Over The Monster Fantasy Baseball?

Hello,
I have never played fantasy baseball, but this coming season I would like to try my hand at this. I would like to play alongside my friends here @ OTM. Can anyone fill me in on if there is a league here? I seem to remember mention of this in the past.
Is there a cost? Can anyone give me a little bit of information on how exactly fantasy baseball works. I will start studying right away, and be ready if you are willing to accept me into your league.
Thanks,
Sandy

There were two last year
There was a yahoo league and a CBS league officially sponsored by SBN. I came to the realization that I’m not particularly fond of CBS’s fantasy set up and I probably wouldn’t do it again. Yahoo is the way to go I think.

I've done ESPN and CBS
and liked both, although i’ve never tired yahoo. I’d be interested in joining a league if spots are open. I’m guessing someone more organized than me will create a league in the coming weeks and make a FanPost invitation.
Another issue for me might be accessibility and memory
Yahoo is my homepage, so I remember to check my leagues, I never use sportsline or SI or ESPN so I usually forget I’m in a league there until it’s over.

I agree.
I will only participate if we do an ESPN league. I will not work with the Yahoo set up

Yeah, man
Last year was my first fantasy league and it was a gas. I’m definitely in this year and was thinking about posting myself.

I just need information on how to play.

It is really not that difficult.
Basically the players you draft, pick off waivers, or trade for earn you points (depending on the format of the league) through how they perform in real life.
I think you would pick it up pretty quickly.
ill play again this year

I can't remember who set it up last year
David Harnden or BobZupcic. I think David. But I thought it was set up well. I say we start early this year so we get a good idea of who wants in and set the date on the draft.
I think we had 12 slots last year…I assume we can make that bigger if need be?

Yep
David Harnden set it up. I came up with the idea of an OTM Fantasy league and he set it all up on Yahoo. The League was superfun with the weekly writeup mostly done by Bloggy. I played a completly weird All in Pitcher strategy and drafted 10 SP in the first 12 rounds or so. ;) The strat worked out as my team made the most points in the regular season and i managed to reach the semifinals.
Anyway i’d be game for a league. I’d prefer ESPN over Yahoo, since Yahoo didnt manage to get the starts for the whole week in advance on a monday, that sucked.

If enough people are interested I think it would be fun to do both a roto and a head to head league.
I don't know what that means...

@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
What did we do last year?
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
We did head to head.
Roto is a bit different. You compete against the entire league at once in a number of statistical categories (such as ERA, OBP etc), and you earn a number of points dependent on your ranking within the league for each stat.
I think I'm doing something like that for hockey right now
I’m really not digging it much, personally. Would you be suggesting two separate leagues?
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
Yes. (On two separate leagues)
I find head to head to be more fun overall myself, especially since you can have playoffs which you can’t really do with roto.
With the number of saber-heads here at OTM I think there may also be enough interest in a roto league.
I've never played before.
Almost did two seasons ago, then realized how much work it would be. I might consider it this year, not sure yet.
I didn't find it too much work, I think you'll be fine.

@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
I liked doing the CBS one last year a lot
I’d really like to try the Yahoo! one, last year was the first time I played.
Please let me know guys if you're interested in an ESPN league.
I believe it is the easiest to work with and also great insight from their writers for newbies.

so how does scoring work? I'm so confused
!!!!! GONZO !!!!!
!!!!! CRAWFORD !!!!!
!!!!! LIVERPOOL !!!!!
We did it pretty straightforward
For batters, you get 1 point for a single, two points for a double, etc…a point for an RBI or a run, and -.5 for a SO. Basically, most outcomes have a score associated with them. For pitchers, giving up a run was minus points, a strikeout was a point, stuff like that.
I'm going to start preparing for who I want on my roster.
!!!!! GONZO !!!!!
!!!!! CRAWFORD !!!!!
!!!!! LIVERPOOL !!!!!
2 point principles:
1. is straight roto (rotisserie) where you have 12 players and compare 1 stats category (usually 5×5, means 5 batting stats: .avg, RBI, HR, SB, R and 5 pitching stats: K’s, WHIP, ERA, Saves and Wins) the best player in 1 category gets 12 points 2nd 11 etc. last place gets 1 point. All points of all stat categories get accumulated and the guy with the most points wins. Roto is pretty tough on newbies since you have to balance your team.
2. principles is simply points: you get a certain amount for singles, rbi, BB, runs HR etc for example we had last year: 1 point single, 2 points double. 3 points triple 4 points HR, 1 point RBI, 1 point Run and -0.5 for K for the batters etc. Similar for pitchers. Its somewhat easier to draft since you only have to get good players and dont need to watch all stat categorys.
These 2 principles can then be played in H2H (Head to Head) where you win or lose the week based on whether you have more points as your oponents or you won more stat categories or you can compare all that over a season and say guy with most overall points wins.

by German Red Sox Fan on Jan 9, 2011 1:49 PM EST up reply actions
After playing for a while
I prefer the points – although its more for the diehards.
I think if you go H-H you go points
If we want a Roto option, which takes less time then just go cats
in yahoo for head2head
catagories like runs, rbis, hr, ave, wins, losses, saves, era and whip. If you have the most after a week in a catagory you get a point for the catagory. Most weeks it will be like 9-0, 8-1, 7-2 final score. then you compile that over the season and whichever has the most wins(points) you get to the playoffs. I have seen it all the way up to 20 catagories to score with.

