Fade's ClutchFans Baseball Keeper League Check In (2 open spots!)

All right, mofos! It's time to get this league back on the go again for another year. I assume our core group of 8 is coming back (you better!). The owners of the Stinky Punks and Da Yankees will not be back, so there are two open spots this year... seems like this always happens.

Anyway, please post here to check in. Or, respond to the mass e-mail I'm going to send out.

The league is already renewed and paid for, and the entry fee this time around is going to be $6.00 US each. So, when you get a chance, please send six bucks to joshgillard (at) hotmail.com

Here are some dates:

March 9th: Keeper declaration deadline. Your 4 keepers must be declared by this day. If this is not done by midnight of this day, I will pick them for you. You can declare them early if you want, and can change your mind however often you want up until the deadline, but March 9th is when they absolutely MUST be declared, because we'll be starting the draft the next day.

March 10th: This is the tentative day we will start the draft.

 

Here is some information for anyone who wants to join our family:

Fanstar league: http://www.fantasybaseballsite.com/baseball/clutchcity/

We play a split week head-to-head fantasy points format, with game periods running Mon-Thur and Fri-Sun. Each stat is worth a set number of points. If you have more total points than your opponent during a game period, then you get a win. It's a lot like fantasy football scoring, actually. Here is the complete scoring system:

Hitting
Hits: 1 point
Runs: 1 point
Doubles: 1 point
Triples: 2 points
Home Runs: 3 points
RBI�s: 1 point
Stolen Bases: 2 points
Caught Stealing: -1point
Walks: 1 point
Strikeouts: -1 point
Errors: -1 point
Grand Slams: 3 points
HBP: 1 point

Pitching
Innings Pitched: 3 points
Hit Allowed: -1 point
Walks Allowed: -1 point
Strikeouts: 1 point
Earned Runs: -1 point
Wins: 10 points
Losses: -5 points
Saves: 10 points
Blown Saves: -5 points
Complete Games: 5 points
Shutouts: 10 points
No-Hitter: 20 points
Perfect Game: 30 points

Each team starts:

Hitters
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, Util, 4 OF

Pitchers
We use game limits for pitchers, not innings. This means that you get a set number of SP and RP games that you can use however you want throughout the season. I believe you get 155 games for SP and 130 games for RP. You can start up to 7 pitchers each game period. Generally speaking, if you leave the same 5 SP and 2 RP in your lineup all the time, you will run out of pitcher games roughly at the end of the season. If you constantly tweak the lineup to start more, then you will run out of your games faster and vice versa.

Entry fee is six bucks each by paypal (see above).

Each team has 4 keepers. We're pretty active, and if you aren't doing well you can trade for players, better keepers, draft picks, etc.. for next year.

 

Well that's just great.

 

We'll see how it goes. If worst comes to worst, we can always cut it back to 8 teams. Would not like to go any lower than that, though.

 

Green = Confirmed back
Blue = Confirmed back and paid
Red = Not coming back
