Ok guys since I didn't seem to be able to find a TWW league setup yet I went ahead and created one. It's pretty much the default ESPN setup as far as scoring and what not goes. Went ahead and opened it up for 20 teams. Draft is scheduled for Sunday, March 27th at noon for the time being. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Pass: twwbaseball

First come first serve obviously but please only join if you plan to be fairly active. Everyone hates that guy who joins a league and then checks his team once or twice all season and never responds to trades.

3/20/2011 6:17:14 PM

I'm in. I was thinking of setting one up but I'm glad you went ahead and did it.

3/20/2011 6:21:32 PM

Someone has to finish last may as well be me haha

3/20/2011 6:24:27 PM

If something comes of this, I'll join. Although I demand to be conductor of the Phillies-100win train.

3/20/2011 6:50:48 PM

As long as I can lead the "this is the Cubs year" train at least until opening day haha

3/20/2011 9:38:20 PM

Appears I cant downsize the league from 20 teams so we need to fill this up or on thursday or so I will have to open it up to the public to try and fill the rest. Either that or create another league with however many players we have by then. So get to joining!

3/21/2011 10:09:16 AM

5 down 15 to go!

3/21/2011 2:32:23 PM

bttt

3/22/2011 9:01:30 AM

I would play if the draft time can be moved to a night during the week...or later in the night Sunday.

3/22/2011 9:39:29 AM

I was trying my best to avoid NCAA tourney time while still getting it in before opening day. I would assume I can move the draft date and time, but Ill look into that it doesnt appear to let me change anything else after creation .

3/22/2011 9:42:43 AM

I would assume games will be around 3 and 6 on Sunday, or maybe even 2:30ish and 5ish. If I remember yahoo's format correctly, it will let you draft no matter how many teams are in the league, as long as it is an even number.

3/22/2011 10:45:28 AM

ESPN wont let you draft until the league is full.. my guess is Ill have to see how many we have on like friday and remake the league for that number of teams. Any input on when the draft should be and any scoring changes are welcome especially since it appears Ill have to create another league anyways pending a stampede in the next few days to fill all 20 slots.

3/22/2011 10:53:07 AM

bttt

3/23/2011 7:51:31 PM

Ok I am gonna remake the league this evening down to 10 teams so if people would like any changes to scoring or draft time or whatnot please post in here today. We have 7 teams so far so we will need 3 more to fill the league. I'll repost the link tonight so those who are in already please make sure to join the new one instead.

3/24/2011 7:43:50 AM

After 6 Sunday night, or any night this week work for me....Sunday afternoon would have worked, but I am going to without internet access till around 6.

Ok I redid it right this time with League Manager so I can change things as needed. So Scratch the above link now it has to be done by invite so if you want in please send me a PM with your email address and first and last name and Ill get the invites sent out. Right now its set to 10 teams and I moved the draft to 7 pm on Sunday night which I hope will be after the basketball games are over if not we can move it to like monday night at the same time.

Sorry about all this mess first time attempting to run a league haha thanks for your patience.

Also for those in the other league you can go ahead and leave it as not to get confused.

I think I shall join this.

3/24/2011 6:04:26 PM

bttt still need a few more teams

3/25/2011 7:37:09 AM

in

3/25/2011 8:21:17 AM

Up to 10 now at least but can make room for a few more if anyone else is interested just pm me your first and last name and email for an invite.

3/25/2011 8:32:04 PM

Draft time is set for 7 pm on Monday. This way it doesnt conflict with basketball tomorrow plus thats the only input Ive gotten on when would be the best time. Obviously you dont have to be there as you can auto draft, but otherwise that will be the time.

3/26/2011 1:48:10 PM

if you guys want another manager I'm game

3/27/2011 12:52:11 PM

ok just noticed its monday

thanks...that helps.

3/27/2011 5:46:14 PM

I won't be at a computer in time for the draft :-(

We'll see how well my set rankings do on autopilot.

3/27/2011 5:57:19 PM

Dont worry I'll manage to pick someone who I didn't realize was injured and out for the first few months haha

3/27/2011 5:59:59 PM

Draft in 15 min!

3/28/2011 6:43:55 PM

I have tons of root beer, just took a shit, and have excel on one monitor and the league on another. Let's do this.

3/28/2011 6:45:53 PM

I'll take Barry Bonds- he is gonna have a solid year this year

3/28/2011 6:48:07 PM

Ill take Sammy Sosa I think this is his comeback season for sure!

