Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Fantasy Baseball Superliga 2012

Alright guys, we've floated this out there long enough. With 45 teams signing up we do not have enough to continue the four 12-man leagues from last year. We will go with four 10 man leagues and the extra five teams will be subs in the event that a team does not sign up before their draft (or some other deadline designated by that LM).


The Tier 1 LM will be Top Gun Numba 1. The Tier 2 LM will be 4qb or whatever his name is now. We do not have LMs for Tiers 3 or 4 yet so if you are interested please throw your name in the hat. If your league has an LM, get them your e-mail so they can get you set up in the league. All LMs will get together to go over the settings, rosters, etc.. before the season starts so that we have uniform rules and regs.

For those that are new, we will run through the course of the season like normal, but after your league playoffs the top team from each league will square off over a two-week basis to get an ultimate winner out of all 40 teams. This comes with bragging rights and perhaps fun giveaways. Here are your leagues:

Tier 1 (Top Gun Numba 1)

ShawnTSA
Top Gun Numba 1
Sveet
FreeZorilla
PriceMultiCyYoungs
catsondbs
PewterPirate55

Subs (In the event a team no-shows, a no-show means you're banned, FYI)

MetsRaysFan

Please keep all discussion to this thread so that we have a source for all questions and answers and good luck this year, boyos.

LM’ing, I prefer ESPN because you can edit the league page and add pictures and a chatbox, etc. Yahoo, as of last year, is very plain, and it was incredibly slow last season for me for whatever reason, but I preferred it to ESPN overall until then, so whatever.

Alright Tier 3, welcome aboard Ryan Gilliss as your LM, we're still waiting on word from 4qb so if anyone has his tweeter or his e-mail can you give him a heads up

We’re still looking for someone to come forward for Tier 4 so let us know if you’d be interested in the responsibility and capable of fulfilling.

oh nvm.

I was just volunteering if you needed someone. I don’t particularly feel the need to do it. It’s just that I’ve done it before and have been playing for a long time, and in a league full of guys who may not be as experienced or have any experience, I thought I’d help out, and I don’t even mind giving helpful tips to opponents to help them learn. I’m not going to ask for a second, though. I’m not familiar with half the list, and none of them have ever played in a league with me before, so what would they be seconding based on?

I'm not asking you to ask for anything, I just want to make sure that at least one other person in the league is comfortable with you in charge, I don't think that's a lot to ask

and I would ask it of anyone since that’s all new guys that didn’t play last year where Tiers 1 & 2 area all comebacks and Gilly played last year as did some of the other guys in that division.

With only 10 teams per league

I think positional settings should look like:

C
1b
2b
3b
ss
mi
ci
of (5)
util
9 pitchers
3bench

That gives a 25 man roster, and it’s deep enough so that you have to actually look around a little for talent on the wire instead of having an obvious replacement always readily available, but it doesn’t make the talent that scarce, only drafting the top 250. For offense, anyway. Pitching will be easy to come by depending on how the league uses their benches.

I don’t particularly care about trade deadline, waiver time, lock time, or crap like that.

I also like to play vetoes as league vote, not LM.

I ran a 5×5 roto league with small rosters on yahoo for the past 3 seasons, but it was for amateurs.

Not really sure how into this people are, but those settings were probably more for veterans.

Not a huge fan of the 3 UTIL

Rather have one generic OF and 2 UTIL, and no specifics on pitchers, although I’m more willing to budge on the pitchers because I don’t really care.

The two who made the deal don’t really count, so there’s 8 left, and 5 is one more than half, which is perfect to me.

I'd rather 2 OF spots and one util so decisions are a little more difficult, the cats look fine, I'd have the longest waiver period possible to ensure everyone had a chance to pick up a guy not just the hawks

Set the playoffs up so that each intraleague series is one week with the finals for each league finishing up two weeks before the end of the season. I don’t really care how you break down the pitcher stuff. Otherwise looks pretty solid. Gilly, Topper, and Sandals I’m sure will have their tweaks.

by Sandy Kazmir on Feb 25, 2012 5:53 AM EST up reply actions  

The finals and intraleague has been set up exactly as last year.

That also being said, I don’t like a 4 day waiver period because it takes away potential SP’s who might be scheduled to start in a day or so.

