May 6, 201115 yr Author Solid team you put together. Going with King Felix today is tempting but he eats up a lot of the cap.
May 6, 201115 yr Solid team you put together. Going with King Felix today is tempting but he eats up a lot of the cap. I wanted Felix, but I didn't have enough money for him at the end. Ricky's done pretty well, for the most part, in his career against the Nats so I went with the homer pick. The pitchers are worth a lot more than the hitters, lol. Probably because a win gets you 7 points.
May 6, 201115 yr Author The pitchers are worth a lot more than the hitters, lol. Probably because a win gets you 7 points. Yeah, plus a point per K and a point per IP. That win though can be tough to get sometimes, like going with Josh for us. He would cost a lot but a win isn't sure a thing as we know. Hitters can be valuable though, each solo HR is 6 points (4 for HR, 1 RBI, 1 Run Scored). Also, in case you didn't notice yet -- you can edit your team up til it's locked. Sometimes you'll find out right before the entry is locked that one of your guys isn't starting and you'll want to swap them out obviously.

May 6, 201115 yr Author Haha, thanks for the update. Yeah, you have to be careful because they don't remove players from the list even if they are on the DL. Also, for daily lineups I use http://www.baseballpress.com/lineup.php since it has them all there one easy to see page.

That's an awesome site; do they usually get the lineups out as soon as they're released? Seems rather early, yet they have almost all the lineups.
May 6, 201115 yr Author That's an awesome site; do they usually get the lineups out as soon as they're released? Seems rather early, yet they have almost all the lineups. Yep, they have them quicker than any other source I've seen. Usually they have lineups up 3-4 hours before game time.
May 6, 201115 yr So far I have P Ricky Nolasco C Mike Napoli 1B Mark Teixeira 2B Neil Walker 3B Alex Rodriguez SS Orlando Cabrera LF Chris Coghlan CF Matt Kemp RF Andre Ethier Hopefully Ricky has a good one today. BTW you can't see the team that the other people in your league picked right?
May 6, 201115 yr Author BTW you can't see the team that the other people in your league picked right? Not til it locks. Once it's locked, you can view the team everyone in the league has.
May 6, 201115 yr Wow, I don't think I submitted my team; I don't see my league anymore, either. :confused
May 6, 201115 yr Wow, I don't think I submitted my team; I don't see my league anymore, either. :confused Yeah I took too long picking my team and then when I submitted it, the league was full. I just joined another one though.
May 6, 201115 yr Author Wow, I don't think I submitted my team; I don't see my league anymore, either. :confused If you click My Account up top it'll show any upcoming games you have. If nothing shows and your funds also haven't changed then yeah you didn't submit it.
May 6, 201115 yr Author Yeah I took too long picking my team and then when I submitted it, the league was full. I just joined another one though. My trick is to just select a bunch of random guys and get my entry in and then go in and edit it. That way I get in before the league fills and can just pick the players I want.
May 6, 201115 yr I just entered the same team in another league, but it now says I don't have enough funds in my account. :blink:
May 6, 201115 yr This one guy in the league I'm trying to enter joined the site on April 20th, and he's won $972. :Clap
May 6, 201115 yr Ok, I get this now. I was trying to enter $10 leagues when I only had a balance of $5. The cap changed from 35k to 32k, so I had to make some changes. Casey McGehee becomes Edwin Encarnacion and Bobby Abreu became "no-name" Jerry Sands. Rest is the same... EDIT: Apparently, I'm just an idiot, who couldn't find the league. Both leagues entered. I have a chance to win over $100 tonight! :o
May 6, 201115 yr Author The cap changed from 35k to 32k, so I had to make some changes. Yep some leagues are 35k and others are 32k. They call the 32k ones expert.
