Quick Questions...
1. 29...too close to 30.
2. I live in Oman currently, but I'm originally from Alabama/Georgia.
3. My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves.
4. I was here when the league started up, but my life got a little hectic there for a bit. Now I'm settled down enough to put the necessary amount of time in.
5. Do you have and what are your: YIM? AIM? EMAIL? sojuandchitlins@gmail.com
Not as Quick Questions...
1. What experience do you have playing fantasy baseball? I was an avid Yahoo Roto guy for 5 or 6 years before getting into a dynasty league and slowly losing all interest in 12-team, one-season formats. I've been doing that league for nearly 3 years, so I guess I've been playing fantasy baseball nigh a decade.
2. How often are you available online to be contacted by your fellow owners in this league (trade talk and such)? All the time. I'm one of the most active owners in the other league I play in, and I'll bring that energy with me to this league.
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 really want to continue building the Atlanta Indians...I know I abandoned them, but I'm in a better place in life (not on the road in South America) and can give them the proper time necessary.
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? Keeping young, controlled talent is key. Having a balanced offense/rotation/bullpen is a continuous goal, but also maintaining a healthy farm system to bring up guys or trade them when injuries/needs arise is a must. I like to have most of my team within the 23-31 window. Having steady guys in their prime is reassuring and important for me.
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? I don't necessarily need competition to be interested in my team, but I'll remain competitive. I try to move pieces around and 'retool' more than rebuild. If my team does have a rough stretch, I'll try to build on my young talent with MLBer for prospect moves. Use those prospects to acquire young, steady talent.
3. Any other information you think we as a league should know in order to best determine your eligibility? I helped build the Braves (I also drafter Trevor Story...ouch) so I want another shot at making them a champion next year.
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.