Seems like we have a lot of interest
I wouldn’t go more than 14 teams in one league (12 is ideal) getting to 14 means drafting guys like Bill Hall in the later rounds.
Maybe if we have enough we can do 2 12 team leagues akin to last year
That sounds good.
I didn’t think of having to draft the dregs due to too many teams. The later rounds were kinda slim pickin’s.

We could also do something like
an “Old” guys/gals league and a “Young” guys/gals league
The older players could talk about old times like before email and the like and about their kids and grandkids, the weather, etc.
The young players could talk about the old coots in the other league – or they could text/twitter about it
or something like that
Okay, so when can we start signing up?
When can you start making new leagues?

Weird thing about our league…there were no trades!
by Sologub on Jan 9, 2011 1:24 PM EST via mobile reply actions
You see a lot less trades in H-H leagues that in Roto
But yeah, 0 trades – I think we were all just feeling each other out. Maybe a 14 team league would illicit more trade activity as the waiver wire would be dead empty
Indeed
Points are points, there’s no need to get points in one area over points in another.
Roto would fuel trades.

I played Fantasy Baseball for the first time last year with the OTM guys over on CBS Sports
Started out rocky, and there were issues with the Playoffs, but overall I had a blast (an 11 week winning streak at the end helps).
I’d definitely be down for another go round. Heck, I’ve already been reading up on potential targets and sleepers. I check multiple sites a week.

Ben (I’m throwing you on here)
Looks like we are well on our way to 20-24 range
Here are some options
(a) Split into two H-H point leagues based upon something – Age, area of the country, blood-type, etc.
(b) Have one 12 team H-H league and one 10-12 team Roto league. Roto is a bit less involved and some could go that route, plus a few of us could double up if need be
Lemme know what you think and I can set them up when they open up
I should have plenty of free time open up this semester, if you need me to double up I can.

The overall points winner sometimes loses in the finals/playoffs. But you could use points as a tie-breaker between the 2 league winners and get an overall Champ

And not every draft guide is the same as well, so you can mix and match what you use and what you ignore. There are few players that all fantasy guys agree completely on.

I fear what fantasy stats may do to us as a group. We should all sign a waiver that states we won’t lose sight of the prize, wOBA rules all and wins still suck as a pitcher statistic.

Part of this was because we were doing daily moves..
And we gave points for starters like we were in a “weekly” moves format (if anybody can follow this). This made it so that the best strategy was to load up on starters on the bench, and then swap in and swap out starters as the week went along and their “starts” came up.
I’m fine with this, just means that in our leagues starters have more value (which may be closer to real life baseball anyways?).
In one aspect I like weekly moves better because it adds a bit more strategy with 2-start pitchers, and then the playoffs don’t turn into an add-drop frenzy of starting pitching.
We can look into this
- weekly lineups vs. daily
I personlly didn’t like the errors nor the quality starts (The QS plus the Wins tended to vault starters). Really good pitchers (Halladay, Lincecum, Hernandez etc.) ended up about 100 pts better than your top position players (Bautista, Votto, Pujols)
I like the errors
but I can see your point about QS + W dilemma. I do like assigning points to both, though. Maybe we can just lessen the point amount for one or both?

Here
Positional:
Runs – 1
Singles – 1
Doubles – 2
Triples – 3
Homers – 4
RBI – 1
SB – 2
CS – (-1)
E – (-2)
K – (-0.5)
Pitching
IP – 3
W – 4
CG – 10
SV – 6
BSV – (-3)
SO – 1
H (-1)
ER – (-2)
BB – (-1)
HBP – (-1)
WP -(-1)
HLD – 3
QS – 4
Pitchers had more value in general
Highest Positional player was Pujols (668 pts) while Halladay was the highest pitcher (837 pts)
Another example was that Brett Myers (582 pts) scored more than Josh Hamilton (530 pts)
I think alot had to do with the QS, seeing as even moderate to above average pitchers can pile those up
I like the idea of negative points for losses.
If there are points for wins, take ’em away for losses.