Matthan hasn’t been on in nearly 3 weeks. Does he post at OTTOTD?
Longorious’s only post this in 2012 is the one in which he said he was interested.
Multiple sources seems to be around lately a little, but he hasn’t posted on here, I don’t think.
MakeitRayn falls into the category of Multiple sources.

Contingency plans aren't a bad idea though

It is the Rays’ Way, after all. So I propose that, in the unlikely event that Tier 4 doesn’t happen, we emulated MLBs changes. Three Division Winners get a bye the first round, while the two best non-division winners get wildcard spots…and play a one-day playoff.

I dunno, just sort of happened

I got really busy last year with the new book and didn’t go much of anywhere for baseball stuff at the beginning of the year. Then when I did stop by, the conversation seemed kind of dead and/or reactionary. I’ll probably stop by some more during the season when conversation picks up. There’s no hard feeling toward anybody, if that’s what you’re asking.

This is what was agreed upon always

and now that people aren’t in tier 1 we are changing it.

What was the point of putting all the top players in tier 1 if some tier 4 garbage monster is going to have an equal chance to win it?

The first year was unique because we had to sort out the divisions, but then it was going to turn into a relegation/promotion system. Where Tier 1 is the Premier League.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I'd love to have a dialogue on this because I disagree and think re-ranks should be based on Win% as we did this year, but it's about what the people want

We should probably hammer out two to three different arguments and then take a poll. I like the idea of being able to win it all from anywhere, seems like less seniority and forces you to be on your toes more. If you want to avoid the bottom tier then you have to at least be in the top half of your league. Make the playoffs and you’re most likely either tier 1 or 2, especially if we have drop outs.

What's the penalty for being in the bottom tier?

If you're in the bottom tier for multiple years it's because you're the worst of the worst. Opposite for being at the top over and over

This is all bragging rights so if you can be the best of the best year after year then you’re clearly a better player. If I haven’t been clear, I don’t really care either way.

It is analogous to posting tiers.

Bottom tiered posters, like yourself, are not taken seriously here because of their low level posting quality.

Similarly, poor fantasy baseball owners (myself EXCLUDED here, because I forgot my ESPN password after like day 3 of the season) will see the same treatment.

Sveet, leaguemates, total strangers, I think I've come up with a nice blended combination of how the rankings should go next year.

We will rank by all team’s records as we did going into this year, but let’s regress this with another 240 games at separate weights depending on tier:
Tier 1 .600
Tier 2 .550
Tier 3 .500
Tier 4 .450

So if you were in tier 1 and had a .506 Win% then that would regress to .553. If you had a .506 Win% in Tier 4 then that regresses to .478. We then rank by this weighted Win% or wWin%. We can tweak the win% weights and also how heavily we regress, but those details can be worked out later. For now, look at how last years ranks worked out:

Now let’s assume for a moment that red was Tier 1, Blue was Tier 2, Yellow was Tier 3, and Green is Tier 4, here’s how this looks with wWIN%:

You can still climb from Tier 3 to Tier 1 as Topper did or fall from Tier 2 to Tier 4 as Chin Music Jihad would have, but you’re not punished as harshly if you’ve already earned Tier 1 status.

I feel this is a nice compromise, but would like to know how others feel.

Yeah, but time is running out, and I'd like to get everyone to agree on a draft date and time

That’s going to take a few days to get everyone’s input with their schedule and stuff, and then a little while longer to vote on a day, etc etc etc. The other ESPN league I run took about a week to decide a draft time from listed good/bad days/times to finally agreeing on a specific time.

Honestly, if you do it this way- It'll be way more confusing. Half of the people in tier 4 (my league) quit last year

Well new guys will continue to automatically get slotted in Tier 4 upwards, We'd probably still realistically have three full tiers and then one for new guys

I don't see why you can't have relegation AND interleague playoffs

Use the regular season for relegation purposes, and the interleague post-season as simply bragging rights. That way, there can endless arguments about whether it is more impressive to win the toughest Tier in (fantasy) baseball, or to win the crapshoot of a (fantasy) “championship”

by nomoredevil on Mar 5, 2012 12:16 PM EST reply actions  

I'd rather not give the playoff teams automatic exemptions

There’s no reason for Tier 4 team to hop up to Tier 1 by virtue of simply making the playoffs. Maybe give the playoff champ an exemption to the top tier, but winning a non-competitive league isn’t really much of an accomplishment in and of itself.

It's almost exclusively filled with new players this year, I'd think you could throw them one bone, but you're probably right that it should be earned
