Purple Row Fantasy Leagues 2010

PrintAlright, I've renewed last year's Purple Row Roto league (with standard Yahoo! rotisserie 5x5 scoring) and given the top five finishers invites to return (myself included).
I've also created a Purple Row SABR league with roto scoring based on some intro to sabermetric stats (OBP, SLG, HR, SB, BA, ERA, WHIP, K/9, OBPa, QS).
The remaining seven spots in the Roto league and the 11 open spots in the Intro to SABR league will go to the people with the best "why I want to compete (with intent to win) in the Purple Row Roto/SABR league" essay (very loosely defined). Invitations will be emailed to the winners.
Besides myself (the Commish), there will be no multi-league participation, so those of you with invites to the Roto league (moomacher, jrockies, Franchise26, and Resolution) will have to decide which league you want to participate in.
LEAGUES ARE NOW FULL
The live online draft for the Roto league will be held on Tuesday March 23rd at 6 MST (you don't have to be present to participate in the league, but it helps to at least have a good pre-ranking list), while the SABR league will draft at 8 MST on the same day. I'm toying with the idea of that being an auction draft, but will defer to the league's participants as to the exact mechanics of the process.
Current Participants:
Roto (12 registered) FULL
Jabberwocky (me), MicroManagers (moomacher), Jrockies Diggers (jrockies), purplesocks, Wyld Stallyns *Rufus* (Resolution), UbaldoTryHairBThere (RockiesDave), ShadowPenguins, Coyotes (Sky Sox), Rocktober (Triple T Rox), P-Town Sexy Bitches (noelman31), Hammel of the Gods (Franchise 26), Justified (coolopotamous)
SABR (12 registered) FULL
Jabberwocky, mkorpal dragonslayer, COLORADOIRISH (fantasyfencing), Happy fun joy people (bballrox4717), Joe Girardi Univ. (Foxhole Atheist), The Bear Creek Bears (oo_nrb), Zeroes (phishbate), Sun City Madman (El Paso Jeff), Arctic Stiffs (jcn7vc), Jzilbek (Andrew Fisher), DancinHotDog (Maria M), PurplePassion
Total spots still available: 0

I'm considering the SABR league,
however, I’m also interested in going against my competition from last season. Any word on what the other invites from the Roto league are doing?

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring (for either league)
Despite the fact that I have never participated in fantasy sports, well, ever, I strongly believe that every competition needs a dark horse. Purple Row’s fantasy baseball absolutely needs it’s own personal David Eckstein.

Can I join the SABR league?
I haven’t done Fantasy baseball before, but I would like to give it a try, and I know my SABR stats well I suppose.
Impossible not to have positive thoughts.
I want Sam Deduno to pitch already.
I'd like to put my name into the hat for the SABR league
if for no other reason than it will really get me to hammer down and keep straight all of the basic saber stats. I find myself having to Google the meaning of WHIP or the formula for OBP far too often – I know the principles of them, but I want to put it to use and maybe learn something along the way.
Also, if you let me in, I’ll do a logo or two for the leagues :) .

purplesocks is invited to the Roto league and ATF & coolopotamus have slots reserved.
This leaves seven open slots in SABR and six in Roto (provided Resolution and Franchise return to that one), with two of those “reserved”, making there 11 spots open.

I'd like to join the SABR league
for a couple of reasons:
1. I’m in a couple of leagues that use the more traditional stats already (including the one arpagamos set up), and I’d like to try something new.
2. I like the idea of using SABR stats for a fantasy league because it will more accurately reflect the player’s worth to his team in real life.
3. I’d really like to get to know some of the other Rowbots better, and I think a (friendly) competition is a good way to do that.

Played last year in a public league and got 2nd, but half the people obviously weren’t managing their teams which ruined it a bit. I’ve also done football and hockey, so I’m used to the commitment of running the team for a whole season ;-)
It would definitely be a blast to compete with fellow Rowbots!

Hey Jabbs
last year it seemed like a handful of participants weren’t aware of the “DL” roster spots. We should probably announce what they are and how they function or something at some point early on…
"These are thin mints. I put them in the freezer. My favorites. So good."
--Reds outfielder Adam Dunn, on the girl scout cookies he keeps in his locker
You've got one DL spot to stash an injured player on--then you can replace that player for free on your roster...
but when they’re ready to come off the DL you have to remove a player from your roster. Pretty simple.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions that y’all have though.

I'd Love to Play in the Roto League
if you still have a spot available. (But I’d do the SABR if that’s available and the Roto isn’t).
Why will I compete to win? Why should I get in?
All the games I go to (everybody on Purple Row probably goes to lots of games) probably isn’t enough. Even the great Rox games I’ve seen wouldn’t be enough. Many Purple Rowers were there for those games too, the subjects of so many other threads.
No drum roll, but here’s the reason: in my keeper league (10th year, NL only, 5×5) they named a rule after me. A couple years running I left auction dollars on the table. Eventually, under “the Duncan Rule” leftover auction dollars converted to free agent dollars. And I eventually did win the league.

Thanks, Jeff.
As for the draft vs. auction discussion, there’s no way an auction could be done in the time that’s available. And on-line auctions aren’t nearly as good as in person.

I'm not sure what you mean, as the SABR draft will go from 8 MST until it ends.

I'm in the Roto.
And if some people are in both, then sounds like the Roto’s probably limited to two hours.

I'm the only person in both...and the Roto draft won't take more than 90 minutes to complete.

Thanks for the invite.
If it’s still up in the air I’d prefer a standard draft instead of auction. Auction may not go so well unless everyone attends and I’ll probably have trouble making 8pm on Tuesdays. They can also take quite a bit longer than standard drafts.
I’ll go along with whatever everyone wants, just thought I’d throw it out there.
I kind of want to try out an auction (I've never done one before but I've heard they were really fun)...
but if even three to four people in the SABR league object we’ll go the other way.

FOR SABR LEAGUE PARTICIPANTS ONLY:
I’ve added a poll up top for determining the type of draft we will have for the league. As I’ve stated above, I’ve never done an auction draft before but am interested in trying it. However, if there is a considerable amount of dissension among league members, we will switch to a regular snaking draft. I’m not sure if changing these settings will result in a different draft time or not, so that’s a consideration too.
Please let me know by Friday your opinions on the matter.
