I Heart Mets Fantasy League

ojayc's picture

Hey guys, sorry if somebody else has already organized this for 2010 but I thought it would be cool to get a fantasy league happening among visitors to this site. I think somebody else did this a couple of years ago but at that time I didn't join the league because my twin daughters had just been born.  Way too busy! I would be more than happy to set up a league on Yahoo but would like a deep league, at least 12 teams. If you are interested, please reply to this post and if there is enough interest I will set up a league and draft time.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply mattroy. Hopefully we can get another 10 people on board. Maybe when Rob does his next podcast, he can put out a shout for us ;-)

I'm in.

I would enjoy another league.   I would be willing to provide the trophy (with one of my sketches).

League is set up

Firstly, thanks for the shout  Rob on yesterday's podcast. I've set up a league on yahoo, roto with standard scoring categories. I really would like at least 12 teams as a deeper league encourages trades. I set the ceiling at 16 teams so ask your friends who are Mets fans to jump on board.

I have reserved Monday night, March 29 8:00pm Eastern (New York time) for the draft. I figured most people are home on a Monday night. Of course, the time is negotiable if it's inconvenient for some.

Go to Yahoo Fantasy Baseball and enter below details to join the league or click on the link.

Great job on setting up the league. I have joined and have made a note of the draft.

I don't think I can be on time for the draft, but I will set up an autodraft order and try to join when I can.

Nice work

OK good to see more people get on board. The league I'm currently in and play in year in year out is full of Yankees and Bosox fans so you can imagine the reaction I get when I try to talk Mets baseball. Should be good to get some Mets chat going in this league. Would like to see some more people join up and the draft is one of the high points of the season. It's a lot of  fun chatting and doing the analysis during the picks. The one day of the year where we can all be experts ;-) ha ha!

OK lets get some more folks who visit this site signed up. Even if you cant make the draft and need to autopick, we'd love to see you join our league.

I've joined

I've joined but I can't make the draft because I live in England and the draft time is too late for me.

Picking Up Players

It looks like the league will "auto pick" the players for you. Not the best way to start but better than nothing.

Fantasy Draft - 1 week to go

OK, just 1 week to go to register your team before the draft. Many thanks to the guys who have already joined. As I write this we currently have 6 teams registered but we do need more teams for this league to get up and running. To register, please click on the link above and join up. It takes about 2 minutes to register. Even if you can't join the live draft and have to auto-pick, there will be plenty of chances to trade and pick up sleepers during the season. Hope to see some more teams join our Mets league soon!

Fantasy League - will we or won't we?

Hey guys, with only 2 days to go until draft day and only 6 teams registered, it's simply not possible to have a credible league using a mixed league format. It's just too easy picking up studs on the waiver wire. I've now changed it to an NL-only format which shrinks the talent pool and is more suitable for a smaller league such as this. To be honest, I really only ever watch NL games for the obvious reasons and my lack of knowledge of AL players usually kills me in the mixed format.

Now this might not suit some so if any of you guys feel strongly against playing in an NL-league format, let me know and we can scrap the whole idea. Please let me know ASAP, otherwise see you on draft day.

And please, any other Mets fans out there who still would like to register, you've still got 2 days to register your team before draft day. We really need some extra people so please join up.

In For The NL Format

It works for me for much the same reason. I don't follow the AL too closely. Looks like I'm the only one in the live draft right now. Check that, one other person is in there.

OK, sorry we couldn't get

OK, sorry we couldn't get this going, thanks for trying.

Well, we gave it a shot

Thanks for the teams that registered but come draft time, we actually regressed to only 5 teams so couldn't really start a credible league. Thanks to those who tried anyway and especially to "Shea it aint So" who showed up for the draft.

That's Too Bad

Hey, I'm in the draft! It's too bad we couldn't get it going.

well my team looks like a bunch of studs considering there were only five teams drafting. I'm willing to play the season out if others are.

I'm going to keep up with it

I'm going to keep up with it just for fun.

Hey Rob

Sorry I missed you. I logged out about 5 or 10 mins before the draft. It's a pretty small league but I guess we can see how it goes. The worst I can do is finish 5th which will make a nice change from my last couple of seasons!
