We are planning a 14 team, live draft, Yahoo league for any interested players. If you want to play, go the special thread set up in the Fantasy Baseball category at the Fantasy Forums and claim your spot. I’m going to wait and get suggestions for a good date once I see if we have enough interest. Also, I’ll consider any suggestions you guys have on the stats setup for the league.

We are playing 2 ten team tournaments today with our fantasy roster. One of the tournaments filled up, but the other may not fill due to the deadline being 2:30 today. The structure is a 7 player, 210 point cap game.
We are putting an interesting lineup on the floor today and sticking with the Studs and Duds approach. Today we single out Randy Foye as our dud and we are building the team around him. He is near minimum wage at $11 but has been getting nice minutes as Minnesota is out of the race and trying to get things figured out for next year. He put in 40 minutes and collected 23FP in his last game and I’d be more than happy with a repeat of that today. Put Tracy McGrady (32) and Brandon Roy (31) at the other two guard positions. Guard is just an ugly position today, as just about all the top matchups are just terrible.
At forward I’m going with Dirk Nowitzki (36), Ron Artest (31) and Chris Bosh (35). I wanted LeBron, but with a smaller 210 point cap today, it just wasn’t possible without sacrificing another position. Bosh was the second choice and $13 cheaper. I just hope the TOR/NYK isn’t a blowout and Bosh doesn’t end up on the bench for the fourth quarter.
At center I’m going with Ming. He gets a matchup v. a very inexperienced interior of T. Thomas and J. Noah. He should have a big day.
Good luck and remember your lineups have to be in by 2:30 today.
We had some good results Saturday as the fantasy tournament roster took 2nd in one tournament and 3rd in the other for two money finishes. The team put up 249 total Fantasy points and was 6 points out of first place in both tournaments. Both tournament winning teams had Ginobili who put up 47 for the night. I just didn’t expect Ginobili to keep putting up huge lines with the return of Parker, but I might have to take another look. Kobe had an off night for us only putting up 28 fantasy points and Anthony was a little sluggish putting up only 31. The rest of the team performed pretty well with Carter (40) , Wade (43), Kobe (28), Jefferson (38), Duncan (47), Anthony (31) and Blount (21).
There are 16 teams in action today, with an early game at 2:30 Eastern. I’ll try and have the board up by lunchtime and our picks shortly thereafter.
