6th Annnual NYYFans 20 team Yahoo H2H

[The FUTURE]

Since I ended last season as the league manager, I guess it's on me to get this thing started up again. Last year was another competitive year filled with active owners and lots of excitement. For the 2nd year in the last 3, the Carolina Force (aka me ) was able to take home the championship. Despite a great season last year, I have seen a couple owners say (in other threads) they will not be able to return this season. I will be able to return, but would like to pass off the league manager duties to somebody else. (Somebody volunteer please )


So the first order of business,

If you were an owner last season; please let me know if you are returning. (if it's not obvious; lemme know which team is yours.)

It was fun but I need to cut back on my FBB this year. Just too busy and this is the league I had to cut. Good luck to all returning managers.

Your insight will be missed....can you reconsider?

[hardrain]

I am in: Hardrain's Wobblies

[Eldee5]

Count me in again: Joltin' Joes

[The Yankee Kahuna]

I'll be back: The Yankee Kahuna

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

I'd like to join the waitlist. No team name as of yet

[berriYankee]

Please put me on the waitlist if an opening occurs.

Thanks.

[Hitman23]

Hey man sory I can't do it this year I'm tapped. Between running the NYYFans CBS league and my own, I just won't be a good owner. Not that I was last year anyway. lol

My team was Professor Chaos.

[SoCal Pinstriper]

The Streakers are back.

Please move the draft to a time when I cannot make it. Sad to say, but with very few tweeks, Yahoo autodrafted a better team than I would have chosen in 2011. Machines rule!

yeah I just randomly chose a time, we will discuss a draft time once we get close to being filled.

[hardrain]

I am considering changing my team name to JimLeyland'sVomit, but I want to run it by the commish first.

Oh go ahead, feel free to change your team names as you wish, I'm just trying to stay on top of whos joined already because I will eventually start PM'ing former owners and actively searching to fill up the league (if necessary.)


Anybody heard from the former commish of this league, I was supposed to be a one year sub-in ?

[89FoxBody]

730 draft would be much better. I won't be able to make it at 630 since I work at 7.

[In Mo I Trust]

I'll be back, hopefully my first two picks work out better than Crawford/Youkilis did last year.

I just picked a random time when re-upping the league. We will discuss a draft date and time when everyone is signed up.

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

are these the stats we'll be stickin with or is there possibility of change?

I am open to change, what do you have in mind ?

[Lumen]

I wasn't in last year, but I'd like to get in for 2012. Please put me on the wait list.

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

I am open to change, what do you have in mind ?

Im confused... so you just picked these stats? Or are they the same stats from last year?


If it was up to me, I'd wanna toss out: AVG (for OBP perhaps) and HLDs


Not that you asked, if I was making a league from scratch, I'd probably do:
OBP, ISO, Runs, HR, SB (- Caught stealing), and maybe RBI or hits
ERA, WHIP, K/9 or Ks, W, SVs (- blown saves)

[Yankee Tripper]

FYI - While I won't be back this year those 6 cats were the same ones the league has run with for at least the past 3 years.

[Eldee5]

If you're taking a count, I like the stats we use in this league and wouldn't vote for a change. I like having holds as a category as it allows for the drafting of set-up men.

[In Mo I Trust]

I like the current categories, but I would switch AVG to OBP.
