@Joe B: The scoring is based on total points earned multiplied by a league competitiveness index. So teams in more competitive leagues (e.g., more total points in the league) will be boosted up while those in less competitive leagues will be adjusted down. Based on last year, this adjustment tends to be minor. Please e-mail me at rudy@razzball.com if you would like to participate.

I resent the invite. Hope that does the trick. If not, I’ll send a new invite for another league.

Yeah, I’ve tried every which way. It’s kind of weird. I’ve never had anything like this happen before. Maybe try another invite.

@AdamH: Hmm. I think Yahoo sends two links in the e-mail – try the first one. I just checked to make sure I didn’t overbook your league (Razzball 9) and I haven’t.

let me know if you need me to send another invite…

@Rudy Gamble: Is anyone else having trouble getting in? The yahoo site keeps sending me in circles i.e. League ID/Password page, then create your team, then it sends me back to League ID/Password, then... well, you get the idea. It might just be this clunker i'm using.

Status report: We’ve got 8 full commenter leagues now (if you’ve e-mailed me by 1:45PM EST on Tuesday, you should have a league invite) and well on our way to filling in our first blogger league.

League signup is still open….

@Keith: Eh, it's okay. You upgraded, which is good, but you gave the other team a decent haul.

I thought that answer was way too obvious.

So I just moved Youkilis and Victorino for Zimmerman. My friends ripped me for making the move. What do you think?

Now my team stands

McCann
Votto
Stewart
Zimmerman
Braun
Lind
Upton, BJ (who should become Reyes soon)
and my 8th spot will either by Wandy, Blanks or a player TBNL.

@Pirate Jesus: Oh, Jotge, always tryign to sneak in there. Thanks for the heads up!

@Grey: Not sure if someone else has pointed this out already… sorry if you’re already aware of it. Did a search on an imported version of your Top 300 spreadsheet for Jorge Cantu, came up with Jotge Cantu at #252.

@Keith: your handle is 'Keith'. it's just a way so that we can connect the results to people's comments. More fun that way...

@Keith: The name you go on site. In your case, Keith.

What is the commenter handle?

@Grey: I was able to get Drew. The other guy with SS needs picked Yunel over him and Drew somehow fell to me. So thankful I didn’t have to draft Rios on this team. I just can’t get excited about starting him. Thanks again!

Hey all -
I went through my e-mail and I have about 45 requests so far. Not a bad first 1/2 day. I’ll look to have invites out by tonight. If you don’t see an invite go out tonight, ping me again at rudy@razzball.com.

@Rabbit: Don't think they're going to change me since Rudy and I can't win any of them.

So this isn’t a used hot tub, right? It’s not something you scored from one of Tiger’s old mistresses looking to unload inventory?

Assuming it’s all on the up-and-up (rather than on the down-low-and-dirty), this is a great prize you are offering. I just hope you guys don’t let the Big Money and Prizes that are now apprently flowing your way go to your heads. Next thing we know, Grey’s picture will feature a huge gold chain around his neck…

@Billy: Ten starts/week sounds fair, but doesn't limiting transactions do the same thing? ****There’s a new post for followups for me.*******

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:01:08 +0000

@HalLeeday34: You have to take one of those first baseman if they're there. Then I'd draft Longoria, Wright or Tulo, in that order. ****There's a new post for followups for me.*******

Sorry didn’t explain myself, i trying to limit streaming starting pitchers in my daily league so some teams don;t just load up on pitchers or just scope them off of waivers. So i was just wondering if you had a number that would be fair for everyone in my 14 team league… the draft hasn’t occurred…

thanks

Off topic but I’m sweating it so I figured I’d post anyway. 12 team H2H 6*6 no MI/CI, 3 Of 1 Utl. It’s a keeper league where you give up 2 rounds ahead of where you picked your keeper so the top 24 players always end up back in the player pool. I’m keeping Felix(giving up an 6), Cano(7), Kershaw(8) and Carpenter (12). I finished 2nd last year so I pick at 11 this year. Kemp and Halladay are the only first/second round talent that are being kept by other owners. What do I target at 11 and 14? It’s a Philly league so Ryan Howard most likely goes ahead of Tex, Miggy and Prince. I’m hoping a 1b drops to 11 but I’m doubting it. Do I look at longoria or d wright? Lincecum or Carl Crawford? Reach on a tulo at 14 after the turn? I know this is long and drawn out but I’d really appreciate any input. Thanks in advance

@Pirate Jesus: I’m with @ThePoonTycoon I’d definitely take a hard look at Burnett. Not sure if that’s Jered or Jeff Weaver eihter. If it’s Jered I’d definitely take a look at him also.

I’d also like to think Hart will have a bounce back season

@Billy: Why are you capping starts/week? Cap transaction amounts. Say three transactions/week. Or don't cap anything.

By: Billy

Billy — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:45:31 +0000

I’m a new daily commish, i was wondering how many Pitchers starts should i allow in a daily league for the week? The league is a 14 team h2h and we have 5 active starters… thanks!!!
