Interesting choice.

I don't care much either but SB totals are low as it is and this will just lower them.

Gotta be that guy hey!

I'd like to get the divisions settled before we start trading. We can have the draft orders revealed and I will add it to the original post for reference.

Jan. 18 MiLB first.

2 people left to vote on rules, for those who haven't please do so here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2BH9TRM I'd like to give a shout out to Connor for being the only person to vote on only 2 of the 4 questions.

I've narrowed the name down to one of, MODS- most outstanding dynasty sirs BORED-bringer of rain elite dynasty I'm leaning towards MODS so unless people insist on a poll regarding league name we will go ahead with Cyborg's suggestion, any objections?

Slapped me with the humble stick.

Understood, thanks. That settles it folks, We'll get a poll going on the last two rules to finalize, scoring categories and the roster cut-down flexibility idea NJH proposed. Then, I'll randomize two separate draft orders. One for drafting our divisions and the mlb/milb draft order.

The kid in me kind of likes the FYSMC dynasty.

What the.... I was thinking of just going with saberleagues.com allowing for future flexibility and the possibility of adding BBDL,DDL, and LOD profiles later.

K, lets bang off a name real quick, please join in suggestions..

You ever see the movie Step Brothers? That's you two guys.

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!"

Carry on, nothing to see here..

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.

I was going to propose Monday, January, 18 as the start date. That way it gives us a good amount of time to prepare and to get the site up and running as I'd like to avoid proboards all together.

Are you getting at less keepers? Like 15? Could be interesting, basically throw away all relievers, back end pitching and bench players. Gives a better chance at finding diamonds in the rough and strong rebound candidates?

Abom is weird and punts pitching, his offence is great. Org and to a lesser extent L54 and Greenwood inherited s***.

He hasn't made one transaction in LOD or posted at all, no idea what his interest level is.

I think you're underestimating the guys we have, it's probably the best group possible minus you and NJH. The "elite talent" idea is out the door but with the guys who still expressed interest it made sense to go ahead with it. You're probably right about the BBDL situation but remember it was basically open to anyone to join so that left us with guys like Wilko, Randy, Ang (doesn't seem to care anymore), BabbaGanoush etc. That's not going to happen with this group imo.

It might not hurt to give burlingtonbandit a spot, he has a track record in the hockey league and he's always posting on the board. I could look for a comanager in the bbdl which could give Frenchsoup an in and I might be willing to hand over the keys eventually if all goes well. The last spot could go to one of the DDLrs -- Jays_Fever, TCA or zero's.

Anyone with a better name suggestion? Unfortunately Premiere league is already taken and Elite League isn't going to fly so some suggestions would be appreciated. Something that's kind of short and works well with a .com or .ca is preferred.