3/28/2011 6:50:54 PM

You're all idiots, Mike Schmidt is worth more than you guys think.

3/28/2011 8:43:05 PM

I got through two rounds of the draft... and my internet connection went wonky. Been having issues over the weekend, but damn bad timing. Didn't set up autodraft. Team is... alright I guess.. very questionable pitching though

3/29/2011 8:42:38 AM

Pretty sure the average age of my outfield is 63 haha....went with sort of a best available approach, and I am lacking pitching wise, and definitely in the outfield and 2b/ss and 1b/3b positions.

3/29/2011 8:54:04 AM

My team sucks major balls.

3/30/2011 1:53:21 PM

And so it begins...

3/31/2011 7:43:29 AM

Guess I'll have to be faster got up this morning and went to look into a few guys and everyone had snatched them up already haha

4/1/2011 9:52:21 AM

Tried to get Cardwell to trade for Paul Konerko, but alas no deal. So I grabbed Brandon Belt, who is a decent prospect to have. When it comes to my Batting stats, I am kind of hedging my bets on my OFs haha.

4/1/2011 9:57:13 AM

Yeah Belt is one of the guys I was going to look into this morning haha

4/1/2011 10:00:43 AM

Yeah but I am fucking thiiiiiiiiiiiiin at 1B. Omar Infante being qualified for 2b/3b/OF is pretty sweet though.

4/1/2011 10:11:25 AM

Last place! High five! haha

4/2/2011 6:13:43 PM

fucking Jake Westbrook

4/2/2011 6:17:14 PM

I forgot how brutal fantasy baseball is on emotions. I also intend to have the most transactions in the entire league, by far.

4/2/2011 6:38:29 PM

My starting pitching is atrocious. Hamels is getting his shit pushed in and he is my top pitcher at this point. I still have yet to record my first W.

4/5/2011 7:57:59 PM

I am need of some advice for a trade proposal. Here is my current roster:

C Carlos Santana, Cle C
1B Joey Votto, Cin 1B
2B Dustin Pedroia, Bos 2B
3B David Wright, NYM 3B
SS Erick Aybar, LAA SS
2B/SS Stephen Drew, Ari SS
1B/3B Mike Napoli, Tex C, 1B
OF Justin Upton, Ari OF
OF Ichiro Suzuki, Sea OF
OF Delmon Young, Min OF
OF Colby Rasmus, StL OF
OF Andres Torres, SF OF
UTIL Adam LaRoche, Was 1B

Bench Aubrey Huff, SF 1B, OF
Bench Yunel Escobar, Tor SS

P Ubaldo Jimenez, Col SP
P Jered Weaver, LAA SP
P Francisco Rodriguez, NYM RP
P Shaun Marcum, Mil SP
P Hiroki Kuroda, LAD SP
P Colby Lewis, Tex SP
P Madison Bumgarner, SF SP
P Wade Davis, TB SP
P R.A. Dickey, NYM SP
Bench Travis Wood, Cin SP
DL Johnny Cueto*, Cin SP

Trade proposed to me:
Send Joey Votto, Cin 1B
Receive Jacoby Ellsbury, Bos OF
Receive Francisco Liriano, Min SP

I feel like I am pretty solid at IF espcially at 1B and I need some help at pitching. This is a Rotisserie league. What do you think?

4/6/2011 1:00:14 AM

Zobrist and Crawford being duds so far has dropped me to 5th place. Hopefully they pull out of these damn slumps soon enough.

4/10/2011 11:13:39 PM

My whole team being duds has moved me into 2nd to last place.

4/10/2011 11:16:47 PM

Team Rowe is filthy, be did really well in the draft. Carpenter, Lincecum, Kemp, Ichiro, Juan Pierre, etc. Also, who are the Killa Ohs and why did they drop Swisher for Brandon Lyon?

4/11/2011 10:38:29 AM

Quote :

I would not do this trade. You are giving up a top-10 guy for an injury prone pitcher and Ellsbury who missed basically all of 2010 and may or may not be the player he was from 07-09.



[Edited on April 11, 2011 at 10:46 AM. Reason : df]

4/11/2011 10:44:34 AM

Yeah ellsbury has been rough so far for me this year. Somehow I jumped from 12th to third this weekend guess it helps my pitchin finally stopped sucking balls

4/11/2011 11:27:16 AM

So begins the injury train with furcal and hardy both likely on the DL for 4-6 weeks. Already have Brandon Morrow sucking up my DL spot so had to replace em for now. Furcal has said he may even contimplate retirement.
