosters (keepers) and a new owner takes over. Just like what would happen if a franchise moved aka Montreal.
