The worst division in the league so far, the Gehrig Division has two games this week: Romanian Yankees @ Larrupin' Lou's Babe's Blasts @ Miko's Marauders where they play each other, so we know at least there will be a division tie with two (possibly three, if the Force beat the Jalapenos) teams at (3-4). What a pathetic group of teams we are so far...

Russell Martin, the Lous' backup catcher, nets the Larrupers Ryan Sweeney, currently languishing on the Swingers' bench. Be seeing you, Saxmania

Greetings, Sports Fans. The Mantle Division is shaping up to be the power group for this NYYFFBL season. Not only does one of the league's remaining unbeaten teams reside there (The Holdouts of Mr. Boras), but every team there is over .500. Impressive. (Kudos also to the Obstinate Produce- the other squad still with a goose egg in the loss column) Meanwhile, we may have to change the name of a certain other division to the Alvaro Espinoza Division or perhaps the Hensley Meulens Division,...

Just as a reminder, the upcoming MLB draft will be upon us soon. I want to remind everyone that any player drafted is NOT eligible to be picked up this year. If you do your player will be dropped. Please make sure you do your research if you decide to do some work on your minor league bench. Thanks.

So it's been decided by a 65% vote to up the keepers to 6 for next year. We need to decide which route to go. Our options are as follows: 1) We just get an extra keeper to use as we wish just like we have now. 2) The 6th keeper would be restricted to a minor league call-up that would have had to have been kept on your minor league roster at the end of the previous season. (never promoted). If you chose to stash him the entire year even though he exceeded the minor league eligibility...

We have interest in increasing the DL. What say you? I'm throwing in 5 and 6 spots just to see. If enough people vote 6 we'll have a secondary poll and vote for 5 or 6. Sorry, just trying to cover all bases. I think 5 is good enough personally. I know we have a really small bench and having 5 injured players on your team can and does happen, often. At least to me. But I also don't want to encourage injured player hoarding. We will see.

Looks like we have a lot of interest in this, so let's get it going. The idea is to extend our mL roster, but also in turn there is an argument to increase the number of keepers. So your options are (which were neatly listed in the other thread): 5 keepers, 5 mL players (no change) 5 keepers, 6 mL players (add a mL player) 6 keepers, 6 mL players (add a mL player and a keeper) 6 keepers, 6 mL players, at least one keeper a mL draftee On the last choice, it would be a 6th keeper who...

I couldn't find a thread to put this in, so forgive me for creating a new one. Can someone explain to me what the hell counts as a hold? For example. I have J. Benoit, who pitched a scoreless 8th inning today with a 3-run lead. Is that a hold? Why? If not, why not?

To avoid problems in the future, please make sure that when you post to have someone put on the DL you have already adjusted your roster. Put the injured player on your bench and put the replacement player in your active lineup. You don't need to wait. If a player is injured the move will be made so you can go ahead and do it. This week we had made a DL move and someone's roster became illegal because they didn't check back in time to set a legal lineup. It was only an hour past the...

The Jalapenos and Holdouts are the league's two remaining unbeaten clubs. Meanwhile, the Port City side continues to search for win no. 1. <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%" class="data borderTop"><TBODY><TR class=subtitle><TD colSpan=2>Ruth</TD></TR><TR id=25 class=row1 vAlign=top align=right><TD align=left>Powerplant</TD><TD align=center>3-1-0</TD></TR><TR id=11 class=bgFan vAlign=top align=right><TD align=left> ROUS</TD><TD align=center>2-2-0</TD></TR><TR id=19 class=row1 vAlign=top...

I am reaching out to those that are not participating in the polls and discussion on rule changes. We have a very long list of people who want in this league. It's been running for quite a while and one of the best attributes of the league is that we have 20 people who are active the entire season and are very passionate about fantasy baseball. This has been slipping with the recent polls. We need everyone to participate. Your vote matters and is taken very seriously. Everyone here is...

The are two teams without a win this season: Port City Yankees and Romanian Yankees. They play each other this week, so one will get their first win, the other will start (0-4)

22 HR???? Try 10 HR -- 22 RBI. Sheesh.

It's Patriot's Day...you know what that means...rosters lock at 11am.

Week 1 schedule is set. Don't pay attention to the rest of the weeks until I say it's done. I'm going to get what I can done today and it should be done by tomorrow but just so everyone knows your week one opponent is correct.

Well with a month left I figured why not start this. I don't want to miss the boat completely if I can help it. Who is looking for keepers? What are you looking for? I have some good pitching for people looking to build a future rotation both active and in the minors. Contact me if you'd like, I'm looking to make a deal to keep me in the running here with the playoffs within reach.
