Quick Questions...
1. Your Age (Please be 18 or older to join this league)?
24 years old
2. Your Location?
Massachusetts USA
3. Your favorite MLB team?
Boston Red Sox
4. How did you find this league?
Stephen posted a query in a league where both in. I searched through this league and I like this set up.
Not as Quick Questions...
1. What experience do you have playing fantasy baseball?
I've been playing fantasy baseball for about 6 years now, fantasy sports in general for same time frame (involved in football, basketball, and occasionally hockey as well)
2. How often are you available online to be contacted by your fellow owners in this league (trade talk and such)?
Every day, in the fall winter and spring more often than during the summer. I work as a director for a residential camp, so my work schedule is crazy from early June to late August, so most of my time then would be made just setting my lineup. I was still able to respond to every message within 24-36 hours during that busy time, and will be able to maintain that every summer, but my response time and length of responses is longer outside that time frame =)
3. What kind of team would you be willing to take over? (The options could include: A team with a chance to compete this year, a team with a chance to compete in the near future, a team that needs alot of rebuilding/owner work)
I am willing to take over any team. Competing is a thrill, but I personally have fallen in love with the art of a rebuild. My first league I joined in 2010 was a 14 team league where I was an expansion team where you kept 10 players....finished last first two years badly. but made some great moves (first draft pick i made in that league was Carlos Gonzalez), i stashed away harper, trout, got goldschmidt, and desmond, had bumgarner and strasburg, and basically dominated the league from 2013 til the league collapsed in 2015, and that process was the most fun I've ever had in fantasy sports. I like the long play (one of my favorite games is CIV if that gives you and idea haha). So really any team I'll take.
Longer Answers...
1. We play in a total franchise league (Read the rules in the rules section to get an idea of how we play)... What would be your general game plan while running a team in this league?
I've read through the constitution and think I have a good grasp of the rules. I like Roto a lot more than head to head. A lot of my strategy will depend on if I'm competing or rebuilding. One thing I immediately thought of was the fact saves and holds are separate categories. My general startegy woild be to get relievers who are second or third in line for saves at the beginning of the season, get holds up , and then hope they become closers at some point or trade for closers mid season from non-competing teams to build that category. (Im sure I'm the only one in this league to think of that strategy =P)
2. This is a league with 15 teams in it, and as such it can be expected that there will be a rather large number of teams that will not contend every season. Would you be ok with building for the future? Do you need to always be in competition in order to remain interested in the league?
As stated above, totally fine with rebuilding and not competing for a few seasons. will definitely still remain interested
3. Any other information you think we as a league should know in order to best determine your eligibility?
I think I've gotten most of my quirks outlined. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
4. Please post some online history (this is a security measure to ensure that there are no duplicate owners). Examples : your Facebook page, your twitter account, any other leagues you were in... Urls are fine here. If you prefer to keep this information private please send one of the Admins a message with these details.
