2018 DobberBaseball League

I'm good to start whenever. Seems like the sooner the better since we have a few times were a few managers won't be available. I'd rather draft early than be scrambling to finish on time.

I agree with this... better done early then rushing late.

Just one comment of importance... if we do start now... be sure to let the league know (in here) or hcokeyrobot (PM) know the times you are unavailable if it is for an extended period of time.

I feel like last year we had perfect timing and were able to get through the draft in like a week and a half... but with everyone having times they are away... it will likely take longer this year.

Well like mentioned above, the first few rounds aren't going to be affected by unsigned/free agent players so why not get started and insure we finish on time. I'm good with starting now or waiting until the first week of March though. I'm easy, and I will be available at all times really.

I would really prefer to wait until March 5 to start. That gives us over 3 weeks to complete.

I'm fine with March 5, but what about 2014og? He's gone for a week starting March 7.

If we are ok with a non-consistent pick timing (i could be away from a computer for a couple of days), it could be a benefit me at the turn with getting 2 rounds of picks off at once. But, I bet in the two weeks I'm away, I'll get 2 sets of picks done, if that.

And it's JD Martinez that's really the only high end talent not signed. You have Mous and Hosmer, then some middling SPs, but that's about it. JD would be the only FA drafted in our fantasy league if we start lets say on Monday.

I'll go with whatever suits the majority, and when people are ready to start. I'd like to at least wait until I can see what the players look like in these settings when it opens and start making a list.

Looks like we are going to start March 5. Yahoo opens this evening so we'll be able to see rankings based on our settings.

That's what I was going off of as well....I have done zero personal rankings yet. Which I realize may seem silly since it's a free pool on a forum....but A) we all have our processes. B) If I'm going to invest the time....I want to win haha!

Plus ya....I will be in Mexico starting Feb 22 with limited to no phone.

So hockeyrobot, you'll be on the Yahoo page at 6pm ET refreshing the page constantly so that we can have League ID #1 right?

Definitely not.

[PenguinHunter]

Definitely not.

Ahhh. come'on man!! this is a #1 worthy league!

[DusterDave]

Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is FINALLY open.

[hockeyrobot]

And I've sent invites to GSD and horrorfan....and pretty sure I removed lucafen. It's confusing when everyone changes their names.

League #941. Weak hockeyrobot, very weak.

Kidding of course, thanks for doing this.
