Wait... am I losing players from Mirabelli League?

We’ve got 5 players registered so far, and seven that haven’t responded…

I thought we’d never win it all. And then we went down 0-3 to the Yankees in 2004, and I thought it was the end of the world.

Wait ’til THIS year!

Ha ha ha!

No, I know you’re not… just seeing some of my players from last season popping up in this thread too. Braden is actually registered with my league, but Connor (unless it’s a different Connor) has not.

I thought we’d never win it all. And then we went down 0-3 to the Yankees in 2004, and I thought it was the end of the world.

Thanks!

The leagues I’ve played in the last couple seasons have gotten less and less competitive and just arent that fun anymore. Looking for a new challenge.

I’d also love to play if a second spot opens up!

I'm already in the Veteran's League

With that said, I have no problem playing in multiple leagues. If you need someone to fill a spot, and can’t get anyone else, let me know. My email is in my profile.

So I can set this one up to be the same way :)

I'm itching to get into a leauge

Ideally I’d like the vets league since there is a lot of overlap with last year’s Gedman league and the FF league. Though I don’t want it to seem like I’m dissing OTM2. So as long as it is a keeper leauge, I’ll be happy.

OTM3?

Do you think there’s enough people who want to play to make an OTM #3? It could be below 2, just similar to the 2 to 1 jump.

I have a bunch of spaces.

If people haven’t replied by the end of the day tomorrow, I will open up some of those spaces.

OTM3 is still there... Mirabelli League is set up in Yahoo! currently, with invites out.

So far, I have 5 signed up, and 7 spots remaining.

Of course, if we wanted an OTM3 that matches the other two leagues, I’d be happy to set it up that way too.

I thought we’d never win it all. And then we went down 0-3 to the Yankees in 2004, and I thought it was the end of the world.

Wait ’til THIS year!

by AlohaSox on Feb 20, 2012 2:33 PM EST up reply actions  

That will be hard to do on Yahoo.

The other two leagues are on ESPN, which offers starts limits.

Right... I meant I could shift it over there if everyone wanted to be consistent.

That would probably bring more validity to your league.

I know you don’t like it when it’s called the “other” league. ;)

just to clarify Rick

the keepers will be for next season and not for this one. IE we will draft our whole teams this season and in 2013 we’ll pick a couple of keepers to start our team off. Correct?

Is there another way to do it, in a new league?

What a fantasy expert. ;)

by Lloyd Christmas on Feb 20, 2012 3:11 PM EST up reply actions  

yes there are other ways to do it!

we could keep players and if there on more then one team there could be a coin flip. You would have to have some sort of progression chart that maps out whom had to give up a player to another team while there ranking on team moves up the charts. Think wavier wire rules. I am not so smart to know all settings or comprimises that may be agreed apon at any certin date in the future. In short Llyod just cause it didnt happen before dont mean it cant happen. I know that thought just blew the top off your head. You may be in need of a new hat

Just a suggestion:

If we are going to make the draft during the day, could we make it on the weekends? And if the draft will be at night, then could we make it on a Friday or Saturday? Thanks!

Currently taking names for a potential OTM3...

… I think there is only one spot left in Rick’s league, and quite a few folks have asked for it. I’ll run the third one, if we can get enough together… so maybe I’ll post that topic up soon.

I suspect we can find enough for a third. Of course, if you just want to play fantasy baseball with your fellow OTMers, I have a Yahoo! league I ran last year that has a spot or two open… different settings than these, but an OTM League still.

I thought we’d never win it all. And then we went down 0-3 to the Yankees in 2004, and I thought it was the end of the world.

Wait ’til THIS year!

Yup... working on it.

So anyone that missed out on OTM1 or OTM2 and wants to play in an OTM3… see the thread I posted today.

why don’t you move your Mirabelli guuys over and start OTM3

by BobZupcic on Feb 23, 2012 9:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Several of them didn't want to play a keeper league...

… not to mention some are also in OTM1 and OTM2, so wouldn’t pick up that many that way either.
