I thought this was a thread about Dogging :(.

Rather excited bout the baseball season now Z! Oh the frustrations of seeing your no1 pick go 0-4 at the plate, the joys of vulturing wins. But most of all, you me and Orioles, cuddled up on the sofa watching ESPN. Laughing as Daves draft software proves to be, yet again, "proper wank". The contrasting wafts of Daves perfume and your aftershave! I love Sundays!!

Just reread the above. IM not gay i swear Plain

I was excited too, and for all the same reasons, except I thought it said 'water sports' :(

I thought it was a thread about Naked Custard Wrestling, so I purchased the relevant draft software from a company called Seloiro.

Got some MLB draft stuff as a freebie. It's useless.

Depends on how many keepers, I like the idea of building a minors system to help in the future.

Dynasty is forever and doesn't re-draft, keeper re-drafts each year, less the 'kept' players.

The chap who drafted Jamie Moyer in the 1982 Dynasty League must be the last man standing.

Please do not use unkind words Beaniash, this is a friendly forum.

I was part of a dynasty league for a couple of years but it ended up being scrapped as only half the managers were active on a regular basis - suppose a keeper doesnt need such active management but you would want managers who are in it for the long run and will actively manager their team over a season

On reflection, and following a discussion with my wife that ended with, "The American football fantasy thing has only just finished and you're already talking about baseball? Take that Orioles shirt off the dog, it was weird enough calling him Ripken you idiot and no, the children wouldn't look good in matching batting helmets"

A carefully put together keeper league would be my preference.

As an added incentive, each year's winner could accompany me to the Orioles Dream Week in Florida.

Nice Happy

yes i'd doubt more than a couple on here have much of a clue past the major league, i know i'm guessing past about round 8 in drafts Grin

Dave. Would that winner be staying in the same hotel, room, bed, pants as yourself?

I would be up for a keeper league. Dont really like the idea of a dynasty as i love drafting.

Is it time to start yet? Im literally ****-a-hoop about the thought of baseball starting.

Time to read Fantasyland by Sam Walker again........

I am not sure I can cope with more than three leagues in one year, but I will consider entering.

I would love us lot to do a dynasty league ....it would need a bit of committment on all our parts but there should be enough of us who play to the end to make up league ...

I take part in a deep dynasty league (open invite on this forum from Colo Colo(Stefan)5 years ago) 20 teams with an active roster of 24 and 5 reserves ...can carry a maximum of 5 FK's or Minor Leaguers ...each player is given salary based on its relative value last season ...allowed to keep 13-14 players under $184, 12 under $198 and 11 under $212 ...highest value player last year was about $45 (Kemp) ...a team who did poorly last season will be able to take on salary ...a team who did well will likely have to dump salary ...so in this scenario you might have Kemp being traded for say Bryce Harper and a 2nd round pick prior to the roster cutdown date ...then a snake draft ...lots of inseason trading of players and picks for next years draft ...modest entry fee of$60 and $2 per transaction thereafter ...

It would be great if us lot committed to something on these lines

When: 19 Feb 12 21:55
Lol you were invited ...I believe there may be a vacancy for this year ...someone recently dropped out ...give it a go then perhaps next year we can start a UK based dynasty league ...the disciples will follow you Oh Jehovah

...alternatively how about you become my co-owner ...on an advisory basis... then you can dip in thru the season without your time being taken up.

Too late now ... I'm in a huff.

As for a barrister playing second fiddle to a solicitor, well, thank goodness I'm strapped into this commode! Silly

I think dynasty/keeper is a runner, though.
