I think you took his post the wrong way. He was excited about the possibility of you joining! Pretty much everyone likes you here among the "fantasy guys".

 

Oh. Well if so my apologies to King. Thx again. Must be getting too senstive in my 50's. Shoot me if I ever start sounding like JaysAllMighty.

He had PM'ed to ask if I have any interest. I PM'ed him to decline but appreciated the offer. I love you too.

 

Join the fun bro! It's too bad that we won't have you around. s*** gets serious in these leagues.

[Boxcar]

How about the BB Invitational.

Would be cool if we cycled out the bottom three teams every year, to make room for new winners, and guys from other boards who want to get in on this.

 

That way, to build a dynasty, you would have to remain moderately competitive each year to keep your team (kind of like real baseball).

 

Still beating that drum, eh

[spittin]

Absolutely yahoo. I was experimenting in my head with category changes such as k/9, HR (pitching), walks as a counting etc. since I'd like to get rid of Wins and s***** AVG but this is a league for the people, and the people will speak.

 

One thing I'd really like to explore is to completely eliminating streaming, if Wins and Ks are punted for something like k/9 ans HR that might work. I'm assuming there's a correlation between HRs allowed and fly ball pitchers so this could add value to the groundball guys, or should I just shut up, heh.

[Boxcar]

How many of the ~23 interested parties have bad BBDL teams? Abom, Orgfiller, and L54? I don't think this is a case of a bunch of BBDL members fed up because talent is too highly concentrated at the top of their league.

 

Personally, I made a mess of my first ever dynasty team, drafted without a spreadsheet and generally f***ed it up for years. I've improved since then and I really want another crack at playing DDL guys (and upper level BBDL) to test myself. I'm in it for the competition, which is why I'm keen on getting good players more than simply "active" because I'd say beating whiny bitch connorp is more difficult than 75%+ of more active BBDLers.

 

If this is just a first come, first serve type of thing where the last few spots only are decided, then I'm likely not really interested. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist.

Carry on, nothing to see here..

[Boxcar]

It's BBDL owners with bad teams and those with great teams who seem to be bored with it. There's not a whole lot of intrigue in that league, from what I've sensed as a co-manager.

 

Good: GD, Cyborg, King, Greenwood, Boxcar, Connorp, Spittin, Jaysguy34

Bad: Abom, Orgfiller, L54, Chappy

 

King, Greenwood and JG are in the average or below average pile. You can't throw Chappy or Abom in the bad pile and those guys in the good pile.

Eno Sarris put that crazy bug in my ear with this

 

"The Other Stats

(Batter: ISO, BB%, Ks, NetSB, Grand Slams; Pitcher: K/9, BB/9, HR/9, GB%, CG)

There’s some value to be gained by making your stats in your league more sabermetrically inclined, I understand the impetus. For example, why not move stolen bases to net stolen bases? If stolen bases are a positive, being caught stealing should be a negative. And by adding ground ball rate OR homers per nine, you can reward pitchers that keep the ball on the ground, which we know is a valuable skill. I don’t mind the idea. Just try to look at your stats and see, on a very basic level, which sorts of players your system values. Because if you do something like OPS, and then also add in batting average, you’re having the same problem my AVG/OBP league had. If you add GB% AND HR/9, you might be over-valuing worm-burners. Be careful, because every category you add dilutes the importance of any one category, and yet also gives you the opportunity to double-count some more and over-value a certain type of player.

 

In other words, say out loud what your problem with your current setting is. Get the league to say what they think. If it’s “we think steals guys are too heavily favored,” change SB to Net-SB, or take it out and replace it with OBP or something that helps top-of-the-lineup guys whether or not they steal bases. You could even use strikeouts by the batter here, since strikeouts are correlated with power. If it’s “we hate closers,” maybe consider dropping saves and adding a strikeout rate stat. It’s not that weird to have Ks AND K/9 — it just means you need to accrue strikeouts at a good rate. And you’ll have a reason to have good relievers on your team with or without the chance at getting saves. If you hate wins, sure, use quality starts. They aren’t the best thing in the world, but they’re slightly better than wins!"

Actually, without naming names, this league might have the strongest bottom-five group of owners of any forum dynasty league.

I don't think the DDL cast is stronger than this group really. Subtract North, Silvergun, and njh and add Cyborg, Greenwood, and GD/jays4life. Pretty close probably. Would be nice to have all six. And brutal.

Poor frenchsoup lol

[TRM]

For all the talk about strength of this league, we have no DDL titles in it, and only one Regular Season champion.

 

Just saying...

It would be great.

 

Everything cant be perfect.

 

Anyway, maybe I need to start looking for a replacement for the Padres

Don't leave, but if you absolutely must, finding your own replacement would indeed be pretty swell.

I wouldn't have a problem with Frenchsoup being the #20 member of the league. Although I think he should co-manage with someone (J4L19?) and maybe take over a vacant LoD team in the future.

He can have my LOD team if that's OK with everyone. I'd rather not take him over someone established.

 

Not an affront to him, just experienced first hand what happens when you take on unknowns.

Yeah, and LOD is definitely the biggest challenge on the forum. League is a grind.

I actually forgot myself cause I'm dumn. Makes two regular season champs.

 

Suck it.
