Average SOS for April

This data is based on drafted teams only. Updates regarding this subject will be given on the first full week of each month based on your roster at that time. April SOS:
Cackblacked - 250
Nostradumbass - 236
GotMyEireUp - 226
Diamond Douche - 199

According to My Strength of Schedule Tables

The average SOS (Strength of Schedule) for each manager's draft is listed from best to worst:
Cackblacked - 1593
Nostradumbass - 1498
Diamond Douche - 1464
GotMyEireUp - 1459

Don't be discouraged...it's just a mathematical equation that I derived all by my little ole self.

FREE AGENT/TRADE PERIOD

The last day to originate a trade is September 3. The last period to submit a Waiver Claim is August 30 - September 1. Another reminder will be given as these dates approach.

UNLIMITED TRADES

Trades can be made at any time during the week (no holding period) Teams involved in trade must have at least a +/-5 in the win column of the newspaper/standings on the day the trade is originated. YOU MUST NOTIFY COMMISH OF ANY TRADE ORIGINATION THAT DAY. Once trade is allowed, Commish will notify managers of new assignments and those teams will be eligible to start the following Monday.

WAIVER CLAIMS

The first Waiver Claim Period begins at 9 AM Monday April 12 and ends at 9 PM Wednesday April 14. Submit your claims to the Commish during this period. Claim order is based on the reverse point leader order. Commish will let you know during the claim period if your claimed team is available, allowing you time to choose another team if you like. Once the claim period is over, Commish will notify all managers of new assignments and new assignments will be eligible to start the following Monday.

Nostradumbass....

...has already chosen its starting lineup for Week 1...Cardinals, Dodgers, Red Sox

When posting....

If you are posting as K or E, please specify in your heading which one you are....afterall, I'm sure that was Eire that posted earlier that her draft appeared best on paper...you wanna start the shit talking now, girl, uh huh, I thought so

Who Had the Best Draft?

Who the fuck knows, but it looks like Eire did, on paper anyway. Partly because her dumb ass douche fucked up, but hey.

Modest Beginnings

Please bare with me as we work out the kinks in our new fantasy format. It has been fairly simplified so that there isn't too much information to keep track of and that we are all able to enjoy our lives outside of this pasttime activity.

As the self-appointed League Commish, I want to say thank you and good luck.

SMACK TALK & TRANSACTIONS

The blog site is mostly here as a forum for each manager to bash each other, the fantasy league, a team they own, a team they don't own, and so on and so on. So strap on those waders, it's a long season......

Transactions (trades/drop & adds) will be posted here as well by the Commish. You may also choose to originate a transaction directly on the site simply by creating a post. I will likely have to get you all admin rights to do that though.

Updates and Stats

Partial stat updates will be posted each week on the blog site. The comprehensive spreadsheet will be e-mailed directly to each one of the managers no later than 9 AM Monday mornings.

Draft Day is Upon Us

Welcome to the 2010 MLB Team Fantasy League. I hope you've done your homework...the draft starts at 6:00 PM tonight when we draw the draft order and start picking our teams.
