Whose in?

[JQuest15]

I'll try, but also a 1st timer

<-----

[DreamTheater2112]

Welcome aboard then.

[Megiddo]

aren't we still like 2-3 months away?

[VicodinEs]

I'll be up for it, like every year.

As for being early, remember pitchers and catchers will start reporting for spring training in a bout a month or so.

[DreamTheater2112]

The league starts up in about a week. Draft should be in about 2 months. I just wanna start getting stuff organized

[Megiddo]

I still don't know who is going to play first base for the Cubs

[Suikotsu]

Bout time.

[DreamTheater2112]

Inorite! Can't wait for the season to start ~_~

[DreamTheater2112]

I would hope you'd know by the time we're actually gonna draft

[Suikotsu]

Furcal
Craig
Holliday
Berkman
Beltran
Freese
Molina
Schumaker
Pitcher

Carpenter
Wainwright
Oswalt
Garcia
Lohse

This should be interesting. Potential to either be incredible or fail miserably.

[Megiddo]

I think y'all should dump Freese and get some 30+ veteran guy. You don't seem to have enough of them.

EDIT: wait, who the hell is craig?

[Suikotsu]

Youth? Pfft. We don't need no stinkin' youth.

Allen Craig, the guy that hit both the winning HR and caught the last out of the World Series.

[Megiddo]

That's cute that you think I watched the World Series.

Campana
Baker/Barney
Castro
DeWitt/Stewart/LaHair/Vitters
Byrd
Soriano
Soto
Rizzo?
Pitcher

Oh yeah, batting our 1st basemen 8th, like a boss. There's always next year.

[Suikotsu]

My bad, I forgot Cubs fans stop following baseball after May.

That's what they always say. Who knows, maybe Theo can right the ship. He just needs to keep throwing dead weight overboard. If he can get rid of Alfonso, I'll consider him one of the best GM's Chicago's ever had.

[Megiddo]

You say dead weight, but we got rid of two of our best pitchers and got practically nothing in return (referring to Marshall and Cashner)

[RandAlThor13]

So does this require a large knowledge of baseball and a major time commitment, or could I go into it as a total noob for the lol's and not waste a lot of time I don't have?

[Megiddo]

It depends. If you want to micromanage your team then it would take a lot of time. But if you just pick players that you know are going to play near every day then it wouldn't be all that much. Knowing the basic stats of baseball would be useful as well since those stats are what determines who wins a match or not.

[RandAlThor13]

I haven't played legit baseball outside of PE class in about 10 years, so I remember nothing.  How much more complex is it than just seeing how many runs each player on your team gets?

[Megiddo]

Pitcher Wins, Pitcher Losses, Earned Run Average, Strikeouts, Walks/Hits per Inning Pitched, Saves, Batting Average, Runs, Runs Batted In, Home Runs, OPS (On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage), Fielding Percentage plus 1 or 2 more that I missed most likely.

None of them are all that hard to understand, and I imagine if you just auto-draft then you don't even need to worry at all.

[conanwong]

sign me up.

[DreamTheater2112]

This isn't directed at anyone, but after the fail that was last year...Seriously if you're gonna sign up A). Show up to the draft. Srsly. B). Actually be somewhat committed to seeing it through and managing your team on a daily/weekly basis.

[faye_worshipper69v2]

I think I'll sit out this year lol

[Suikotsu]

LOL

[RandAlThor13]

They should have made a baseball card of that bird that got hit by a pitch back in the late 90's/early 00's.  My friends dad happened to be watching that game while I was at their house and I saw it; it was epic.
