Hello Everyone,
I hope that you are all doing well and getting through this long, cold and ridiculously snowy winter (at least it has been here in the Northeast).
We had a full league by the end of the 2010 season, so we're not taking on anyone new this year. That is, unless someone is a no-show this year. If you want to go on a Standby List, post in this thread. We will be in touch with people if any spots open.
This is a Keeper Head-To-Head Style Fantasy Baseball League. The 2010 season was our first. While it had its hiccups (LOUSY BYE-WEEKS), everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and stay enthused throughout the entire season.
Having a day off from work today due to hazardous icy conditions, I spent a few hours reviewing last season's thread and made some changes to the league. Here is a list of what I've done:
Draft
Batting
Pitching
Divisions / Playoffs/Schedule
Scoring
What do you think? I'll be launching a new thread on HBT so we have a new one for this season. Please post up in the thread with your intent to participate again this year. If we don't hear from you by the first week of March, we will have to fill your spot with another person.
Also, let's think about all chipping in some cash ($10-20) for the season so the winner walks away with something.

Draft
- Seeded draft positions based on rankings from 2010 season, with the bottom finishers having first draft pick.
- Draft date will be on Sunday, March 13th at 8:15pm EST.
Batting
- Dropped the 1B / 3B and 2B / SS slots. Added a Util. slot.
- How about also dropping the DH and adding a 4th OF?
Pitching
- Dropped one RP slot and added a generic P slot.
Divisions / Playoffs/Schedule
- NO BYE WEEKS!!
- Two Divisions
- 21 Regular Season Matchups
- 6 teams make playoffs
- Playoffs rounds are 1 week rather than two.
Scoring
- Wins stay at 10pts Losses now at -10pts (rather than -5). NH now at 10pts and PG now at 15pts. CG upped to 5pts (from 3pts last year).
- Added Hit Batsmen (-1pts) as we had HBP up there at 1pt.
- Added Pick-off (.5pt) as we had Caught stealing at -.5pts last year.
- Do we want to up the points from 0.7pts to 1pt for every out for pitchers?
