is it better to draft early as possible in the live baseball yahoo draft?

No,draft as late as possible.Many season ending injurys happen in spring training.Trades also affect a players value,and many happen during spring training.We allways draft as late as possible to avoid these problems.\n\nYes,the date can be changed.The commissioner can change any setting up to the time you start your draft.

Yahoo is a really good site to play fantisy baseball because you can play in a public league or private. Also good ones are ESPN and SI.

It may be that the entire league isn't ready.  A similar thing happened to me in a head-to-head league, and it turned out that there were an uneven number of teams in the league, and Yahoo wouldn't begin the draft.\n\nBut other than that I can't help you, sorry.

The first 3 rounds are today noon ET on ESPN. This will go till about 8 but it depends on the time taken bettween picks.  Then the final 4 rounds will be Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM the shortage of time is because the picks are no longer as worthy so a shortage of time in between.

You're getting Vlad, Kearns, and Varitek who are good. I'm not too familiar with Ramirez and Moyer.  Vlad is better than Bay but Kearns isn't quite as good as Holliday. I would do it.  Also fantasy baseball is only a year long so who cares about the young kids get the old guys who produce good numbers

That's the basic idea. The thing is, we've found through usage stats and talking to a lot of our users, that getting everyone together for a draft isn't the easiest thing. That is, some people have computers, some don't, some are on conference calls, some like to just have pizza's together and a few beverages...and our live draft tool didn't cover those scenarios (everyone needs easy access to a computer).\n\nSo the offline draft tool is an easy way for users to enter draft results from one computer (the commish usually enters the draft results). We've updated the draft tool to be easier for the commish to enter players per team from a usability standpoint. But it's also been designed to help the commish track the draft as it's happening (instead of having to write the data down, then enter it, they can enter it). This supports the draft where there might be one screen projected on the wall while people eat and drink and work on their smack talk...

yes..you need a bat.  Any time you can get Tejada reasonably, I'd go for it. I feel it's a waste to use an early pick on a C. Pick 'em up and drop 'em. My current Cs are McCann, Willingham, Estrada, Varitek. They get injured quite often. Right now Napoli and Martin are hot. \nFurcal is only hitting .240 ..Martinez, last I checked was around.200..for a cleanup hitter like Miguel Tejada is a sweet deal.\nNow go and get the SBs you need. Maybe figgins is available!

There are various places you can search to find open leagues.  Far more are draft style rather than auction, however.  (I'm confused by what you mean by money draft (snake style).  A snake draft implies a draft, I read money drfat to mean an auction.)\n\ntry Yahoo Fantasy baseball:\n\nhttp://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can search for open leagues.  You could also establish your own league, with the rules you want, and invite others to join.\n\nThere are tons of fantasy baseball sites (Sportsline, Sporting News, Sandbox) and many have baords on which you could look for a league or invite others to join.  Look around.

I wouldnt take him in the draft. He is a big risk. Even if he does come back, nothing is guaranteed. With the time he has missed, there is no way he can put up the stats he did last year. Also, there are also others having great years, who are worth drafting.\n\nIF YOU WANT TO DRAFT HIM:\nThe only point in which its worth drafting him, is if you are completely confident with the team you have already. Which means you are satisfied with all your pitchers, batters and bench players. If not, Lee may be a waste of a good pick.

Better draft pick means BETTER

Assume it's a 5x5, 12-team league, this teams is pretty good.  I think you have advantages on categories SB, R and  AVG.  Pitchers are above average, they should be able to give you enough wins and saves.  It's a playoff team I think.

It wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't take him in the early rounds. If you can get a guy like Miguel Tejada or Michael Young early, you would be better off than taking a gamble on Kinsler.

seeing that we are talking baseball and not the military---The draft process does continue, although it is a stats and records process that ranks out teams and players in evaluation procedures---implementation of this process only occurs at the proper seasonal time for the formal roster alignments of the various teams

Drafting is good because everyone is in the same boat.\n\nAll have the opportunity to serve in some capacity.\n\nTrue, your birthdate will determine whether or not you are called up, but it allows for a better cross-section of society, instead of volunteers, which may not always be the best that you could get.

You get into a league that has an acceptable draft date and time for you.  \nYou draft a team using current NFL players.  At this point, you should have researched which players are most desirable to have on your team and which positions will grant you the most points (ex. RBs and WRs are higher priority than K, DEF, and even most TEs).\nAfter you have drafted a team, you select your starting lineup for the first week against your opponent.  Using the provided scoring system for your league, you try to pick who you believe will garner the most points for you in that week.  The team with the most points wins the face-off that week.  The second week, you go through the same thing, but against a different opponent in your league.  \nBYE weeks are in effect, which means that certain players will have one week off during the season.  This is crucial since you eed to have backups from your bench cover for your players at least once ... it is important to draft well and keep an eye on the waiver wire for available players (to add while removing players that you feel are not helping you win the games).\n\nSince this seems to be your first time playing, try to find a free league.  That way, you only lose games and not anything else ... like an entry fee.  If you don't like it, then at least you saved yourself a few bucks.\n\nCheck out NFL.com, Yahoo or ESPN for fantasy football leagues and read up on them to see if you like what you see from them.
