LetsPlay2: ready to rock

LetsPlay2 redux, the 2005 season

Welcome to year 2 of the LetsPlay2 fantasy baseball league.

Hey, first things first. Put that mouse down, get out of your chair and bow down low to your better in every way... the guy who got all the hot chicks while you just watched... the man with the martini to your Shirley Temple... the dude who... oh, for Christ's sake, here it is:

Anyway, the 2005 draft is set:

• When: Saturday March 26 at 3:00 pm
• Where: Castle BillSkull (1219 Bonnema Ct. in Naperville)
• What: Player draft for the 2005 season, pizza, poker afterward?
• Why: Another fun season and the fun of hearing Danny explain why his picks made sense
• How: F'ing show up. On time. Also, the league is all setup at Yahoo, so you can add your team... email me if you need the league ID and password. Players are only eligible to play the positions listed in the Yahoo league, so check it out.
  
• What not to do: Don't show up without the $50 entry fee.

The draft order, based on last year's standings will be:

1. Ian - KY Jellies
2. Angero - Whitesharks
3. **newbie (newbie order determined by random drawing)
   
4. **newbie
5. **newbie
6. **newbie
7. Tommy - Gotham City Golem
   
8. Denise - Coocheyville CamelToe
   
9. Danny - Westmont Pelicans
   
10. Me - Naperville Homowners
    
11. Steve - Hilo Storm
    
12. Jerry - LaGrange G-Spots
    

Newbie draft order will be determined by random drawing. Also, you can certainly move your team location or change your mascot. I just included them as a reminder.

We're shooting for 12 teams this year. The rules should be almost identical to last year. Our league is head-to-head with scoring in the following categories: run, hr, rbi, sb, tb, w, save, k, era, whip. The tiebreaker is ERA. Also, note that Total Bases (TB) is part of our scoring as opposed to the usual Batting Average (ave) that you'll find in almost all magazines and web sites that use "5x5" scoring.

We will vote on any rules changes prior to the draft. The only changes I can think of right now are:

• Allow 2 DL injury spots, up from last year's 1
  
• We'll have to decide the number of playoff teams (proposal: 4 teams in the playoffs if we have 12 teams in the league) and the payout (proposal: $50 for 3rd and 4th, $100 for 2nd, the rest for the winner).
  
• Another idea would be to allow 6 playoff teams, with the top 2 teams getting a first-round playoff bye. I don't think that more than 4 teams should get paid though.
