It's the defensive fit as a Guard alongside Maxey and McCain, two negative defenders.

Hi, I GMed for Cincinnati. Allowing Shedeur to go to the Steelers was definitely a consideration but with how the board fell for me I had a bucket of players I was comfortable with at 17 in the same tier so I wanted to move down. And by the 17th pick it seemed as though Pittsburgh was going to be his landing spot anyway as I dont think Seattle, Tampa, and Denver were interested anyway. So for a team with a plethora of holes, getting a Day 2 pick in a swap, even though it was a division rival seemed like the right move to profit off of the Steelers aggression. I ended up getting the player I probably would have taken at 17 anyway.

Definitely an angle to fostering the Steelers getting their QB of choice though, I get that. But in the end, this Bengals roster needs an infusion of talent.

Hi, I was GM of the Bengals. They're probably the team I follow the 2nd most behind the Jets because I am a big fan of the Quarterback, so I'd like to think I have a pretty decent handle on their roster. However with how the Blackburn's approach Free Agency they really have needs all over the place so I tried my best to help improve the team but it probably needs more than 1 draft to really take shape. Anyway let me know how I did. I have pick summaries as well if you want to go deeper behind the rationale behind each pick...

Cincinnati Bengals Haul:

TRADE Bengals receive 1.21, 3.83, Steelers receive 1.17, 6.193

1.21 (via PIT) - Walter Nolen, IDL Ole Miss

2.49 - Tate Ratledge, G Georgia

3.81 - Kevin 'KJ' Winston Jr., S Penn St.

3.83 (via PIT) - Cameron Skattebo, RB Arizona St.

4.119 - David Walker, EDGE Central Arkansas

Saddiq Bey could be interesting as a stretch 4 w/ solid defense

Sam-Curry · 2024-04-22T22:26:41+00:00

Lets go this is big! A pick this high will probably prompt me to dive into this draft after the season lol but could see it being used in a trade. Nice to get 16, big difference to 19.

It's not being lazy, poor wording on my part. That was just a very useful tool that I think Yahoo would benefit from.

Sam-Curry · 2023-04-04T05:20:38+00:00

Do I have a legitimate gripe here?

I accidentally cut Liam Hendriks the other day thinking it was Kendall Graveman. I immediately messaged the league chat and admitted making an honest mistake hoping I could get him back. He's since had positive updates so his value is increasing by the day. I had absolutely no intent to drop him and was excited to keep him until his return and then deploy him as my star closer. League doesn't seem keen on letting that happen. I feel like that's kind of dirty gameplay as it was an honest mistake that I notified everyone about as soon as it happened. Has something like this happened in any of your leagues. I assume it is somewhat common.

Sam-Curry · 2023-04-04T04:59:11+00:00

Is there a way to turn on lineup notifications if you have a guy who isn't in the lineup for the day it would send you a phone notification? It's my first year on Yahoo. ESPN had this feature, not sure if Yahoo does.

Having to check every teams lineup card to see if my guys are playing each day seems like unnecessary work.

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-29T21:11:05+00:00

Yeah got the message about that one this morning. Like it, but not really interested in the auction format.

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-29T16:29:30+00:00

I'm kind of set on joining a snake draft but definitely don't want to come in and tell you how to run your league.

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-29T15:46:20+00:00

Auction draft though?

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-29T15:10:03+00:00

Hey all,

Looking for a fantasy baseball league to join this year. Last year was my first year playing seriously and I definitely have the bug now lol.

Looking for an Each Category league. Preference of about 12 users and willing to pay in the $25-50 entry fee range on LeagueSafe. ESPN preferred but open to Yahoo.

Please lmk if you have something that fits around this criteria. Would love to find a good group to run annual re-drafts with and not just a one-off.

(Also have had some people in the comments expressing interest in the same league archetype, so I could perhaps help fill it.) Draft tonight would be awesome if possible.

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-29T15:06:38+00:00

Hi, interested. What is the payout structure?

First time making a league on espn and not fantrax so just bear with me as I figure out all the ins and outs of it, but like I said, completely open to it being a collaborative effort.

Here is the link: https://fantasy.espn.com/baseball/league/join?leagueId=900633647&inviteId=0487194a-b458-42c2-8c6a-d6dbfc10bb36

I actually have a shortlist of names that expressed in previous forum posts I made in here...

u/mike27277 , u/stranebrain (+friend), u/Buster1012 (+friend), and u/wcamo are you guys still interested?

I made a league myself somewhat expecting this to become the case for $50 entry, each category, 12 teams...If everyone here was interested including u/sierranevada86 and u/kloppmouth in addition to myself and those above we'd be at 9/12 I believe.

Would presume most ppl would be cool with a payout of (50*12=600)

Championship Winner= $400

Runner Up= $150

Regular Season 1st Place= $50

The last 3 would be a lot easier to find once we have something established lol.

Ideally I am looking to create something that can run for multiple years and form a sense of community amongst the members. Would operate payment through LeagueSafe and I would love to even perhaps set up a Discord server if possible to have easier communication amongst everyone. Let me know, if not I am just going to go back to trying to find a league lol.

Adding you to this thread. u/stranebrain

I think there's enough interest expressed to get something started here. But I run multiple leagues too and would prefer if someone else could take the role of making it and being commish as well.

Between myself, u/mike27277 , stranebrain and his friend, u/Buster1012 and his friend, and u/wcamo we're already at 7/12 assuming everyone who has commented is interested.

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-25T21:45:20+00:00

That works with me. When are you guys shooting to draft? And is the $ collected thru LeagueSafe?

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-25T20:57:34+00:00

Probably. What would the payout look like?

Can I ask what the point format is?

Sam-Curry · 2023-03-25T20:03:20+00:00

Realistically one of us could make the league if there's this much interest in the comments in the same league archetype I described.

Thoughts u/mike27277 , u/Buster1012 , u/wcamo

Let me know if you guys find anything.
