WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted January 28, 2020 We need a replacement owner for the Tigers. shotsup was a good owner for the Mets before he vanished prior to last year. He has since returned to the geek club and explained his absence. I can check if he is interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,288 Posted February 2, 2020 Nice. If not, maybe posty would be willing to reprise his Nats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted February 4, 2020 Sorry guys but I am going to pass. Really liked this league and all it’s owners but I don’t want to end up lame down the stretch. Thanks for the offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,288 Posted February 7, 2020 But the Mets and the O's share, like, zero players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 10, 2020 You wanna jump back in, posty? Would be nice to have someone with a brain after what we went through last year and probably easier than finding a newbie. Was hoping shotsup would come back as he was a solid owner but I understand his reasonings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 10, 2020 I think that would be fairly ideal. I’ll keep bumping the recruitment thread but I dont think any of us want a sketchy owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 768 Posted February 11, 2020 Nats are fine, I'm certainly not in favor of adding a couple other available teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 11, 2020 I think it’s the best plan. A solid owner who won’t disappear or be a baby. I think aside from 2018 we have had an absentee owner issue each of the past few years. plus I’m not getting any traction in the recruitment thread. last year we rolled for draft order in 2 weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If no one steps up by next Monday the 17th, I will take the spot... That should give any interested parties that might be wavering some time... Sound like a plan?

posty 2,311 Posted February 11, 2020 Also, I think I have 13 of the 14 owners: ATL - Burt BAL - Mookz BOS - bbascom CHC - ??? CLE - ZeroTolerance HOU - 29 Guests KC - cmh6476 LAA - BlackClouds LAD - gratefulted STL - lambert58 TB - WhiteWonder TEX - Jim Mora TOR - GuardBum WAS - posty Who is running the Cubs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 11, 2020 My brother runs the cubs for.... I think this will be his 3rd season? In 2017 I think someone brought in a friend to run the cubs and they vanished mid season. Or maybe it was a member. I specifically recall you popping in to yell at them for not rostering DJ Lam. so I asked my brother if he wanted to take over the team for the rest of that year. He’s actually a Mets fan. I know he thought about switching last season when we had no Mets owner. I should ask him again. either way his handle is Dcb291 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 11, 2020 Good lord I feel like the owner of the Tampa Diego Pad Rays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted February 11, 2020 WW if your brother wants to swap to the Mets this would be the time. Or anyone looking to swap really. I'm all for switching to another platform like ESPn if we all want to. I could care less but I work day shift and we do have all the history in our Yahoo league. Let's just have the discussion and make the call. I've started a new job, in a new state, in a new timezone so their will be adjustment but right "NOW" I mostly have time. Until my permissions hit and the workload starts coming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 11, 2020 Okay well 1. I asked him and he says he’s sticking with the Cubs due to having research already done (Spreadsheet and such) and he doesn’t mind them. 2 . I’ve gotten used to Yahoo. I’d prefer to stick where we have the league history. I have not noticed any issues since we started allowing same day add-drops 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted February 13, 2020 Roll dem bones this is probably my favorite fantasy league because of the draft and strategy involved. Love this shiit. And I’m only in two fantasy baseball leagues. No basketball and like 11 football and this might be more fun for me than even my football leagues. Maybe because it’s a lot more challenging for me to take a small market team and the constraints I have in my talent pool versus having an entire nfl talent pool to choose from.

GuardBum 73 Posted February 14, 2020 I remember we tried this one year with football and it just wasnt good. Too little FA movement to make it work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could never work. Like you said, too little movement and combined with careers being shorter for all but QBs and maybe the biggest factor is the lack of non counting statistical categories and role players. in baseball you can win a week with a role player helping your era or whip. You won’t really get much from having the 4th WR on a team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
