Fantasy baseball league for (mostly) new players?

Do any of you plan on using stat tracker? It's pretty good I like it.

 

I do b/c I sit at the computer all day at work and can click over and see how my guys are doing. Plus, buy it once and you get it for all of your Y! baseball teams (if you have more than 1).

In fact, I think if you add a player after midnight Eastern, but before midnight Pacific time, it will be reflected as if it was made the day before. For example, if Friday at 12:30 am Eastern, I drop a player and add a different one, that added player will show up on my team Friday, as if I had added him Thursday. I'm pretty sure Y! uses Pacific time to determine what time transaction take place.

You're right about that. Since Yahoo does use Pacific time, you added the player at 9:30 P.M. Thursday, so the player is available on your roster for Friday games. If you add the player after midnight Pacific time on Friday, he isn't available until Saturday (on the flip side, you'd still have the player you dropped available for Friday's games).

 

I noticed that.

 

I also noticed something funny. When I go to "my team" on it's main page it shows what my guys got for that day. Even just a couple hours after the game. However when I go to "matchup" it still shows what they did for 1 day ago. Sometimes it seems to even stretch almost past 24 hours ago. It takes a looooong time for "match up" to update.

 

But it's funny, if they already have the results "computed" in "my team". . Then why can't they just update it into "match up". Weird. .

 

The stats in Matchup show you your totals for the week, up to that point. Every morning, they will be updated with the prior day's stats. You'll notice that if you had a guy starting one day, but benched for a game the next day, the Matchup page will only include his stats for the day you had him starting - b/c the stats while he was on the bench don't "count" in the Matchup.
