Grabbing spot starters for the final few days of the season has completely backfired for me so far ...

Had to grab spot starters throughout the last month to make up for several simultaneous DL stints. Boosted the counting stats -- no hope for the rate stats -- to go from eighth to fifth. Probably made more moves this year than in all previous years combined.

Team evidently led the league in doubles that didn't plate anyone -- first in XBH, second in SLG, seventh in RBI.

You killed it in team transactions!

my draftees were either disappointed, injured, or suspended. except for the excellent work by my SPs -- deGrom, Carrasco, and CarMart. I got very lucky on the waiver wire with Severino and Alex Wood. which is why in my pitching stats i had all 11s or 10s (except for sv+hold.) the less said about my terrible offense the better.

disappointING, not disappointed. though there was a lot of disappointment to go around.

Thanks you to Thermo and j.crunch for an exciting stretch run. And special thanks to Thermo for his great job as commish.

It was a middling year for me, the pitchers turned it up a notch in the second half but my offense never really got going. I'm feeling OK about my keeper options for next year though. Now that I'm losing Kershaw to the over-30 crowd I'll have to stop using my pitching as a crutch and figure out how to draft a decent offense.

my offense was def my strong suit all yr

pitching was gerry rigged together esp after arrieta & roark disappointed early and often; erv santana, keuchel & rich hill were huge, & then acquiring jimmy nelson and archer in separate trades was juust enough

please help me come up with a name for this years thread!
i'll start a new one once yahoo registration opens (soon i expect).
also, if anyone wants to volunteer to co-commish, would appreciate. there's some pretty not good things happening for me right now and having a back-up/bench commissioner might not be a bad idea.

I'd be willing to be a backup/bench commish! Never done it before but I do love me some FBB. I can't come up with a snappy title... rock out with your pitch clock out? ugh gross i'll think about it

looking forward to this. i was just looking at the keeper spreadsheet to remind myself of my options and i don't think it was kept up to date ... looks like it's missing some trades from later in the season. not complaining, just informing.

either that or i don't understand the keeper rules. which is entirely possible.

It's very possible I missed some trades! I should be able to update it maybe tomorrow? Or maybe tonight depending.

wow yeah lol i didn't update this fucking thing since july 14. i got some work to do!

thanks Will, you're hired. when i open up the new league you will find yourself with AMAZING NEW POWERS!
appreciate it.

Here is the link to what I hope is the updated spreadsheet. Since I did this super late, the dates are a little buggy on drops (made it 2018, oops, but it's irrelevant really) and Yahoo has changed the formatting on some names so PLEASE double-check that you didn't actually drop a player you're keeping. E.g. "A.J. Ramos" became "AJ Ramos" in the system and i'm using vlookup here.

LMK if there are any corrections, questions, etc.!

Potential thread name: it's not a trick, it's a collusion

^^ A+ name

How does one join?

just send me the email you use to log into yahoo and i can send you an invite when the league opens.

also buy me beer.

Ohtani is going to be two separate players btw. I can't see a simple way of keeping both hims on the same team.

oh weird. doesn't seem like he'll actually be batting much, does it?

we could just have an honour rule where if you draft pitching ohtani, only you are allowed to pick up hitting ohtani? far from ideal, but he presents a unique challenge (i think the best would just be if you could start him as a batter OR hitter each day, but yahoo fucked that right up)

I'm running an auction league this year if anyone's here's interested. $20 to play. The auction is 10am pacific on March 24th. SABR Points scoring, with some tweaks.

I don’t mind the idea of an honour rule with Ohtani. Since he’s supposed to be a more effective pitcher - maybe give whoever drafts him as such five rounds to add him as a hitter before all bets are off?

i think we're dangerously messing with the fabric of space and time, he's going to slip through a wormhole and pitch to himself.

I for one, welcome the destruction of space and time.

I’m sick of it’s shit.
