    Yeah, just a reply saying he wanted in. I have not heard anything from The Cat, though.

    I remember The Cat stopped participating right around the All-Star game last year. Maybe Castor should take his place?

    I was supposed to respond?

    I thought I was just supposed to go to the website, which I did. I want to do this. My early exit last year was because I didn't understand the rules. I had used up virtually all of my eligibility at catcher and relief pitcher by a week or so after the break, so my team was inevitably finished... nothing I could really do about it.

    Some type of acknowlegement would have been nice, as well as a vote on # of games a week. (BTW, 2 games a week won.) I need The Cat, DVauthrin, SSG, and PSJ to put an email on the their team page. Each team must include an email address in order to conduct transactions.

    Done.

    My apologies for not confirming... I thought it was already taken care of.

    Just one week to go!

    Does everybody have their draft strategy formulated yet?

    A few notes about the draft before we begin.

    1) Don't worry about player positions. Most are already set, but the exceptions can be taken care of by me. For example, if you want to draft Biggio as an outfielder, go ahead. He may still be listed as a 2B, but I will change it if Fanstar doesn't. I haven't figured out yet how to list players at multiple positions. I don't know if that is possible. I'll know for sure before the draft.

    2) There will not be a Utility Outfielder position. Instead, we will use 4 outfielders (which is basically the same thing). Adding the "utility" tag to the infielders is hard enough. This also goes to multiple position listing. Still working on that one.


    One other thing to note. If I understand Fanstar correctly, we will be having two games a week, but the schedule only allows for 26 weeks of games (I have 25 scheduled, the 26th will be our playoffs). This means that each week's matchup will be a double header against the team you are playing. For example, The Skulls play the Pythons in week one. Game one will be Monday-Thursday, and game 2 will be Friday-Sunday.

    This means the Pythons will be 0-2 after week one.:)

    As for the playoff week, I can change the schedule at that time to only have a single game that week.

    Also, I'm bored here at work, and I'm tired of some of the teams not changing their team logo from the generic glove and ball, so I made a few changes myself. I'm particularly proud of The Cat's coach's picture. Like it, Cat?

    I also added some research links to the left hand column. RocketPimp, I added one just for you.

    I have some pictures I will use as my logo, but I seem to have difficulty setting it up. They are JPEG files, if that is a problem.

    Do you have a place to host them on the web? If not, email them to me and I'll host them for you.

    Another question for the league:

    Game Limits...do we want them? Baseball is different than basketball in that most players play everyday anyway. However, pitchers, particularly starting pitchers, are different. I can set game limits. BUT, another option is to set a limit of # of starters per game. Instead of being careful of game limits and getting run over during a week when you have one starter starting against a team with 5 starting, how about a limit of 4 starters per match. That way, everyone can have 4 starters going, thus evening up the matchups (quality of starters notwithstanding).

    The same can be done for relief pitchers.
