Of course not. i guess he's agreeing to this, so whatever, but what the f? i've been dropping players left and right to make sure my roster is legal. i'd have like to kept cruz and left my roster illegal for a few days...or street...or dempster...or sizemore. are we just scrapping roster rules at this point?

here's an issue i have with the "can't keep someone you pick up once the playoffs start" rule. i have a ton of injuries. i may need to drop one of my injured guys to have a full lineup should i make it to the next round. now if i drop josh johnson or somebody so i can maintain a roster, i should be able to pick him back up (assuming nobody else grabs him first) and keep him if i want. if i wasn't in the playoffs, i wouldn't care about keeping a full roster, so i would just have a bunch of injured guys in my active lineup and it wouldn't matter. but i shouldn't be at a disadvantage as far as keepers go just because i'm in the playoffs. i think you should be allowed to keep anyone who was on your roster at the end of our regular season. i.e. if i drop jimmy rollins then pick him back up in a week or whatever, i should be allowed to keep him. this doesn't give playoff teams any advantage over teams out of the playoffs as far as keepers go. thoughts?

you always feel good going into the playoffs with half your offense consisting of jemile weeks, mark trumbo, james loney and emilio bonifacio. i'll go to battle with those guys any day of the week. injured list now includes hanson, josh johnson, rollins, cruz. yikes.
-
so should rodelo be allowed to keep capuano? he picked him up in the middle of last week (the last week of the regular season) when he had no chance at the playoffs. that's no different than him picking him up today. the easiest way to do it is to just let anybody pick up/keep anybody they want.
-
yes
-
Actually you had 3 more points than him for the season looking at the standing right now and was 3rd in the league in points. you're right. man, i'd be feeling real good about my chances if i was heading into the playoffs with the league's highest scoring offense and a 1-4 of lincecum, josh johnson, hanson and kennedy. instead, hey let's see what randy wells can do.

That's my recollection too. that's not my recollection at all. i mean, i think it's kind of a dick move to pick up FA that are actually playing right now if you're out of it, but i don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. and if someone drops someone you'd want to keep, i don't know why you shouldn't be able to. I know we had the discussion last year, I just have no idea what the ruling on it was. I think we had said there was to be no picking up players if you were out of it but I could easily be wrong. this was the result of what has come to be known as the great eric young jr debate. much drama was involved. i think anybody should be able to pick up anybody and keep anybody. the problem with saying you can't pick people up when you're "out of it" is lots of teams have been "out of it" for weeks. rodelo just picked up capuano last week for some reason even though he's out of it. i kinda would have liked to pick him up, but i don't think i have any right to him over rodelo. if i dropped tommy hanson today because i was sick of his injury problems, nobody could pick him up and keep him? that seems dumb.

sucks for RWD...most points in the league and out of the playoffs. can't believe i pulled that off.

you're up 28!
-
yeah, someone let me know if someone dies from the hurricane. until then, i'm going to bitch about all the games i'm missing.
-
i might end up having the best offensive week ever for a losing team. friggin' RWD's pitchers are on fire. farnsworth hurt i guess? [expletive].
-
i'm not whining, weirdo. it's a discussion about the rules.
-
I remember you having a different opinion on this when I finished with far more points, but you beat me in the finals. if you had the most points, you had the best team. doesn't mean you automatically win the title, of course.
-
lol "attack." you've "attacked" me 100x more than i've ever "attacked" you on this board. anyway, bye. seems like a weird thing to quit a fantasy league over, but oh well.

It makes it dumber using division record as a tiebreaker. I don't really see how it would effect H2H. You either play a team once or twice during the season. How does an unbalanced schedule effect H2H? Like I just posted though I would like to see a balanced schedule. instead of h2h being based on two weeks (which is already a very small sample), it could be based on one week (ie if the 2 teams tied only played each other once).
-
I do not understand why total points scored matters that much? This is a HEAD to HEAD league. You look to be just trying to find something else to bitch about as usual. you realize you bitch about me bitching far more than i actually bitch, right? don't do the thing brian does where everything i say turns into me being an [expletive]. i haven't been anything but civil in this entire thread.
-
also, with tootie losing this week, there is a chance of a 3 way tie for 2nd/3rd place. and if RWD would have scored a few less points in his game last week, there would have been the possibility that i could have finished with the most points of the 3 teams tied, but been left out of the playoffs. that seems like a pretty obvious flaw.
-
i'll also point out that the unbalanced schedule makes using h2h as the first tiebreaker even dumber.
-
and maybe the team with fewer points just had TWO huge weeks and they happen to come in the weeks they were playing the better team.
-
ugh, this is going nowhere. the team with the most points is the best team. it's math. i don't really understand the inability to comprehend this.

I think between two teams the first tiebreaker should be H2H and the second tiebreaker should be totals points in their matchups against each other. In three way ties go H2H if you can then go with total points. If H2H isn't your first tiebreaker then there really isn't any point of having a H2H league. this line of thinking makes no sense to me. it's a h2h league because we play each other every week. it's just as much a "points" league since that's how you win head to head matchups. So then what's the point? If it was a points league then the standings would be based on points, not record on H2H matchups. How can you call it a "win" in a H2H matchup if at the end of the season you throw that out and say even though you won the H2H matchup it doesn't count because your opponent that you are tied with scored more points during the entire season? To me, that makes no sense. and you don't "throw out" the win from the head to head matchup obviously. it still determines the standings. i just think it would be kind of silly for a team that outscores another by 700 points on the season or something to miss out on the playoffs because an inferior team luckily happened to have good weeks in 2 random weeks.
-
while i think it's dumb, i don't have a huge problem with h2h being the first tiebreaker. it's very stupid, however, for division record to even be a factor.
-
i like how much of the analysis is "he hit ___ homers last year, he's only hit ___ this year. LAZY."
