New Fantasy Baseball League

by Los Angeles de Anaheim on Feb 28, 2007 7:01 PM PST

Hey everybody, I know we talked about this a couple weeks ago, and I know a few people have already joined leagues. But I'm gonna start another league for any interested rookies. As long as you don't consider yourself stinkin' awesome, you're eligible to play in this league.

I'm using ESPN -- if you're used to Yahoo, ESPN's layout is a little different, but they've got a lot more features, PLUS free live scoring.

So if you're an Angel fan and want to join a fantasy league, then shoot me an e-mail at:
d a n i e l 2 0 2 3 @ y a h o o . c o m and give me your e-mail address.

Speaking of which

I tried to post in the other diary on the topic a couple days, but the post function was disabled or something. Whoever was running it made the last post saying that there were 2 spots left, and I'm still interested in that one.

There are also

some spots still open in the league Bilko 420 set up. We're mostly of limited experience: 0-5 years. Send him an e-mail to join.

If we could get 3 good leagues going it would be neat to have relegation/promotion between them each year.

Captain, there are doubt's...

Fantasyland

For what it's worth, in anticipation of our upcoming fantasy leagues I picked up Fantasyland by Sam Walker -- which coincidentally is being blown out by Amazon, unlike Rev.'s Lolita porn book.

It mentions the beginnings of this phenomenon as the Tout Wars basically. I'm guessing the two main differences between their league and ours is one, theirs is specifically Rotisserie and two, their draft is "English auction" where they must bid against each other for players. Therefore, after they spend all their money on Albert Pujols and Johan Santana, they're left with dropping $1 on guys like Matt Hensley.

That said, there's been some talk in our league regarding the efficacy of tracking W's due to their relatively subjective nature. My question, does Matt Hensley's 1-0 record and 36.00 ERA reflect this discontinuity?

Anyway, the first mention of Stoneman in the Walker book:

"I can't help you with that," barks Bill Stoneman, the flinty GM of the Anaheim Angels. "Scouting information is confidential."

Also, reading ahead to the comical Jose Guillen picketing scene: Scioscia got it and played it really well -- even Stoney got it. The only guy that didn't get it was Ersty's running mate, Percival (well, and Ersty). But I'm guessing Percy was just too wound up in his own scowl to see the humor forest for the grit trees.
