FANTASY BASEBALL 2008

Were hoping to do another manual draft this year, and seeing as last years took a long time and caused a bit of controversy the sooner we start the better.

The proboard has been created and the address is

http://brfcsmlb2008.proboards66.com

If you want to play join up to the boards and express your interest. With a maximum of sixteen teams you will need to get your teams in quickly to avoid any dissapointments.

New players are always welcome, although with the league quite competitive its probably best you know a little about baseball.

Filling up nicely, anyone is welcome to join.

Mods could you replace this thread with the 2007 one?

[rog of the rovers]

12 places taken already, maximum of four places left.

[rog of the rovers]

14 teams, if no one else has joined by the end of the day, then I'm going to close the registration.

[Exiled_Rover]

I've registered, but I've no idea how to go about aquiring a team. If it's up to the Admin to sort it out I'll be the Oldham Athletics. Ta.

[rog of the rovers]

One place left.

We pick our own team in a traditional draft system. Hopefully start it soon, as it does take a while.

just been on to yahoo and there is nothing ab out the upcoming season on fantasy baseball at all. where are we gonna getour list of players from, to enable us to draft like we did last time??

[rog of the rovers]

I know, the yahoo game will be up and running in the next couple of weeks, and the list should be available then.

The draft takes quite a while though so I'm starting early, shouldn't really need a list of players to choose at first because they're pretty obvious. (1. A. Rodriguez 2. Jose Reyes etc...)

There is some advice on the Yahoo pages

Yahoo Bigger Board

Other helpful websites

Fantasy Baseball Cafe

Fantasy Baseball.com

Hope these help make your draft choices easier

*****P.S. ONE PLACE LEFT*****

rog, i do believe that i get pick number 1?? because i finished dead last, last season??

[rog of the rovers]

Alas some teams have not come back so will be picking a random draft order again!

Anyone can win from any draft position anyway, being near the top didn't help Lousada last time, neither did being last hinder Geds Mets.

Hoping to start drafting this weekend, if we can get one more team!!

[rog of the rovers]

ONE PLACE GUYS!!! COME ON LETS FILL IT!!!!!

[Kandevil]

pinned, hopefully we'll fill the last spot.

[Eddie]

I've got another friend who says he will sign up, but just waiting on him to do it.

[rog of the rovers]

Thanks Eddie, hopefully start drafting this weekend.

[rog of the rovers]

Filled guys! well done.

Draft order will be on here in a hour or so.

Make sure you keep checking the boards as often as possible, to help the draft keep going and finish as soon as possible.

Don't forget the season starts early this year, 25th March 2008 so we haven't got too long.

[ABBEY]

[Eddie]

Well what do you know, the friend I get to fill the spot gets the first draft pick and I'm down in 14th...typical! By the way, should I tell him to start picking now?

[American]

I love being 16th. You get 2 of the top 17 players (better when it is a 12 team league, though).

[Eddie]

Yeah, I can see that. I'd certainly want to either be 1-6 or 10-16, those middle drafts don't get the benefit of the absolute allstars or the two high picks.

[Exiled_Rover]

So you didn't add me then? Fair enough.

[Eddie]

It's an interesting first pick.

[rog of the rovers]

I've registered, but I've no idea how to go about aquiring a team. If it's up to the Admin to sort it out I'll be the Oldham Athletics. Ta.

really sorry mate, my disseration is handed in tomorrow so I've been all over the place of late, I thought you might be "doug"

Any problems with the draft then you'll be the first one to know and hopefully we can get you in!

Apologies
