2012 HBT Fantasy Baseball

[Guidry]

WOW! Very strange happening for the Bayou Brewers yesterday. According to the stat report I received, every single one of my starters (batter) had exactly 0 pts with ZERO (0) at bats. Haven't had a chance to check actual box scores but that sounds very odd that not one of my starters played, doesn't it? Anyone else ever had that happen?

 

[bosdave]

Well as the beneficiary of said occurrence, allow me to explain what happened.

It appears that the game limits (64 for position players, 12 starts) only apply through Saturdays. You had reached your 64 games played by the end of Saturday and therefore none of your field players were able to accrue points on Sunday. Had you had 63 starts you would have been fine. I was able to reach 72 games played, at least I think so.

Word to the wise, on Fridays check your games played log and make sure you don't go to, or over, the max before Sundays.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to deal an OF or 1B. I have:

Angel Pagan
Yoenis Coespedes
Hunter Pence
Alfonso Soriano
Adrian Gonzalez
Cody Ross

I'm looking for SP. doesn't have to be Ace quality, but halfway decent. 1st half over achievers / regression prone players welcome. Hit me up.

 

[JohnnyO]

Hey FreshZ, just sent you a possible trade. Let me know what you think, if I'm in the ballpark, or if you have any other ideas.

 

[MMTG]

AL getting Creamed in the All Star game, love it! Also, I'm looking for a quality bat...anyone interested in getting a SP?

Heyward for Bumgarner.

 

[MMTG]

Heyward for Bumgarner.

Hmmm....Thanks but no thanks.

 

[bosdave]

Wanted: Quality SP

Offering: Hitter, preferably an OF, perhaps a SP + hitter in return.

Note: I certainly don't believe in untouchables, but if you ask for Trout be prepared for a significant cost.

So I'm winning a little bit, but not moving up. Are there playoffs in this league? How do you qualify?

Is there a prize for winning? Like all the other players have to give up their best recipe or tip?

 

[bosdave]

There are playoffs. It looks like the top 3 teams from each division go to the playoffs.

As far as I know there is no prize for winning.

As for not moving up, well there are 9 weeks left including this one. There is time!

[JohnnyO]

Hey everyone. I have not had time to keep up with some of the league management aspects, such as the weekly trophies. I'm blocked at work from both ESPN and HBT, so I can only access through my mobile phone. Add to it a young child at home and that makes for little to no time to access and run things. I'm keeping up with my team though, and it seems like we have some good races toward the playoffs. Good luck everyone.

If I don't get more access/time by the end of winter, I'm going to look to have someone else run the league if anyone would be interested. Othon was interested last year, but he hasn't had much time to be involved, same as me.

Hope y'all are enjoying the league.

 

[bosdave]

I know that I am a new guy, but I would be willing to help in any way short of running the league entirely.

And now for something entirely different...

Who wants a top notch closer and/or second baseman?

I am interested in trading Joel Hanrahan and/or Aaron Hill for starting pitching.

 

[Guidry]

BosSave,

I accepted your trade this morning but I don't see any record of it. My app said "trade accepted" but the proposed trade notice would not disappear. Let me know if you got notice that I accepted it. If not, propose it again and I'll try again.

 

[JohnnyO]

I think that there is a two day review period before any accepted trade gets finalized. This gives other teams an opportunity to contest if they feel it's an unfair trade.

 

[bosdave]

There is a two day review period, however this one got lost in the interwebs...

I will resend what I think it was Guidry, I sent out a lot so if I send the wrong one just decline and counter with the right one.

Johnny,

I didn't want to step on your toes as Assistant LM...I figured you would delegate tasks to me. I will take a look at the League manager settings and try and get all the weekly trophies caught up by the end of this week.

 

[MMTG]

I got all the scores calculated and am adding trophies right now.

 

[MMTG]

All done. All trophies are current. Good luck as the playoffs approach

 

[JohnnyO]

No worries, Othon. Thanks for your help with the trophies. Hope all is well with you. Hopefully we''ll both have more time next season.

 

[JohnnyO]

Congrats to Adam and the PEI Yankees on the league championship.

 

[PEIYankees]

Thanks, JohnnyO, the PEI Yankees had an up and down season, and just had everything go right at the right time. Now if the New York Yankees just have the same finish, this will be a perfect baseball year.

I am already looking forward to next years fantasy baseball, presuming others wish to play again.

 

[HoppyDaze]

How did the guy who took over my team do? He had the tripple crown winner at least...

 

[bosdave]

I will definitely be playing again next year! It was a blast!

I kind of dropped off in terms of time spent at the end of the year, as I was getting married (actually this past weekend). Won't have those same issues next year!

Congratulations on the marriage! Enjoy the ride.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to contribute more next year to the league as well as on the HBT thread. In past years, we had some good smacktalk and sidebets go on. It adds to the season.

Feedback on the league? Scoring issues from this past season? If anyone has thoughts, post them up. We can adjust league settings if there is some consensus of issues. I'll be doing a check in sometime in February around teh time that pitchers and catchers report to see if we have anyone who doesn't want to play again and open it up to new members.

To my understanding, we didn't have anyone complete;y neglect their team this year.

 

[jump_xiii]

Thanks guys for letting me join in this season. It was my first time doing a fantasy team, so I fumbled my way through and am quite happy with my results. I think I did a more respectable job than Bobby V and my Red Sox!

I wasn't able to dedicate too much time to it, but just enough I think, so if it's ok with you guys I'd love to stick around next season.

[bosoxdave]

It is winter and I am depressed. Can't wait for the new season to start.

In true Bosdave fashion...anyone want to make a trade for keepers?

Hear that, Dave!

Pitchers and catchers report in a month though. What do you want for Trout?

 

[bosoxdave]

Literally the only untouchable for me...right now.

I can't part with him before draft due to number of keeper restrictions.
