CBSsports.com Fantasy League Update

PrintRemember when I wrote this? I, uh, forgot that I'm supposed to update the front page of the site with the goings on in the league. But it's interesting when I do it, don't worry.
Also, I should remind you that you can still get 50% off your fantasy league by signing up with CBSsports.com through this referral. It's a good product.
Yeah, that too.
Anyways, I've set the draft for this Thursday, March 25, at 8:00 p.m., PST. Here are the first eleven folks who expressed interest:
Michael Hawk, IV
shahbazi3
MonkeyChow
bondslegend
sfpete
groug grougington
speckops
Graham Crakalaka
beat_la_25
JalaPena
DividedByZero
You're all signed up for the league, and you should have received an e-mail. If the time doesn't work for you, uh, sorry. Let us know, and we'll get an alternate for you.
The scoring is standard, with the one exception that we're using OBP instead of AVG.
HR
OBP
RBI
R
SBERA
W
S
WHIP
K
If you want to get zany, CBSsports.com also lets you pick categories like "hit for cycle" and "catcher's interference", so maybe I'll work those in next year.
It's an NL-only league, but if Albert Pujols is traded to the Royals midseason, he'll still accumulate stats for you.
The positions are C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI, OF, OF, OF, Util., four starting pitchers, and three relievers. The one thing you want to remember, though, is that there are no roster moves after the draft. None. If you think Brad Lidge is on shaky ground, he should move way down on your draft board.]
Comments, suggestions, and thoughts about your recent dreams are welcome....

It looks that the e-mail you have with SBN might be bad. This also goes for speckops, shabazi3, and MonkeyChow. E-mail me at mccoveychronicles@gmail.com, and I’ll put that e-mail address in there.

Michael Hawk the Fourth…I like it. Sounds like a name that can run for office, no?
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
Mike Hawk always has trouble finding a job.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I can see the billboards now...
Mike Hawk will stand up for you.
Mike Hawk hits hard on the issues.
A Vote for Mike Hawk is a Vote for America.
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
But, is America ready for Mike Hawk?

Nobody is ready for Mike Hawk, but that won’t stop them from getting it

This is a money league? Do winners win… money? No roster moves? I’m interested if monetary winning incentives are large enough.

nice!
Here is the most interesting thing to me: In more than two decades of covering ball, I cannot remember a Giants team that played better fundamental baseball day in and day out in the exhibitions.

Can’t wait for the regular season, when every spring training observation besides injuries is deemed entirely irrelevant.

by Useful_Idiot on Mar 24, 2010 1:13 AM PDT up reply actions
Wow. Having just read the rules, there is a very real possibility that a lot of people’s teams will have enough injuries not to meet the minimum in IP or AB. Also, since we’re using OBP, shouldn’t we be going off of PAs?
And I set it so low that it won’t matter if it’s AB or PA.

But where will Frandsen sit in Fresno?
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
yeah, sure, just bag on him cuz he’s a spartan, not an aztec

Haha, no baggin! Just realized he probably won’t get dealt since he didn’t tear it up this Spring, and Downs will probably start there in Fresno. But nonetheless, Aztecs are far superior to Spartans, if you factor out that whole conquistador thing that happened…
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
Ummmm Errr IIIIII Uhhhh
Uh oh.
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
wish we could factor out iraq & afghanistan…and pakistan….

Grant!
Is CBSSports.com a better fantasy manager than Yahoo? Please compare and contrast with 1000 words or more.

Most fun league I’ve played in used standard 5×5, but substituted OBP for AVG and Quality Starts for Winz. For pitchers, it pumps up the value of SPs such that Lincecum is a viable top-three pick, and devalues middle relievers and closers slightly in relation to everyone else, because they can’t pick up cheap wins here and there.
I’m trying to sell buddies on an NL-only WAR-only league, but no one’s biting…
by David A. Arnott on Mar 24, 2010 6:26 AM PDT reply actions
I so could have used QS last year – Lincecum, Cain and Greinke… wins were not as plentiful as I would have liked.
