Chisoxfn Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Just want to remind everyone. Steff....I'm not sure when I'm going to get home from work this morning, so I want to post instructions for you here. I'll also PM you the instructions for how to do it. This should also help anyone else that hasn't done a live draft on yahoo or a live draft in general. What you do is go to your yahoo league page. If you don't know how to get there, just go to www.yahoo.com, click on sports, then click on the fantasy button on the top right. Make sure your logged in and then your team will show up on the middle of the right hand side. Just click the league name. Once your in the league page. You'll see on the very top (there is like a yellow/gold background color) that it says the draft is so many hours away. Click on the test your system button. This will make sure you have the proper plugins. About 15 minutes before the draft, in that same area (I'm pretty sure on this) a button will come up with the live draft link and we'll just click the button and go in there. The draft order will be automatically generated in half an hour. I'll be on aim on Bullsback just before the start of the draft, so if anyone has any trouble they can pm me. And once were in the draft I'm pretty sure there is like a chat feature, so we can all shoot the bull Let me also add....Centerfield is a MANDATORY POSITION You need to have 2 OF, and 1 CF.

danman31 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 A little over an hour to the draft. This should be fun. I have to rank my players now to make it easier for myself during the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Good draft everyone... I think AssHat was the star of the draft, making plenty of really nice picks. I'm very jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 I'll second that. It was a good, fun, draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 After Carefully studying my team I think that was the best draft I've ever had... Before I've loaded up on pitching with hopes that I could trade for everything else. But my line-up features, with the exception of Klesko and Damon(who are both definately available, since they'd probably be riding the pine on my team) No one who batted lower than .275 last season. There may not be too much power, but everone's got some. I expect 8 guys to hit at least 25 bombs. I have a bunch of team speed (something I usually overlook), and that's valuable because 3B's and SB's are both stats. My pitching staff, which features no one who won more than 14 games last season, isn't near as bad as I had originally thought. I have three guys who will break camp as their teams closer, and as early as a month into the season I could have 5 GOOD closers ) All pitchers have good K/BB ratios, and relatively small ERA's. I drafted a bunch of guys who were either hurt last season, young, or splitting time, so they didn't have the biggest numbers, but should produce more this season. N. Johnson - split time C. Patterson - injured J. Gonzalez - injured Klesko - split time/ injury J. Gerut - split time/ young (should improve) A. Berroa - young (should improve) S. Podsednik - young(should improve) The names on offense I didn't name were on the all-star team last year. D. Willis - young - didn't play full season, though I think he may have a little bit of a down season. hittters may figure him out A. Rhodes - didn't close last season - Billy Beane makes him worth more in Oakland E. Jackson - Proved he belongs in the bigs last year. future NL rookie of the year??? I'd Like a top of the rotation starter but unless the right deal comes along I think I'll be standing pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I am willing to trade everyone but Everett, Reyes, and Renteria. Everyone else can be had. EDIT: Renteria and Everett can be had only if the right deal comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same outfield with an exception of Baldeli. (In league 1) I like your pick of Ensburg. He is going to do great this year in Houston with Geoff Blum gone to Tampa, meaning he won't have to share time with anyone. J. Gerut - split time/ young (should improve) I got Jody to and I feel that he was my steal of the draft cause I got him in like the 19th round or something, he just slipped through the cracks on everyone elses list. I got Nevin late too, and I'm expecting a big rebound year from him after being hurt for almost all of last year. He will be in a hitters park out in San Diego too.
