Clutchfans (Fade's) 2008 Fantasy Baseball Trash Talk Thread

I really like LonghornFan's team this year. 3B is a bit weak, but he's powerful everywhere else. I thought he had a very strong draft.

 

when do actual games start or when do i need to set my very stinky line-up by??

 

The first game period will be Monday, March 31 to Thursday, April 3rd. The Boston-Oakland games in Japan on March 25th/26th and the Atlanta-Washington game on March 30th should be appended onto the Mar 31 - Apr 3rd game period. That's what they've always done in the past when there were a couple of early games.

Also, I will be embarking on a 2 month road trip through the USA starting April 1st, so I will need somebody to be acting commissioner while I'm gone, as I will probably only be able to pop in sporadically. Any volunteers?

 

I'll volunteer as I'm on the PC a lot at work and at home and I check in frequently. What exactly would I be responsible for?

 

Just taking care of last minute lineup changes for people, contacting fanstar if anything goes screwy with the site, making sure everyone has a valid lineup set. You don't have to bother counting SP/RP games as I can do that retroactively once I get back.

Also, as a favor to me, I'd ask you to keep an eye out for injured players on my team the Expos and substitute in a replacement if someone is going to miss extended time. I'm hoping to be able to check in once a week or so, but who knows about Internet access while on the road.

I'll email you the password before I head out. Thanks for doing this.

 

I want to thank Fade and Sam for not mentioning my team as one of the stronger ones. Matter of fact, if memory serves me right Sam's evaluation of every team last year mentioned that I indeed had one of the weakest teams after the draft. Only to meet him in the Finals............

I like being like the Rockets, under the radar.......

 

On the other hand, with the last pick of the entire draft and Woods winning the closer role in Chicago over a guy picked in our draft a few rounds earlier, could be the steal of the draft.........

Either way, closer situation not horrible, I do have one of the top in the game.....

 

Thanks for this info. I was wondering why the stats from the game this morning hadn't appeared on my team yet. I got 1 run from Papi and the win from Okajima, so it's a good start to the season for me!

 

Ummm, who are you? Papi is mine in this league, beyatch.

 

Sorry, I'm not in the league...was talking about my own ESPN fantasy league. Just thanking you for the information about the scoring not starting until March 31st.

 

Cool. Just use your forcefield to deflect the "beytach" and I'll take it back.

 

Is this a keeper league? If so, you have what could be a potentially awesome pitching rotation for the next few years, Longhorn. Bedard, Hughes, Liriano, and Bailey could be a monster staff to face for anyone in this league in the coming years if it's a keeper league.

 

I emailed you, LonghornFan.

 

Ummm.... somehow Brad Lidge is my only player this week. That's obviously a mistake. Is there any way that can get fixed?

Sorry but I just noticed it when I went to check scores this morning.

 

i'll also be helping cover the commissioners position while Fade is on the road and longhorn is on pine

will try to check this thread daily, if not drop me an email and i'll fix your line-up issues

Smeeeeeeeeeeeg

 

Thanks Smeg. I've had the stomach flu all week and missed a lot of work and internet time. So glad someone else is here to help.

 

Longhorn...if I can get this lineup in it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.
