Hey I am interest in getting involved in this next season to help fill the void left by the NFL.

Only problem only watched a handfull of Baseball games before so will it be impossible to take part without watching a full season first and getting a grips on players and stats etc or is it something I will be able to pick up as I go along and maybe be kind of competitive with an autodraft?

All are welcome and I guarantee you'll beat me :)

I think we might have two divisions this year, depending upon numbers, and start a whole relegation/promotion thing.

It'll also spread the love!

How about a fantasy league for people that want to get into the sport or for newbies to the game. May not be enough people intrested but would be fun, with no massive dissadvantage to us, that no nothing.

Uncle O, will you be running the Auction one this year too? If not I am more than happy to run it. Havent seen Ja for quite some time so no idea if hes coming back.

Im incredibly trustworthy. Ask Ross, he lent me his Exact replica Brodie Croyle ** for 'educational purposes' and i returned it 'unused' :|

Yeah, that's it, tease an old man until his nurse has to calm him down by hooking him up to the national grid.

Just to clarify:

1. The fantasy baseball sign up lists will go up at the end of this month.

2. Last year's league will be restarted with the same members - except for Ja, who tragically has no internet access.

3. There will be a newbies' league, if enough people want to have a go at fantasy baseball. Entry will be free.


4. Any or all of these plans may go wrong, not happen, or be altered, at any time and for any reason, but particularly if MTO doesn't stop sending me the 'specialist' videos he makes. 'The Bride and the Burro' .... I mean, WTF?!!

Finally, and I realise this is kind of taking the whole 'Uncle O' thing a bit far, but might I suggest that any fantasy leagues that are set up use me as banker from now on? I am used to collecting/distributing the prizes and, most crucially, do so in the same calendar year as the FREAKIN' COMPETITION ENDS!

Besides, I've been called a banker enough times on the forum :p

Newbie league can't be free surely, will beto easy to get bored of it and not stay involved all season got to be worth at least a cheeky £10 each!

Banker orioles are you sure? ive heard you called something that rymes with banker a few times.
I agree a cheeky 10er should be thrown into the newbie league. But it looks like it could be a h2h with me and buckio right now.

As I have still not heard from the erstwhile Auction commish, I am going to assume that the 4th prize in that league was just a figment of my imagination.

My 'friend' Yawnef would like to join the newbie league, I can see that the competition is likely to be very stiff.

I'd play in the newb league but I'll have somewhat limited internet for the next 2 months. I suspect that would have some implications on signup and drafting but I'll try and have a sneaky look at the forum when I manage to stumble onto the world wide web!

Gutted if I can't make it in to beat ross though :(
