Have you set the settings to "draft" yet? I think you need to do that. Still a message on the site saying the commish needs to set the league to "draft".

I set it at 8 AM. Not sure why it said that, maybe it just needed to find time to draft. Teams are all there now.

Good luck everyone.

Usually I say I hate my team and fare well. Dare I say I think I have a decent squad?

Good luck all.

I think I fared pretty well, too. Strasburg, Lee, Darvish, Sale, & Wilson for starters. Longo, Hamilton, Jennings & Bourn. However Handley Ramirez and David Ortiztaking up some space.....

I'm happy with my team however it seems I fucking land Jeter every year. At this point in his career he'll spend more time on the DL than Jacoby Ellsbury.

I got Trout and Harper. I almost jizzed in my shorts when I saw that. Should be a fun season, like everybody else so far I'm happy with my team, which makes me wonder...

I think with 12 teams everyone has at least a decent team. Should be very fun season.

BTW, I need a SS and have an excess of 1b and a good 2nd catcher that I can move. Anyone interested please let me know.

We might be able to deal. I have several guys who can play multiple positions, so I have like 4 SS's. Zobrist, Prado, Lowrie, and one more who's escapes me at the moment.

I'm fairly happy with my team, I'm just worried about injuries piling up with Beltran, Carlos Santana, CarGo and others. Gotta look for some more pitching, too.

Good luck, everyone.

My team's solid - as most teams in a 12 team league should be.
Decent power which will be great power if Upton keeps it up.

However, unlike fantasy football I tend to find that the times I have good seasons in baseball are down to lucky/smart midseason pick-ups and 20 round draft picks having a steroid year.

I'm happy with my team although I learnt a valueable lesson this year. Quit banking so high on prospects. I didn't jump on Fernandez immeadiately when he became availible, instead I chose to bank on scouting reports/solid ST/coaching reports from coaches that's prospect success rate ( Seattle ) is pretty dismal. Doh.

If the other projections I used become true, then I'll be pretty happy, although some of the teams in the league scare the shit out of me. Crud and Crimson Hay are frightening.

I brought crimson into the league from outside of sludge. He gets pretty into it and was gutted to have a shitty team last year...

Oh, I'm playing. After Wolf yanking the rug out from under me I'm ready to dish out a whooping.

Seriously, does his pitching EVER falter? I don't think I've ever beaten him in the pitching categories.

Rule 1 of Fantasy Baseball. If you win six categories per week, in a 5x5 (or in our case 5x6) league, you will win the championship. I usually get my hands on 7 good starters, and 4 relievers, and can compete, or win, most weeks. This year I got a little fucked with Axford losing the closer job in Milwaukee, but Jason Grilli was a nice pickup, as were Masterton and Wandy Rodriguez. I lucked into Matt Harvey with the auto-draft. My starters are pulling their weight so far, and I have just enough offence to win a couple of those categories per week too.

Canuckle Balls looking good!

So lemme get this straight.

I have a really good week, playing .500+ ball and now I have to face Crimson Haybailers? fuck.

It's been a long hard road to get to the middle.

My team's settling in okay. A few early injuries, but only one bad week. My basic hope is always to get a full week of points above .500 and then just grind it out, so things are on track. There's two or three teams that definitely look stronger than mine though, especially with Upton cooling off, so we'll see how that goes.

Fuck. I went 3-6 against Crimson last week, I woulda went 5-6 but I mistakenly left Buchholz on the bench during his 9K start. At least I'm at +.500 ball now but I've got the 1st place team on the schedule today.

Always good when the first scoring performances of a matchup are my two guys in double headers going a combined 2/17 while his one starter pitches a 9k complete game shutout. :x
