And they're off!

I would guess there will be a lot of player movement in the next couple weeks. I don't even know half the guys on my team...
This is not the admin you're looking for...

Yea I apparently drafted 3 DL pitchers to start, one with a high pick.  This should be a fine mess to fix.

That's the fun part to me.  Combing waivers, maxing out starters.  Should be a good year!

So just a few things to consider (no operational secrets :biggrin:)

You get 12 starts from your pitchers a week, generally Monday - Sunday.  Choose wisely, as after the 12th start they don't count anymore.  You will see week one you get 19 starts though, as it is running Thursday all the way through the next week.

Watching waivers can find players to fill slumping spots and such.  But Fantasy Baseball does pay to at least check your roster everyday.  You can see categories such as Last 7, Last 15, Last 30 and season stats to determine if a rookie who started hot has cooled off, somebody that may have opened terrible or injured is now back and tearing it up, etc.  

You can use your DL to get eligible players out of the way, but remember you have to have a roster spot when they come back.

Pitching is the art of fantasy.  Constantly being able to max starts and relievers in the game is huge on a weekly basis.  It will show you the probable starters by day by a small PP by their name.

Have fun, you will figure it all out pretty quick.

Ok, so I have 9 pitchers.  Only 4 of them are pitching this next 7 games.  So I ought to drop/pick up pitchers who are going to be starting to make up that 12 games?  Edit: just realized the 4 are my starting pitchers; makes sense the relievers won't be called up until they're needed.

The relievers have to be on your active roster on a day for their stats to count.  You can add/drop pitchers to fill games, you just risk losing any drops if they are picked up and you have to mind your starts.

I wanted starters more than relievers and set it that way but hey, no dice.  Got hosed.  At least I am not the only one.  But for my first attempt, I am going to have a ton of fun.  Always been a fantasy football guru, but never baseball so I am looking forward to this.

Good luck everybody and HAPPY OPENING DAY!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be adding a second owner to my team. This is due to the fact that I will be travelling for work again soon and also will be completely without internet for 2 weeks this summer during a backpacking trip in New Mexico. My co-owner doesn't have a stake in the cigars. I will be responsible for all payouts. He's just going to be there to help during the times I am unable to manage my team. If anyone has an issue with this, please speak now or forever hold your peace  :biggrin:
