You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps: Your 2011 Fantasy Baseball thread!

i was hoping no one else would notice. but he was on Will's now defunct team. r.i.p.

Jimmy Rollins what in the fuck are you doing at #14

Delmon Young: 43rd best available player.

You gotta take Y! rankings with a huge grain of salt, of course.

Are yahoo's rankings based on the conventional wisdom of all the mock drafts going on?

I kept thinking someone who didn't play last year would pick up my team just for the chance to get Heyward/McCann/Wainwright(RIP)!

theres surprisingly few players on that list that i like to have a great 2011 season

51. Jeff Weaver
52. Jeff Francoeur
53. Jeff Blauser

i ate 10 tacos next to jeff weaver last night!

draft this sunday, bitches! also: be aware of the daylight savings factor.

Ugh, I have out of state company staying with me all weekend, and plans to "sight see" on Sunday. My fiancée has informed me that skipping out to do "fake baseball crap" will be "the lamest shit ever".

Terrified of having to autodraft. :/

MOVE THE DRAFT

I mean, is there a way to do it so that the autodraft knows your position priorities. Like, if you give it an ordered list of 10 1B, would it pickthe highest available 1B, and then the next round move on to fill another position for me? Or would it keep picking 1B until all 10 on my list were gone?

what you need to do is contract the flu by sunday.

and no - as far as i'm aware the autodraft is still as dumb as a bag of hammers. my only advice (aside from the flu) is to pre-rank like a mo-fo and favour said positions.

and also pray.

This sounds like a case for...

EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA

with the first 5 rounds out of the way it should keep our draft under two hours tho - i don't see why you can't site-see-supervise for part of the day still.

xpost YES

What time is the draft again? (sorry, I'm iphoning and cant check)

erm...

3 pm est. 2 pm if you forget to set your clocks ahead.

i'm at a loss here, does life on Earth as we know it end on New Year's 2012 or directly after New Year's 2011? this is really throwing a wrench into my keeper strategy.

I believe it's sometime during December 2012

"The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012,[1][2][3] which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed."

Z S, if it makes you feel any better, I came out on top of a league with a roster that began 100% auto-drafted, and I've finished second and fourth in THIS league with partially auto-drafted teams and judgments made with little/no thought due to my kids running interference.

I love the "How to Prepare For and What to Do on Draft Day" articles that tell you to go to bed early, take vitamin C, eat fruit, and ask for divine intervention ('cause you surely will be fucked otherwise).

as per my tradition, i plan on getting stoned.

everybody must.

oh, wait...

you have got to be kidding me.

i'm going away this weekend for my one-year anniversary and will miss the draft, which i missed last year because i was getting married.

i pre-ranked last year and all i have are players their own mothers would feel ambivalent about having as their keeper picks.

I remember reading a similar article advising people to stay sober if everybody else was drinking at the (presumably in person) draft. Just lolling at the thought of sitting there alone, intensely shuffling papers while everybody else chills out around you.

I guess when money is involved people take it a little more seriously.

my money league last year was won by my weird astros fan friend who drafted half the astros offense and traded all his decent players away for washed up veterans and dropped Mat Latos at the end of April much to my benefit

so yeah don't play fantasy for money imo

I get to do the draft today, AND I don't have explosive diarrhea! Today's going to be a great day!

I did a mock draft yesterday on yahoo, which was actually sort of fun although probably not very useful.

oh shitty dude - only checked the thread now.

meh i can work w/ these guys - plus i went out and ran some errands i was procrastinating on so ~w/e~ mister yahoo u can suk it

Good luck everyone!

I kinda thought I had a balanced team this year, unlike most years when I end up totally punting a category like SV or NSB and it ends up biting me in the ass, but now I'm looking at my hitters and realized I might be staring a .375 team SLG in the face.

one last time, just to be annoying - if everyone changes their "team slogan" to their ILX name it'll be way easier to track who is who

if you're into that kind of thing
