VERY EASY BASEBALL

Archive for the ‘Fantasy Baseball’ Category

I just made a fantasy baseball account on Yahoo and I was wondering how many total players and how many of each position you get to draft for your final roster.

It depends on your league, but standard Yahoo leagues have 22 players. The starting roster is:

catcher
1st baseman
2nd baseman
3rd baseman
shortstop
3 outfielders
utility (a hitter at any position)
2 starting pitchers
2 relief pitchers
3 pitchers (starters or relievers)

Your bench spots can be divided as you choose between hitters and pitchers.

I live on the east coast and am wondering when a "new" day starts for fantasy baseball. What I mean is that if a player is on waivers until Tuesday, what time Tuesday morning does he become available to pick up as a free agent?

I like fantasy baseball but am relatively new at this sport. Should I try to create a keeper league or how do I gain experience and knowledge to do this?

running a keeper league is alot of work & if you are new at fantasy baseball i’d make sure you have what it takes to stay active all season. fantasy baseball is more work than fantasy football, basketball & hockey.

there are seveal ways to run a keeper league in any sport, here is how i do it, so that all owners have access to the information all season / off season.

start a league, invite your friends / people you know will stay active. draft the league & play the season out.

after the season starts, start a free group on yahoo & invite all the members of your league. they will need to be there.

at the end of the season copy each team’s final roster & paste them in the FILES section. make a seperate file for each year, final results & draft order for the next season.

use the MESSAGE BOARD to keep in contact in the off season, post your keepers (you will need to make a file for keepers as well), make off season trades & you can even draft the 2nd season on the message board.

use the POLLS section to vote on rule changes or off season trades.

future DRAFTS, you can draft on the message board in your group, do a LIVE draft but the 1st 6 (or however many keepers you have) rounds must be your keepers. i’ve done it both ways but recently we are drafting in the league. i put all the keepers on each team, set the season to ready & set waivers to 0 days. when it’s your pick, grab the guy you want off the waiver wire & then the next guy will follow. we are using a 24 hour clock, you have 24 hours to make a pick, then you e-mail or call the next guy.

Hardball fans on the move can enjoy America’s national pastime in Major League Baseball 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars. The titular “Fantasy” refers not to the increasingly popular hobby of stat-loving sports fans, but more fanciful ideas like stadiums in the Everglades, the Arctic, or on the moon. And while the game does feature the starting lineups from all 30 Major League Baseball teams, traditional simulation aspects have been jettisoned in favor of more arcade-style power-ups that allow pitchers to throw a ball that splits in two, or toss a heater so fast that it literally catches fire. Meanwhile, hitters can drive the defense crazy by selecting a “chicken ball” that runs away from fielders once it hits the ground, but the defense can fight back by erecting brick walls or performing super jumps. Stylus-based controls let gamers gauge the power of swings and the accuracy of pitches, while fielding and base running is accomplished by dragging and tracing lines on the touch screen. A training mode helps players get acclimated to the control scheme with a number of mini-games, while tournament and exhibition modes get right to the baseball. Wireless connectivity allows two-players to go head-to-head locally or in worldwide multiplayer games. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide Universal Arcade Games Baseball Games Simulation Games Sports Games

I was playing fantasy basketball on yahoo sports and one of the guy’s in the league wants me to play fantasy baseball..but im not very good with baseball..

if u no how baseball works and have played any other fantasy sports on yahoo it will be simple if not have your friend explain it in person it would be easier for him to explain as each fantasy league is setup different

Your league’s logo in front of this trophy serves as a memorable legacy for your fantasy baseball league.

I play fantasy baseball in a head-to-head league on Yahoo! I had a bunch of Tigers and White Sox starting yesterday, and the game got rained out. I’m guessing that if the game isn’t played that week, then I just don’t get any stats from those players. Is that true?

Yes that is true. No game..No stats. When the game is eventually made up is when the stats count. So if there is not a Double header or the game is not made up in the same scoring week you are out of luck.

Messenger has buttons for email, voice/chat archive, and yahoo 360. I use yahoo fantasy baseball a lot and have to log in all the time, yet my messenger is running all the time. Why not save people time and have a button on messenger that allows me to log straight into the fantasy baseball?

That’s a great idea! Email Yahoo about it. If they had any common sense, they would make a button like that.

This is my first year and i want to know when 2008 fantasy baseball starts.

Most of the time they tend to start around a month before pre-season gets started.

That being said, should be sometime around February or so.

Good luck!!
