Hey Dan,

   Last year was a blast, we have some sharp baseball minds at work here. If you don't mind a suggestion or two. Look around the site before setting up the league and sending invites. Must admit last year was quite a different setup, I think maybe a more traditional setup with weekly Head to Head matchups, and standings. Then end the year with a Playoff Format. Just an idea?

And here is a another novel idea, since we are a Trading Card League, have each owner wager a set, card, or whatever worth a predetermined amount by you [say ex. $10.00]. Winner takes all, or winner and runner-up or Top 3. etc. What do you think Dan?, What do you think guys?

Playball, ~BOB~

PS: The spell checker is a great add, works great!

Looks like the registration opens up on 1/26/17 for fantasy baseball.

I'm looking forward to another enjoyable season. Good luck to everyone who plays.

If it's free entry and just for bragging rights you can count me in. 

If anyone wants to participate in a free keeper league let me know, too, as I usually have openings. I have leagues that have been running for over 10 years and we usually have one or two openings. We conduct live drafts and generally just have a grand old time. You can email me here, or at sportzcommish@comcast.net.

That's about it!!!!!

I would be interested in joining another fantasy baseball league or two. Some of my past leagues have fallen by the wayside in recent years, so I am looking for new ones. I am pretty new to The Trading Card Database, but I've been playing fantasy baseball for about fifteen years and always play to the end of the season.

Invites have been sent to the new managers. Teams have been automatically renewed for returning managers.

Still never heard from Figgman or joshthurman. If you're not playing, let me know so I can open up your spots.

Thank you!

Edit: A couple changes from last year.

• I have increased the number of games per position from 162 to 180.
• I have increased the number of Innings Pitched from 1400 to 1500. (9 x 162 = 1458)
• I increased the number of DL spots from 1 to 2. (Sorry, if a player goes inactive, you either have to eat a bench spot or drop him. Same with picking up a minor leaguer, either don't or eat a bench spot. Everyone has the same rules.)

Going to put this one out there for a vote - I need 8 managers to OK this (or 8 to reject it):

Instead of using Batting Average, use On Base Percenatge (this rewards you for having players who walk).

agreed, On base is better than batting avg in fantasy

mark z

on base good here!!

I'll vote to approve the OBP change!
