9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

Almost everyone wanted two divisions, so that's what it'll be. Went with Eastern and Western-themed division names. Tried my best to get everyone in the right divisions, but couldn't place all the team names on the Yahoo site with the nicknames on this thread. If you'd like to be moved, let me know. If there's more Western folks than Eastern (and I have a feeling there are), then I'll just change the division names to something more generic and leave them the way they are now.

Reminder: draft is Monday, 10 p.m. EST. Pre-rank players if you can't be there live.

Creampuffs should be a Western team, but if I have to stay in the East again this year I will. Eastern teams aren't very good. ;)
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

I (Inebriated Tigers) would probably fit more in with the Western division, but it's not a big deal. I'm also contemplating a name change, but I'm not sure what yet. We can change it throughout the season right (or at least within the first month)?
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

Draft is tomorrow night. Are most people expecting to be there?

I think last year we had a decent number of members live drafting. Made it more fun.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

I will try to be there, but I'll be on the road for work, I'm hoping I can logon from the hotel room.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

T-minus 24 hours. Draft turnout has been solid for the last few years. Hope it's the same.

Looks like we have a 10:6 ratio of Western to Eastern owners (I think), so I'm leaving the divisions as they are now. Any suggestions for new division names? Or should we keep the status quo. Not feeling particularly creative at the moment.

Depending on how awake I am, I'll be there. I've pre-ranked my players just to be safe.

And I'm okay where I'm at.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

I'll probably be there for the first few rounds, not too sure how much after that. Did Sports Illustrated put out a fantasy baseball preview, or do they not do that anymore? I don't remember getting one this year.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

I will be there tonight, but might be a little late. Players are pre ranked so it should just carry on until I show up. Hopefully I'll be back in time, but going out to eat for work now, not likely i will be back to the hotel by 9.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

I'm actually gonna let the pre-rank do its thing because whenever I've actively participated in a fantasy draft I've picked crap. I trust myself more making moves once the draft occurs.

Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

Well, that didn't work. Apparently Yahoo's draft window doesn't work on my work laptop. Oh well, I guess I get whatever I get. I hope my pre-draft rankings work out :p

I see I got the first pick, so I'm pretty sure who my first baseman will be.
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

Despite picking 9 of 16 I feel better than I thought I would about my opening day squad.

Howie Kendrick (LAA - 1B,2B)
Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 3B)
Alcides Escobar (KC - SS)
Carlos González (Col - OF)
Carlos Lee (Hou - 1B,OF)
Michael Cuddyer (Min - 1B,3B,OF)
Jason Kubel (Min - OF)
Raúl Ibañez (Phi - OF)
Omar Infante (Fla - 2B,3B,SS,OF)
Will Venable (SD - OF)

Josh Johnson (Fla - SP)
Dan Haren (LAA - SP)
Joakim Soria (KC - RP)
Luke Gregerson (SD - RP)
Trevor Cahill (Oak - SP)
Ervin Santana (LAA - SP)
Matt Guerrier (LAD - RP)
A.J. Burnett (NYY - SP)

Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

After figuring out that I had to autohide my taskbar to chat and hide drafted players, I was okay. Took quite a few chances, too lazy/unmotivated to post my team now, but it's quite a bit different than my other league, for reasons that are the same, and for reasons that are similar (other league only had 12 teams, MN-centric).
 
Re: 9th annual USCHO Fantasy Baseball League

doh, I forgot to check my team before work this morning. I'm guessing I didn't get Mauer, since I picked 8th.
