Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Money ensures that people enter with the intention of taking it seriously, but also means that people are less likely to drop out midway through the season. Besides, if it wasn't a money league, we would restrict it to people we were already familiar with through fantasy baseball. And $20 is hardly a huge sum. It can be if you just finished grad school and are looking for a job.
TBJ12 Verified Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'll join if there's still an open spot.

BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Greenwood can you please post the rules and details to this league and draft? Please
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I don't know every detail of the league yet. Once we have 20 owners, we can figure that stuff out. Generally easy-going people know enough at this point to commit to the league without fretting over those details. But, I can tell you the categories will probably be something like: Hitting: AVG OBP SLG Runs RBI Home Runs Net Stolen Bases Pitching: Wins or Quality Starts Holds Saves (Boxy convinced me Net Saves sucks) StrikeOuts K/BB ERA WHIP
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 You also have to show up to the draft drunk, followed by taking a Shot every time a Bluejay is taken. Makes for some interesting bids
godJPA Verified Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 First time poster and long time lurker here. I'd be interested in joining the league if you accept newcomers and if there is any spots left. Also, i am french so my spelling might not always be good.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I wish intentional wok would join up. Probably my favourite new-ish poster.
JaysAllMighty Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'll get my ass kicked but I'm in

jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Has MetsGuy even logged on since he made the Dickey trade post? I know since it's for money it solves some issues, but at the same time it's only 20$ and if someone has a super s***** team and is out of it half way through and they have no history on the board i would assume they won't spend the time setting lineups. I think we should wait till we have 20 people with a little bit of a track record here. Just my opinion though.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I think between making the payment, and responding to the various polls in the next week or so, we'll have enough checkpoints to weed out the guys that aren't serious. At the same time, I'd like to give a chance to newbies who don't have thousands of posts on these boards. Besides, most of these guys we don't know, are probably sharks looking to school us.
TwistedLogic Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I wish intentional wok would join up. Probably my favourite new-ish poster. I thought I was your favorite.
godJPA Verified Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 1. JPA is the definition of a joke 2. Ryan Goins's bat is not good enough to stick but i'd rather have him at second because of his defense then having Maicer Izturis. 3. This one is a tough one, but i'd have to go with either the unforgiven or whiskey in the jar.

King Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I think you passed but just barely. How is that a pass? That's a fail if I ever saw one. He even referenced the "Can Ryan Goins Stick?" thread.
godJPA Verified Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 How is that a pass? That's a fail if I ever saw one. He even referenced the "Can Ryan Goins Stick?" thread. Explain why i failed please? I haven't read all the "Can Ryan Goins Stick" thread, it was my opinion of him. I know he can't stick, i just don't think we have any viable options for second base at the moment. Or at least until Devon Travis is ready to contribute at the big league level.
McD Verified Member Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Id be interested. Dunno exactly what everything involves but keen to find out!

Glad to have you.

CanuckofChicago Verified Member Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hey everyone. First time poster. I was wondering if you are still looking for a new owner? I would be interested in joining. What is your format of your league? Keeper? Auction?
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Explain why i failed please? I haven't read all the "Can Ryan Goins Stick" thread, it was my opinion of him.

It's all just a running joke, don't worry. You aced question 1. You did o.k. on question 2. How you did on question 3 is up to interpretation. For the record, the best Metalica songs are the ones that predate the Black Album but since the purpose of the question is to screen out a hardcore Metalica fan and troll who used to hang out here, the fact that your answers seem to indicate a pretty shallow knowledge of the band is probably a plus in your favour. And again this is really just a running inside joke.

But no worries, I'm 99.9% sure, we'll have room for you. The next item on the agenda is to confirm the interest of the people who said they were 'maybe' interested. It's piss or get off the pot time. We need to know whether you are in or out at this point, as we can't hold your spot for you. So, assuming we can line up a date that works for everyone, are you guys in or not? GD? North? Hurl? JFaS?
GD Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Shouldn't the next item on the agenda be to, y'know, figure out some rules?
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Not really. The basic structure is in place. Of course, there's a chance we may have to switch from auction to serpentine, if we can't find a date that works for people. Once we know the participants, we can discuss the finer points - such as which stats we are using, rosters, disabled lists etc. Seriously, what do you need to know about the rules to make your decision?

Stats used / format (auction or serpentine, no changes).
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm going to predict we'll need 7ish new members from the current list of 20. So if anyone is still interested they should let AG know.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Seriously, what do you need to know about the rules to make your decision? Two catchers? Innings minimum? Pool distribution?
