Week Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We're a bit early, but wanted to float out a thread to gauge any interest. WJ ran one league last year - auction, roto, ending at the end of July. Results and Thread: Final Standings 1) Whiskeyjack - 104.5 2) Weekapaug - 94.5 3) Bronn - 81 4) Grozeng - 66.5 5) Fuentez - 61.5 6) Jaime - 58 7) ArchmaesterPhilip - 57.5 8) Mexal - 52 9) Pyroclastic Flow - 46 10) Ross - 38.5 http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/124011-westeros-fantasy-baseball/&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I will be in. I am okay with the early end or the full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Firstly, I'll assume everyone is back in (tagging you all...I think that'll help) - although Ross was not active at all...let me know if you are back in and if you have a preference for Full or Half season. Personally, I liked the half-season until the end where A) I didn't have enough time to catch up to WJ and .B) I did miss following prospects coming up in the second-half and September. I am tempted to say I'd prefer a full season, however the time crunch in the dog days and early fall are tough. Then determine if there are any open spots or if we need to have an additional league. 1) @Whiskeyjack - 2) Weekapaug - Full/Half3) Bronn - Full/Half4) @grozeng -5) @fuentez1138 - 6) @Jaime L - 7) @Arch-MaesterPhilip - 8) @Mexal - 9) @PyroclasticFlow - 10) @Ross Reminder of the setup from last year (yahoo): League details: Auction draft. $300 budget for each team. Need to spend at least $1 on each roster spot. Roster positions are C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 5 OF, 2 UT, 7 SP, 3 RP, 6 Bench. Scoring is roto. R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS for hitters. QS, SO, SV, ERA, WHIP, K/BB for pitchers. Daily changes. And we end our season after 4 months, with July 31st as the final day of the year.

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm game for half or full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Probably in for a shortened season, if people want to do that again. Doubt I'd play a full season league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Fantasy baseball is 98% about misery and the brutal daily grind so I'm in favor of the full season. The half season just feels weird and unnatural to me. The MLB season continues but my fantasy team does not. Losing out on Arenado's awesome second half two years ago killed me. And I'm sure I feel the same way about guys on my team last year if I could remember a single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroclasticFlow Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm in, for the long haul or the short, whichever it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 1) WhiskeyJack - Half2) Weekapaug - Full/Half3) Bronn - Full/Half4) @grozeng -5) Fuentez - Half/Full6) JaimeL - Prefer Full 7) Arch-MaesterPhilip - Full/Half8) Mexal - Half9) PyroclasticFlow - Full/Half10) JJ - Full Still waiting on Groz, Fuentez, Mex, and Ross (or a new team if anyone is interested who has played some competitive FBB before). I would like to lean towards a full season ... WJ, you might just have to deal. Edit: Thinking about Mexal's comment - I'm kinda leaning back towards half only as well.

Mexal Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Half. I get annoyed at the end of the season where I can't catch up but I've done the grind so many times that I know how I feel getting into August/September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That push also coincides with Fall/August Vacation/School/Football/etc. which is not a great time for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Lannister Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm back in this year if a spot opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Still waiting on @grozeng (would plan for him to be in) - I would say we generally are leaning towards a half season (just past - ending July 31). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grozeng Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am in for whatever we do. Promise I will make more than 3 moves this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ok, probably a more appropriate time post-SB. Reminder of the setup from last year (yahoo): League details: Auction draft. $300 budget for each team. Need to spend at least $1 on each roster spot. Roster positions are C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 5 OF, 2 UT, 7 SP, 3 RP, 6 Bench. Scoring is roto. R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS for hitters. QS, SO, SV, ERA, WHIP, K/BB for pitchers. Daily changes. And we end our season after 4 months, with July 31st as the final day of the year. Any thoughts on changes? I wasn't sure that I was going to like QS, but I also don't really like wins - need a stat there and I kind of have issues with both. I also support converting at least one of the SP spots to regular P or change them all to P (though I do like the organizational aesthetic of SP and RP slots separated). Thoughts?

Week Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Also, any thoughts on going back to holds? Maybe reduce the IP (fewer starters) and add holds? The stat can be pretty dumb (e.g. LOOGY giving up a hit to the sole batter they face and then getting a hold) but I do like all aspects of the game brought in.

Bronn Stone Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Not hip to holds. It is a stat that rewards quantity over quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling pretty mixed about it the one time we tried it (or maybe I tried it in another league..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
