We need one more player for a SABR fantasy league

Just copy and pasted Ogre's original post After doing some research I came upon Ottoneu's scoring system for FanGraphs. It's a Yahoo! H2H points keeper league with what amounts to basically wRC and FIP with some added tweaks by yours truly to try and simulate leverage for relievers. There will be a live draft at a time to be determined. The scoring categories and lineup construction will follow in the comments. I ask anyone who joins to please make sure they will do two things: 1) stay active and, 2) have interest in actually staying with a keeper league. Also, for familiarity reasons, team names should contain at least part of your AA screen name (for instance, my team is "Ogre's Ogres" - they don't have to be that blatant and unimaginative though). League ID#: 81495 League Name: Sabermetrics! Password: nickevans Looks like it'll be a ton of fun, and seems like Ogre's put a lot of work in for this keeper league.

So close to joining

I miss fantasy baseball, but with child #2 on the way in June I might have problems with requirement #1. Argh.

Thanks Evan_S.

Here’s the link to the original post. There you will find the league and scoring settings in the comments.

I read it!

I cast the one vote in the poll

Scott was asked if this win meant that Rex Ryan could now be looked at as an equal of Bill Belichick's as a coach.

"Why not better? Belichick is one Mo Lewis hit from being fired," Scott said. "[Brady] don't come in we might be talking about him on the unemployment line."

well.. its a keeper league

“I ask anyone who joins to please make sure they will do two things: 1) stay active and, 2) have interest in actually staying with a keeper league.”

umm, thats about it. The rest is up to you guys. I don’t think this league is full of experts, it isn’t a scary league. I think a lot of us will be figuring out how to do it as we go.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I intend on being the worst hard-ass commissioner ever. I expect everyone to be instant experts on the intricacies of a points system based on linear weights, scan the waiver wire at least twice a day, and tear their hair out over deciding if they should pickup free agent X all the while ignoring their families, jobs, and other obligations.

That's a lot to manage all from the comfort of the basement.

"And that's why anybody who invested with Lenny Dykstra should really call that number. Lawyers are standing by."

Well, I signed up.

I will be dedicated and I will stay around. I love the idea of a keeper league.