@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
I would say, maybe, -2 for a loss.
Not as much as what you should get for a win, though, because you’re already getting dinged for all the ERs

@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
nothing for walks for positional players?
And as stupid of stats as they both are, I think credit for wins needs to go along with a penalty for losses. In the CBS one (which was weekly) Pujols was worth 676 and Halladay was worth 698.
Here was our breakdown:
1B – Singles 1 point
2B – Doubles 2 points
3B – Triples 3 points
BB – Walks (Batters) 1 point
CS – Caught Stealing -1 point
HP – Hit by Pitch 1 point
HR – Home Runs 4 points
KO – Strikeouts (Batter) -0.5 points
R – Runs 1 point
RBI – Runs Batted In 1 point
SB – Stolen Bases 2 points
pitchers:
BBI – Walks Issued (Pitchers) -1 point
ER – Earned Runs -1 point
HA – Hits Allowed -1 point
HB – Hit Batsmen -1 point

I like how you guys had W/L worth less and I like the charge for errors (though I think 1 pt may be more reasonable). I don’t really like holds myself.
I'd say half a point for a walk.

Personally, I kinda liked them being worth the same as a single
because a single being more valuable in kind of taken care of with the fact that they can much more easily get an RBI with a single than with a walk.
Disagree
A single is a bit more valuable in actual game play as it can move a runner from first to third or from 2nd to third or even 2nd to home. Since it’s more valuable on the field, it should be more valuable in the pool.
The fact that they can also get a point for an RBI is irrelevant, in my opinion. You get points for a HR and for the RBI, as well.

true but it adds up quite a bit
For Pujols in the CBS one, for example, it would have been the difference between him being worth 676 points and 624.5
I would be on board for receiving a full point
for an intentional base-on-balls. Perhaps even a point and a half, since they won’t pitch to you. But I just don’t think a walk should count as much as a hit.

I like the H-H league, Yahoo, and weekly instead of daily.
With daily moves you will find guys that just pick up and drop players every day, depending on who is starting that day and run away with Wins and K’s. It takes the idea of a fantasy team away. Just my opinion, but Ill join in whatever is needed, Im pretty adaptable.

Question about weekly vs daily
since I’ve only done this once before and it was weekly- if you do it daily, does that mean that every day you can swap the starters you have (so if you have reserve starters, you can get a silly amount of starts each week?). I guess it doesn’t matter too much either way, that just seems weird to me if that’s the case, but I love the idea of changing the lineup every day.
Really, fine with either, just curious.
I would vote daily, but with limited starts.
Also, just for the record, ESPN was free last year. Had a league at school. But if I may say, I preferred Yahoo.

I also played a CBS league last year with almost the same scoring and to prevent that
“pitch and ditch” strategy you could only have 60 innings pitched. After that you got -3 points for every IP, which makes it risky to start mediocre pitcher once you’ve reached 60, since they get minus points more often than plus points.
I dont know whether you can limit the amount of IP on Yahoo this year, you definitly could’n last year.

That sounds reasonable to me
I already spent enough time last year working on my roster while at work, and that was with weekly updates. If we went daily with no cap I’d be fired within the month.

I vote yahoo
never did an espn one except for football and I didnt like it at all.
My preference
ESPN (it’s free, contrary to what a lot of people around here seem to think).
Weekly lineups, so we don’t dedicate our lives to switching starting pitchers in and out.
Head to head league, with point scoring.
1. I prefer Yahoo. I find that i forget to check leagues on other sites. But I’m a “go with the flow” kinda guy, so it won’t bother me much if we don’t use yahoo
2. I could go either way

Yahoo! is my favorite
I’ve mostly played roto, last years CBS h2h was the only time I’ve done that and it was weekly. I like the idea of daily since sometimes a guy would get injured the first day of the week and I couldn’t take him out, but weekly wasn’t bad.
Once the final 24 is established it might make sense to do some votes on the format of the league and draft times?
I’m not sure if we can limit polls here on OTM to certain people? Would potentially have to use a 3rd party site. I know CBS has the poll option but off the top of my head I don’t think ESPN or Yahoo do. Could also just have separate fanposts dedicated to peoples votes on the issues at hand.
I think an external poll is a good idea.
“The Final 24” (~!!) could all send an email to BobZed, and he could email the link. That way, it’s all accurate.

if you need players next year. Email me the link. revmaynard007@yahoo.com
This from an article on Yahoo
Tips are based on a standard head-to-head scoring format: 1 point/single, 2 points/double, 3 points/triple, 4 points/HR, 3 points/SB, .5 points/walk, 1 point/RBI, 1 point/Run, 1 point/strikeout, 2 points/inning pitched (SP), -1 point/earned run, -.25 points/walk issued, -.25 points/hit allowed, 8 points/win, 8 points/save
3pt stolen base?
And i complained about 2! I think it should be based on the actual value it has in the game. A single and a stolen base is not worth the same as two doubles. On that note, a walk should be 1 point, and maybe a penalty for GIDP
Do we have enough "old guys/gals" in the 24?
to do an oldsters, youngsters split? I think it would add some more drama
I'd likely fit in the old guy category, too.
