It has to be 10 or 12. Eight is lame.

I think we should wait another weekend though anyways. Let's let more of spring training shake out before we draft.

I'm still down whenever you want ATL, just pm me when you set a time.

asdf1223 · 03-17-2012, 05:26 AM

I'm interested in the league as well. I'm kind of a noob though.

Hines · 03-17-2012, 01:41 PM

I had a fantasy draft last night in which I couldn't attend. I got offered Hanrahan for Mariano. Should I do it?

It's cool. So you'd be 9 I believe. Let's try for 3 more, but we could settle for 10.

And TBW, I'm hoping for next Saturday/Sunday.

No.

Hines · 03-17-2012, 03:12 PM

I'm interested in said fantasy league.

ATLDirtyBirds · 03-17-2012, 03:14 PM

Good ****. Two more and we can start discussing times.

Notredameleo · 03-17-2012, 04:36 PM

I'm in.........

Notredameleo · 03-19-2012, 12:51 PM

miguel cabrera just took a nasty bounced ball right to the eye. Had to leave the game. Lots of blood.

It's true. The ball was smoked and hit the lip of the grass and took a bad hop.

Cabrera's sunglasses probably saved major damage. The glasses caused the blood is the speculation.

He's been taken to a hospital for switches and an x-ray.

Sounds like it's a toss up between Broxton and Greg Holland, right now.

Right. I ask because I guessed and took Holland for my fantasy team given the choice of both.

fenikz · 03-19-2012, 09:05 PM

Skaggs struck out 5 in 3 innings yesterday :)

between this news and the Sal Perez news this has been a crappy Spring Training so far

Xiomera · 03-19-2012, 09:45 PM

At least Eric Hosmer didn't take a ball to the face today ....

Yea, that's why I took Holland in BF's league. They haven't said anything yet though as to who it's gonna be, and there's plenty of speculation from experts on twitter on either side right now. Some are saying Broxton due to having experience in that role, and others are saying Holland since Broxton bombed last year in LAD, and Holland was DAMN good last year.

Thought it means little, Holland has been excellent this spring so far too.

ATLDirtyBirds · 03-20-2012, 09:56 AM

So our 12 team Yahoo League has it's participants.

1. ATL
2. Maninblack
3. Deep
4. TBW
5. Brodeur
6. Xio
7. Irish
8. Docta
9. DUnit
10. Asdf
11. Hines
12. Notredame

Hawkeye123 is interested if we need a replacement/want to continue to expand.

So, here's what we need now:

1. Confirmation of interest
2. H2H or Rotissere? (My vote is for H2H)
3. Time Set Up for this weekend (Saturday afternoon/early night and Sunday evening night work for me)

Hines · 03-20-2012, 10:10 AM

I'm still interested. H2H is fine. I work Saturday night, so Sunday is good for me unless I get called in.
