I really don't understand how this works. When can I set my lineup? I've tried to set my week two lineup and it doesn't seem to accept it. This website format is not very user friendly at all.
Yeah, this first period is completely screwed up and they have not handled incorporation of the early games well at all.
Fade having trouble with lineup, please replace Duda with trumbo and lee, hamel, ceuto and Lewis as my starters
Fade, please set the following lineup for me. My catcher Napoli can't start at C for some reason. 1B Adrian Gonzalez 2B Robinson Cano 3B Adrian Beltre SS Asdrubal Cabrera C Mike Napoli UI Pablo Sandoval MI Jason Kipnis CI David Ortiz OF Curtis Granderson OF Shane Victorino OF Desmond Jennings OF Angel Pagan OF Coco Crisp SP Jered Weaver SP Jon Lester SP Ricky Romero SP Chad Billingsley SP Gio Gonzalez SP Jake Peavy RP Grant Balfour And please, fix my catcher's eligibility.

Hey everyone, As some of you know, I am also running a Yahoo league mainly in order to test out their system to see if we might consider migrating there next year. I have decided that I also want to test out ESPN to see how their system compares with Fanstar and Yahoo. So, I've started up an ESPN league which mirrors our current settings as closely as possible. Like before, you guys will get first crack at joining. I'm going to send out e-mail invitations to each of you. Please let me know if you want to play in this league and accept/decline the invite. We'll schedule a draft date once the league is filled up. It will have to be a fast live draft. I tried to make it as close to our rules as possible. Main differences are that match-ups are full weeks (Mon-Sun) rather than split week, and pitching lineups are a bit different (SP x 4, RP x 2, P x 1) with no season game limits. I have the ability to set a weekly games started limit (or an innings cap limit) for total pitchers each week. Anyone have an opinion whether that's a good idea? Here are the league settings (format is probably hard to read, but oh well). Basic Settings (Edit) League Name Better Late Than Never!

I personally would suggest no cap, since 1.) that's just more for you to keep up with and 2.) it would be interesting to see how the season turns out without the cap.
Without one, you have to deal with streaming BS (I.e. people grabbing 2-start pitchers off waivers each week). But it's a tradeoff either way.
I'm now inviting my Yahoo league players to join the ESPN league, so if you want to take part, respond to the invite ASAP. I am thinking a Sunday afternoon draft if we're filled up in time.
I'm kinda interested in the ESPN league but I was waiting on a time for the draft. If you're doing it Sunday afternoon I'm out, I have a work meeting that's going to conflict. If it's at another time I'd be happy to play.
