    Question 2011 Baseball/Slant Points League Changes/Signup

    The biggest change is stopping the total season point league format and moving to head to head points. I also decreased the number of relief starters and increased the number of bench players allowed.

    I am personally pretty happy with the distribution of points right now, I thought it was better than 2009. But if there is anything big that should be changed (not just with points, let me know.)

    League right looks to be me, Zito, Porter, Leo, Foster, bwitty, marinersfan, bcshorts, mofo, and GiantsFanatic. So there will probably an opening or two. Please post here if you are still interested in playing or if you would like to join.

    I still have last year's ESPN Mag issue where Baseball Think Factory's all-knowing ZiPS computer simulation projected Joey Votto to have a down year from 2009. Oops. Such a waste of print space The Mag has become with its bar graphs and pie charts being the gist of season preview reports.

    Sweet, thanks guys. If anyone else is interested, let me know (or if you are active on the site and were in the league last year, but want to drop... let me know.)

    I'm down! Work has been crazy lately so I haven't had anytime to do anything outside of work and sleep. Things should he calming down now a little.

    Bump. The draft is in 2 days. We might want to start replacing the inactive managers (bcshorts and MarinersFan) and set the keepers ASAP.

    Can't pick keepers anymore, the deadline has passed. And there are a lot of good ball players that didn't get picked.

    Sorry guys. After being sick and working non-stop the last 10 days or so, this has all slipped my mind.

    I pushed back the draft until next Sunday and also pushed back the keeper deadline until Thursday. FYI on keepers, I upped them to 5 a few weeks ago and I think some of you already had your keepers in before then, so select two more if you wish.

    I am sending out a PM to a few of the members as well as to a few who might be interested in joining. A more detailed league email will be going out.
