MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

This is a new video though at first looks similar to one I posted earlier in the thread

Congrats to TONGO on passing 500 transactions for the season while contending for the trophy!


To mark the occasion, I have tracked down the members of his draft class. Where are they now?



Four are free agents.


One each are with the Wylde Wolves, High-Level Arbitrage, Clockwork Angels, and Roid or Roid Not.


Two are Amity Raiders.


Three are with my Spruces, but none were acquired in any of the four trades I've made with the Bombers.


Five are home with said Bombers, including picks from rounds 5, 10, and 15. Two of the five players have been previously traded away and another was just retrieved from the scrap heap.



And six are Ducks.

This is probably my favorite post in the entire thread. Tremendous job.

Only 8 of my 24 remain in my team. Man that's pitiful drafting.

I have 11, but technically only 8 have "remained" on my roster since the draft.

I have only two that never left, Justin Steele & Willson Contreras. Others I traded away, dropped to waivers, traded back for, or picked up again.

Now make that seven with Jake Fraley.
I looked at my draft results again and other than Adbert Alzolay every single player drafted is on a roster earning for someone. Yet if I kept them all I doubt my ranking would be as high. The only thing certain is I really don't know what I'm doing, but do like doing it.
Climbing from last to the podium is like losing 50 pounds. You shed weight off quickly at first, but getting to first place is like losing the last 10 lbs. It takes forever.

Oh goody! They just did a major update to the app right before football season. Looks and feels completely different. What could go wrong?

Yeah mine started looking and working differently, and it crashed every first time I tried to access my team. And forced me to click three times as often to do stuff. And didn't refresh properly when I made lineup changes. And now it's...back the way it was? Ugh. What a mess.

Kyle Schwarber with 3 dingers last night, and all the sides that come with it. He saved me from dropping 2 points as my pitching is regressing. So close yet so far lol

Not that we would inherit our players from this season next year, but im curious if theres interest in this idea.
Does anyone know the mechanics involved in a Dynasty League?


Do they inherit all the same players year to year unless traded/dropped, or is it a partial draft each year?


Is Yahoo even set up for something like that?

I would be up for something like that. The ones I have played in would keep 5, I’m sure it could be setup however you want. I was in one in the early 2000’s that ran through Yahoo, so it’s definitely possible.

That's up to each league. Dynasty usually implies total roster retention. There are also "Keeper" leagues which are a little less dramatic, where you keep a certain number of players each year, sometimes with additional restrictions or costs. This is simplest with auction leagues, because in those cases you can have a player cost more money each successive year you keep them. I play in a Keeper League with Tim and Dan where we keep six, but each player is on a five-year contract, which is something Tim has to track on his own in a spreadsheet. He does a good job of it, but those kinds of rules usually have to be administered without the help of the league site.

I'm open to it but the main hurdle is owner retention is particularly important, owner involvement has to be very high and I don't think it would work to convert this league into one, so it would mean adding another league entirely, in all likelihood.

Yes.

Well me, you, Sean, and Tim would be for it. Best to just let these posts sit and see if anyone else says they're interested. If there's just a couple people more that wouldn't be enough to change or create one.

Well, Tim obviously likes playing in them, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'd want to play in another one. He just clears that first hurdle.

Oh, and just saw this...



The deadline to complete trades in this league is Thursday, Aug 8.




THATS TODAY! Anyone wanting something I got or wanting to make available this is our last chance

...and then there was one.
Dropped Willson Contreras to waivers as he's been cold the past month, and I have to have top tier output at all times from my guys to have a chance against Adam Wonderdraft, and the Fantasy sports Jedi Master.
Onward!

Dear Rays,

Congratulations in your new stadium. Why or how anyone would be stupid enough to spend that much money on a stadium in an area that's proven to not draw fans..... Anyway, now would be a good time to call up Junior Caminero. Let him get his baseball legs the next 6 weeks since we're out of the playoffs.
The fact this would make sense just answers my question. Damn.

Your hopeless fan,

TONGO

Wrong thread. Got one with Bobby Witt?
