Ex, I can't comment on how good looking you are, but you're pretty even handed.

What I want to know is, how do I start that many people with only 3 bench slots?

[tomder55]

I have yet to be critical of the decision to enforce a no-fly zone.
I'm not even critical of CIA being on the ground . They should be .
That is the nature of precision bombing .

I hope his secret order includes orders to Get Daffy... maybe a rendition if possible. I also think that the Senate and House need to make regime change America's official policy toward Libya... and the sooner the better .

I think he bungled it out of the gate and doesn't really understand why he made this call. (he thinks he does ,but he really doesn't. All he really understands is working the urban streets agitating )

1.He went in too late (by 3 weeks)
2. He did not make his case to Congress ;he made a muddled incoherent case to the American people 2 weeks in to our participation
3. He only felt justified in committing forces when other nations and international institutions gave him the OK.
4. He really has no idea what he wants to accomplish . The problem is that he is not like GW Bush who had a clear idea of what he wanted to accomplish and put it on the table for all to see.

Hello again, Steve:

You have enough players to man every position, and the bench is who's left over.

About, Libya, though. We should NOT have gone in. Smoothy and I agree. KBC too.

Hello again, tom:

I don't disagree about Obama.. I don't even disagree about Bush... They were both WRONG about their wars. It took Obama 31 days to be wrong. It took Bush over a year and much study to be wrong.

Who's worse? Who cares?

I know what the bench is goofy... I'm just a football guy. But am I starting 9 pitchers?

On Libya, I totally agree with tom.

Hello again, Steve:

Nahh, you rotate 'em.. I don't know if they're physically assigned to the bench or the bull pen. Going to have to wait till Tuesday, when Felix Hernandez throws a no hitter, and he's on MY team.

excon

[speechlesstx]

Uh, the roster settings show 9 starting pitchers. In fantasy football that would be like 9 starting QB's.

[tomder55]

As I recall there is a max amount of innings you can use your pitchers for during the season.
You can go to
Fantasy Baseball Probable Pitchers : Fantasy News
To find out which starters to put in your lineup daily .

[tomder55]

You fill in the rest of the pitching slots with relievers.

[speechlesstx]

All I know is it says starting pitchers, 9, which to me means I need 9 pitchers plus backups. What am I missing?

[excon]

Hello again, Steve:

Well, you don't start 5 outfielders either, so I can't tell you what's going on.

You're the man, you have to make the settings work, brother.

[excon]

Hello again, Steve

What I can tell you is this. You have 22 starters, but when you fill in your roster, only 9 players will actually "start". It'll become obvious when we start playing...

SAVES do count, so some of your "starting" pitchers have to be relievers...

excon

[tomder55]

Here is the rules. Just checked... the league is set for MAX 200 games started . But you need some relievers on your roster also because 'saves' counts.

PITCHERS
ESPN Fantasy Baseball provides nine pitcher slots. You may use any combination of Starters and Relievers. However, keep in mind that there are limits for games started by your Active Starters as a whole. For more information on Pitching Limits, click here.

NOTE: The utility slot may NOT be filled with a pitcher.


Total Roster Size: 25+1 (13 Batters, 9 Pitchers, 3 Bench, +1 DL)

Batters (13): C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, OF, OF, 2B/SS, 1B/3B, UTIL

Pitchers (9): P, P, P, P, P, P, P, P, P

Bench (3): BE, BE, BE

Disabled List (1): DL

[speechlesstx]

All right, I'll figure it out. Just trying to get a draft strategy since I won't be joining you.

[excon]

Hello again, Steve:

Pick Cy Young award winners, closers and batters. Defensive stats don't count. Since there's only a few teams, there'll be PLENTY of good players that'll be available AFTER the draft. You take 'em off waivers.

excon

[speechlesstx]

I love the waiver wires.

[tomder55]

I just checked my stats from the last year's league .

You can have pitchers or position players on your bench.

Some strategery . When I came close to Max wins ,I added relievers who could pad some of the other pitching stats .

[paraclete]

Do they play baseball in Libya?

[excon]

Hello clete:

Do you have a stick up your a$$?
