Any team caught using the shift will be fined by the league: your 2023 fantasy baseball thread!

Congratulations Will on a great season! Like any of us had a chance against a team with Betts AND Acuna.

I'm happy with my fourth place finish considering my team's horrible start and the injuries to most of my top draft picks. OF and C were a mess all season long, I need to fix that in the draft next year.

After what happened to Manoah - I’m still not dissuaded from the idea that there is some kind of curse on my pitching.

I tried some late season heroics to take Will down but his GLORP was just insurmountable, well done!

Congrats will! I enjoyed my run at the top for awhile but in the end, some of my hot streak players who kept me afloat faded away and a couple of injuries did the rest, not that anyone would overcome the acuna/betts duo.

I guess however for the first time in a few seasons, I'm thoroughly happy with my potential keepers entering next season.

Whew thanks all! Burnesen and bambino really had me sweating at the end, almost as much as my average era of like 9 for most of September did. Now I can finally just... Stop sweating

I'll do a final update on the keeper sheet later today!

congratulations! a dominant performance

frustrating season for me, my offense was pretty great all year but just couldn't get any reliable pitching rotation going. and then the franco trade lol. SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME. whatcha gonna do though.

i have a mere eight players remaining from draft day. six of them are possible keepers.

i was happy with my Freeman trade but it was too late to make a difference. i got wrecked by the early ERA troubles and later OBP troubles, and tried to balance semi-punting saves + holds with going all in with other categories. didn't quite work.

the annual top 10 hitters of the fantasy season

Ronald Acuña Jr.
Freddie Freeman
Matt Olson
Mookie Betts
Shohei Ohtani
Juan Soto
Kyle Tucker
Corey Seager
Corbin Carroll
Marcus Semien

And the top 10 pitchers

Gerrit Cole
Zach Eflin
Spencer Strider
George Kirby
Logan Webb
Zac Gallen
Zack Wheeler
Justin Steele
Kyle Bradish
Luis Castillo

an all-Zachary staff might have taken the chip

How good was Will's team?

I had top #3,6,7 hitters and top #1 & 3 pitchers and he still beat me by something like 10 points. That's kind of unreal in a 13T roto.

i was very fortunate to grab Eflin when i did, what a season that dude had. i'm kinda surprised he was sitting there most of the season, but it was a weird one for pitchers. there weren't a lot of guys who were across-the-board great for the full season, except for Cole.

Hey y'all, Votto No Get Enemy's gonna cut out this year. If it wasn't obvious by my complete lack of engagement, my interest in FBB plummeted to zero last season. Thanks for letting me play along these past few years!

we'll miss you! i hope this means you've also been able to extricate yourself from that truly nightmarish other glorping fantasy league with the family. it was bad enough that i retold your stories to some of the guys in my other league!

also, apparently, this was a lie:

I'll do a final update on the keeper sheet later today!

but i was able to do it today.
see here

lemme know if there are any issues! (or wait until next season's thread, when most of you will bother looking at it lol)

godspeed ✖

thanks will

Sorry to hear. I might have to refresh my memory on the other glorping fantasy thread.

I guess will see if any posters are interested in taking over Votto…

the keepers on Votto are p.great! Grayson/Vlad/Oneil, Sandy/Seager/Murphy

ya, some good options there for sure

compared to my rebuilding-a$$ at least

Is there a policy on how are abandoned teams are handled if no takers on adopting it? All players straight back to the draft or is there another way of redistributing?

Also, how do we get gyac to discover and relish the great American pastime of yahoo! Fantasy Baseball?

All players just go back into the draft pool. Any keepers not drafted are shot.

When is the deadline for keeper commitments? I have a potential odd man out situation...

we're not even close. i'll figure it out when i start the new thread in a couple weeks.
deadline was March 19 last year, so expect something close to that.

Thank you Thermo.
