You draft a stable of batters and a stable of pitchers. Each stable is scored based on certain relevant stats and those scores are combined for your totals. You either play "games" where each week is a matchup between you and another person in the league (you can sub players in and out each day based on who is playing) or you just play through the season and rank at the end based on who has the most points. _________________ The end is nigh!

Fantasy baseball is by far the most difficult of all fantasy sports. First you have either a draft or an auction to pick your players. Most leagues do a draft. My advice is to TRUST someone elses rankings, or spend hours of your life compiling your own rankings. Then draft for power and speed. Worry about pitching later. Your gonna want to draft a 3B & SS early. Hell, OF isn't as deep as it usually is. Get some studs, then get consistency. Worry about the high risk / high reward guys later.
What website is your nephew using? I'll help you all year and we'll win this mo' fo'! _________________

I have no idea , can I pick the whole Pirate team, can I get Garret Jones, if someone else has him ?how many guys can you pick?
I don't think I am going to do this cause I really don't care that much about it, and I am going to act like I am partially interested and then beg off. |

Leagues are played differently. Which website are you using?
My custom league has:
Batting
Pos Batters R HR RBI SB AVG
C --empty-- - - - - -
1B --empty-- - - - - -
2B --empty-- - - - - -
3B --empty-- - - - - -
SS --empty-- - - - - -
OF --empty-- - - - - -
OF --empty-- - - - - -
OF --empty-- - - - - -
Util --empty-- - - - - -
Pitching
Pos Pitchers W SV K ERA WHIP
SP --empty-- - - - - -
SP --empty-- - - - - -
RP --empty-- - - - - -
RP --empty-- - - - - -
P --empty-- - - - - -
P --empty-- - - - - -
P --empty-- - - - - -
Plus 3 bench spots to use where ever you'd like. And we even have a DL spot in case there is an injury.
These 5 stats are used for batters: R HR RBI SB AVG
These 5 stats are used for pitching: W SV K ERA WHIP
You can draft all Pirates if you get to them first. I would draft McCutcheon near the 5th round, and take a late flier on Garret Jones. But the object is to win the league, not have all Pirates. _________________

Well.... do you? Its up to you. Like I said, I'd be happy to help.
Look, its a lot of work. You have to keep up daily (or at least every three days) on your pitching. You seem to have some free time, and have the ability to navigate the internet. So, I'd say go for it. It really helps keeping up with the constant influx of new players. _________________

Thanks dick, I will save your post and wait till I hear from them, he is trying to keep it a family thing and I somehow don't think he will have much luck there. |
