LP Fantasy Baseball 2010 - Page 2

I consider myself the UNC of the LP Basketball League. From FIRST to WORST.

Well I'll agree with you on football. If you recall, I didn't even want to go through with the league because there wasn't enough interest but Nero really pushed for it and I ended up adding my own money to the prize pool to make it more interesting. I really think that the fact that the entry fee was only $100 and the fact that the league was shallow and the prizes were pretty meager had a lot to do with it. From my experience, the activity level and seriousness of the league is usually directly proportional to the prize pool.

But basketball this year has been pretty competitive. You are right that the last 4 teams are not as active and they are a bit behind in games played but if you look at their lineups, they are almost always set properly. Pacifist and NBB were first and second last year respectively and they were extremely active and competitive. Even joeingram who has been fairly inactive since day 1, I see he got a co-owner who has been setting the lineups. I've made a few trade proposals to all of them and they have all been rejected fairly quickly so they are checking. Just because they are not going apeshit on the waiver wire doesn't mean that they are not active. The last 4 are also basically out of contention so you can't realistically expect them to be nuts about their team. As long as their lineups are reasonable set and they respond to trade offers, I'm totally fine with their participation levels.

Finally, I want to say that each sport has a different set of owners and very few guys play all the sports. Dzoo, Jamie, Tripsearchin, these guys play only baseball and have been part of the league for a while now. I'd say that baseball has the highest activity level and is the most serious and competitive out of all the fantasy sports so I definitely wouldn't hold the fact that football was kinda boring and apply that to baseball. Well, TalentedTom did join a couple years back and I think he went the whole year without making a single move and ended up in dead last but besides for that, this league has been very competitive and active.

I'd be willing to go 50/50 on a team with you if you wanted. That way you would be able to be involved as much as you could.

rush/acdawg, it would be great to have you guys join. We already have 10 so the league will run but it would be nice to get at least 12 for a more competitive league.

We have a week left until the draft so if you guys can start sending me the buyin, TenBagger (Brooklyn) on stars or FT or pm me for alternative arrangements. Also, make sure to run the test and have the latest version of flash before the draft. We've had people miss the start of the draft due to installing flash and restarting their computers.

I have a request to push the draft back. Anyone object to moving the draft til 9 or 10pm?

I'd preferably like to split a team with someone, since I don't have a ton of extra money and I might do more than one league so I'd like to only spend like $100 per league. So yeah if someone wants to be co-managers with me on a team then I'm in.
