MapleLeafs 142 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The AHL commish did one like this a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. I PM'd him a week ago and asked if it'd be cool if I ran it, and he didn't get back to me, so meh. I'm running it anyways!You have to pick 16 hitters, 7 starters and 7 closers. For the hitters, the only stat you need to worry about is homeruns. For starters, you need to focus on wins, and for closers, you'll need saves. The year will be broken down into weekly sections (Monday to Sunday), and as long as your hitter hits a homerun during the week, he survives and moves on to the next week. If your starting pitchers get a win, they survive, and if your closers get a save, they survive.Your players get points based on how many homeruns, wins or saves they get during the week, and in what # week they do it. For example: In Week 1, your hitter (Hank Aaron) hits 2 homeruns. He survives and moves on to Week 2, and he also receives 2 points. In Week 2 he hits another 2 homeruns. He survives again, and receives 4 points for an overall total of 6. In Week 3, he gets no homeruns and is eliminated, and finishes with 6 points. This goes the same for your starters regarding wins, and your closers regarding saves.** Now for the good part: You can't pick 2 players from the same team. All 30 MLB teams have to be represented on your squad.This isn't a draft. You can pick any 30 players you want, providing they fit the criteria above (all 30 MLB teams repped. with 16 hitters, 7 starters, 7 closers). It'll most likely be for $20 with the top 2 teams getting paid, or winner take all. Week 1 will run from Sunday, March 30 - Sunday, April 6. After that, each week will be Monday - Sunday. If it makes it to the All Star Week, then the 4 day all star week will be combined with the following week. Any interest? Any questions?There are 2 games that take place in Japan that won't count towards the pool. The entry deadline will be 6:00 PM EST on Sunday, March 30th.You can send your entries to vlaming8748@rogers.com I will take Paypal, and the email address is the same. I can also take a PokerStars transfer. My ID is MapleLeafs (Newmarket)BaseballSurvivor2008.xls Link to post Share on other sites

sleuthis 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am in - will send you my picks before sunday.One question.........I do recall when I ran this of the 16 hitters you had to have 1 at each position5 outfielders, 2 catchers, 1 each of 1b, 2b, 3b, ss + 1 other 1st or 3rd, 1 other 2nd or ss and 3 utility(that just makes all the roster more likely to be different and makes it a little tougher)what do you think?

It's too late to change now, unfortunately as I've already started to receive a couple entries from people who are going away. Link to post Share on other sites

3A 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I predict Serge to win this pool. By a convincing margin... and to think he can't mess things up too badly as he can only have 1 Totonto player Link to post Share on other sites
