Depends on if you have players you want to keep. It’s all about getting who you value and adding to the rookies. I recommend trying it. It is a roster crunch if 10 teams to add 2 rookies you have to drop 2 players.

The old names didn’t carry over, because this is essentially a newly formed league, rather than a renewal of last years.

Re: CT Fantasy Baseball - Interested?
An slight update to the league format, which it seems I haven’t posted here yet…
We’re keeping the rosters at 26, w the same active roster spots, with one minor change - two of the general ‘P’ spots have converted to ‘RP’ spots. This will allow us to search the player pool for RPs only, which was not possible last year.
Shakes out like this -
C
1B
2B
3B
SS
OF
OF

UT
UT
UT
SP

RP

P
P

BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
Currently there are 4x IL, 1x NA but this may change. There’s a poll in the chat channel with alternate options.

Although I suspect I know what the result is going to be, can you put up a poll with the swap OBP for AVG proposal (or some other, more involved version of that which you may have considered)?Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑28 Feb 2025 21:52 pm Currently there are 4x IL, 1x NA but this may change.

Re: CT Fantasy Baseball - Interested?
So 11 hitters and 10 pitchers on active roster?

Re: CT Fantasy Baseball - Interested?
That’s the present format. I suppose it seems unbalanced, but the only balance that matters is in the scoring categories.

I think I may have been in the league you’re referencing, but I quit after a year or two. Or maybe it was a different league, but it was set up through these forums.

There was a minor league system where you’d pick five guys and someone would keep a spreadsheet. When they got called up, you would add them to your roster.
To be honest, the league really was irritating, and mainly that was a lot of the managers in it. They’d want to email back-and-forth about trades all day. you’d finally get something set up and then they would back out. One time, I remember a guy backed out, and not even officially. He just stopped responding. Then one of his players got hurt a few days later. After that, was emailing me, frantically asking, can we still do the trade? Really frustrating. After those interactions I was like F this, I’m out. I also won first place the inaugural year, so that was kind of cool.

I could definitely see that being frustrating. This guy was kind of a stats loon… was rattling off all kinds of numbers from the top of his head. Reminded me a little of myself, 20 years ago. Quickly realized I wanted him to stop talking, and that I must have been extremely obnoxious 20 years agoDJ Davis wrote: ↑02 Mar 2025 11:29 amI think I may have been in the league you’re referencing, but I quit after a year or two.
