BBB Fantasy League(s)

PrintQuestions for BBB fantasy leaguers and interested BBB members
This is for everyone
1) Are there open teams for the existing league?
2) If we form a new league or two. What are the rules/format?
I'd prefer a running total format than head to head only because setting daily lineups is a pain.
Trades?
What will we use? Counting stats or Sabr stuff
3) Who would be the Bud, um, commissioner?
4) Do we need a trophy for the best (and possibly the worst) team? As much as I like the names Shiva and Sacko, I don't think they would be used.

There's a BBB keeper league that masterkembo runs
not sure if there are any openings. I’d be open for a new league though, preferably keeper, auction draft, and H2H, but I’m fine with roto.
His 2011 wRC+ is 26
Yep
Yahoo started auction drafting last year. Was pretty fun, especially the options to go in and practice before your actual draft.
I’d love to start a keeper league if any of you guys are interested, it’d be more fun with people who are regulars here.

I usually play a public league on Yahoo, but I’ve been looking to joining a keeper league for a while now.
There She Gooooooes!
yep
i’m definitely down to join a new league
i’d prefer rotisserie but head to heads good too
i’ve always done a regular draft but i’d be willing to try auction
I am the Walrus
I'd be up for joining a new one too
I’d also be happy to commish it.

I'd love to join a BBB fantasy league
never played fantasy baseball though, gonna have to learn fast
Yahoo has a very good auction format as well
Thats where i do most of my fantasy sports. I think we should do a 20 team league, but id be down for anything, id just want to be apart of it ;)
Count me in.
I’d prefer a yahoo league if only because of the mobile app. I rarely use a computer at home, just my phone. I also prefer regular stats because I don’t understand metrics well enough.

If theres an extra spot I'd be happy to join as well
I tweet some @HouseOfTheBB
And I write some HouseOfTheBluebird.com
I thoroughly enjoyed last years league
If that does not continue / even if it does, I’m down for this league as well.

Yahoo is good and we can create private leagues. I believe they give the option of turning into a keeper league. CBS Sportsline Commish is really neat also, but you have to pay for it. You get what you pay for, with Yahoo being free. CBS gives you a lot of customization.
Fantasy Baseball is my crack. So I guess the first step would be, do we want to join a free league, or are we willing to pay money to have more features?
Im down
You really cant go wrong with yahoo leagues, been using it for a few years and its always been my top site for fantasy sports. Id prefer a head 2 head league, but it really doesn’t matter to me
I will
I would like another yahoo league to play
So guys
Someone just announce they are making a league, post here ask for emails
Once one league fills up, someone start a new one. Someone just needs to actually start one to get the ball rolling
Also, rec this fanpost so it stays at the top for 2 weeks.
+1 is only good if you actually rec the post
Done
Question for you (or anyone else really, but you tend to be on the ball with this stuff): Is there any reason that I’m not seeing any of the Recent FanPosts on the sidebar? All I can see are the Rec’d ones.

I was going to wait until registration opens tomorrow, but I guess I can do it now...
HEAR YE, HEAR YE!
Let it be known across the empire that tomorrow, on the first day of the fifth month of the third year of the Χρυσόν Γένος της Ανθοπουλος, I will be setting up a 20 team, auction draft Yahoo(!) pool.
Reply to the first reply to this comment with your email address to reserve your spot (or, if you don’t want to put it out in the interwebs, just reply saying that you want in, and I’ll post the league ID and password once I’ve created it).
Reply to the next reply to this comment to argue about stat categories, roto vs H2H, and anything else that people like to yell about.

You can mail me through SBNation, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
I won the first BBB fantasy league and reached the playoffs in last year’s edition, so if I continue the trend I’ll probably be a middling team this year. :p

My rule on fantasy sports drafting
Go with your head not with your heart. That’s why I generally won’t draft hometown guys.

Sorry
You’re number 21.
Fret not though, I’m sure 1) someone will drop out, and 2) someone else will make another pool.
If you want to bank on someone dropping out, head on over to the other thread.

Do you have a young, talented cost controlled player having a down year who's "attitude" has cased problems with an aging player or manager?
Don't worry, I Alex Anthopoulos will take him off your hands, I'll even give you some moderately useful veterans that will "help you make a playoff run".
head to head sucks
Just go for whoever collects the most points!

Nah, we gotta go head to head.
Just picture it… it is week 23, and Woodman663 and I are going head to head. The Jays are in Detroit, and while I have Cabrera in my lineup, Woody has got Fielder. On top of all the awesome bluebirdesk banter that would normally be in a game thread, there would be some extra little threads every game between the players facing off. Everytime Cabrera strikes out, Woodman would let me have it, and everytime Fielder failed, I would be all up in his grill.
We gotta go head to head!
There She Gooooooes!
Head to head is more compelling
But roto is better for establishing you put together the best team. The last league I was in with head-to-head, I won the regular season by getting really lucky in H2H matchups, since when I aggregated the stats to settle an argument I was actually middle of the pack
I prefer H2H, but Roto would be fine with me because I haven’t tried that yet.
I’d also prefer regular draft over auction draft, and live draft.
"They had players who had more hair on their backs than on their heads. Obviously they have more experience," Thomas Müller of Bayern Munich after losing against Inter Milan.
I'd prefer roto with trades.

How about someone make another league with either H2H or Roto
so you can choose whatever you want

I’d like to do H2H. ebs2876@yahoo.com
Room for only one more person
Once we’re at 20, we’ll migrate to a new FanPost (I tried using a FanShot, but it apparently doesn’t allow any formatting of any sort (even line breaks)) to a) vote on rules officially, and b) get out of everyone else’s way.
