tOfficial Sports Mogul Bush League thread

Official Rules
(all super official up in here)

10 team H2H league. Categories are the basic 5x5 plus OBP, SLG, HLD, & K/BB.

Prospects
Any player without 50 career AB or 25 career IP is considered a prospect, and may be called up by the owner who has his team. For instance, if you selected the Nationals as your Tier A team, then you could "promote" Bryce Harper to your team any time you wanted by simply adding him from Free Agency before he accumulated 50 career ABs. However, if you don't call him up by the time he hits 50 career ABs, then he will be fair game to all other teams and you will likely be laughed at because of it. There will be 2 Tier A teams & 8 Tier B teams who will not be selected in the Team Draft & prospects for those teams will be fair game at all times for all teams.

Teams may trade prospects freely up until they lose prospect status. Trades will be recorded here.

Roster Rules
You will HAVE to keep at least 6 players from your A Team & at least 5 players from your B Team on your roster AT ALL TIMES. If you select the Red Sox as your team pick Youk as one of your starting players & then trade him, you must either have another Boston player coming back via the trade, or you must be adding another Boston player via free agency. If you dip below the mandatory 6 & 5 from each team, then the first time you'll simply be laughed at and warned. The next time, you'll be awarded a loss in your H2H meeting for that week. You must meet the 6/5 limit at the beginning of the week in order to receive credit for that week.

Keepers
At the end of the year, you guessed it, you must select 6 players from your A Team & 5 players from your B Team to keep from each of your two teams (they don't have to be the same players you selected to start the season with). However, to keep things interesting, you can also select any 2 players from your roster to keep who aren't affiliated with your 2 Teams. This is to try to promote trading & acute use of the waiver wire. Then, the following year, all non-kept players will be available to be selected via a draft.

Draft
Trading draft picks is allowed. However, as there are 2 roster spots and 13 keepers, no draft pick beyond the 16th round can be traded. Draft order will be the reverse of the previous year's overall record for every round (no snaking).

weren't we supposed to have our team names have something to do with our respective "keeper teams"?

Not one team is named that way, so the answer would be no.

I'm pretty sure we never decided that. And if we did, then, we're not doing that anymore.

I just mentioned the naming as a suggestion

I'm definitely not gonna be the only one to do it though. Miami Giants sounds gayer than 3 guys banging 2 guys

And the Los Angeles Brewers is just a slap in the face to all beer manufacturers.

Everyone who won their matchup this week, take a step forward

Not so fast rage

:c


****ing Miggy.

*stepping forward*

It was a lot closer matchup than the 10-3 final score would make you think. Gordie never really had a chance against my pitching, but his hitting was my equal but I managed to squeak it out.

*stays where he is*

It was pretty close for most of the week, but the last day or two I just fell back. Looking forward to the rematch.

Sergio Romo available for anyone who needs some saves

:(

...of course the day Jose Bautista starts to hit it turns out my lineup changes didn't save and he was on the bench. >_<

All the rained out games screwed me. Lost 6 players today b/c of it

Be nice if the Tigers could get it together so I'll stop getting my ass kicked.

Extremely close game this past week against Performance Dehancers! My pitching pulled me through once again!

ftfy

I had players not play because of rain as well. Not as many as you, granted, but I doubt Johnson would have helped you to carry the pitching stats. He hasn't exactly been himself lately.

Oh, I would like to trade a closer as I have a couple too many right now...

bring me an offer.

I had 8 starters not play to your 1 (big difference when we tied in HRs & I was down 1 in RBI), . Johnson getting the start would have won me Ks & potentially tied me in Ws

No worries, just means an easy week for me this week now

eto, looks like you could use some saves. How about trading Jansen to me for Rivera?

What else you throwing in?

What else?! What else would you need? I thought a closer for a holds guy would be enough.

If you want to trade a RP to me in the dynasty league, then we can talk

Camels, I will entertain a SP for CL trade.

I'm not in the market for SP's, maybe something else?

I've got SP available

Looking for a bat, preferably maple, but will consider ash or hickory.

But seriously, I need some 2B help.

Your face when my team is batting .211 w/ a .263 OBP this week:

My face when I still win this week's matchup:

Rage had Trout as a keeper, but when he actually gets called up, he's over here chillin with Jay Bruce and Carlos Beltran on my team. U MAD BRO?

So I go to add Bryce Harper to my roster now that he's been called up and find him on someone's roster. What's up with that?

Yeah that's no bueno

I'll drop him from Daryn's team, and revert him to FA status.

Fixed. You can add him now Coolguy.

Guys, if you see that there's an illegal transaction, send me an email or tweet. I'll see it faster than if you just put it in the forum.

is anyone else having issues with the Yahoo fantasy baseball websites?
