Does someone want to take over a fantasy MLB team?

A manager in our Clippers MLB league said he doesn't want to keep up with his team, and that I can look for a replacement manager.

Does anyone want to take over his team?  It's only the 2nd week of the fantasy season, so it's early.

I can use the Yahoo "Transfer Tools" feature to let someone take over.  PM me your email address if you're interested.

I'm gonna miss Basketball fantasy, but I don't know a damn thing about baseball, and I don't watch it...though Money Ball piqued my interest a bit...

MLB is simpler IMO.  Just look at the stats.  You don't have to look for context as much (as whether so-and-so is playing better/worse because of the system, or his playing time, or foul trouble).

The only context you need to apply is whether a hitter is an everyday player or not, or whether he rests more than others.

And for relief pitchers, how are they used.  Are they consistently the closer, or the set up man before the closer? 

Are you sure you don't want to try?  Money Mouth  (Because you said MoneyBall piqued your interested).

It's Yahoo.  But cmon Haro_78, join us.  Cool  We've had a good league going on its 5th year now, with mostly Clippers fans.  There are also 30 categories, so it's different.

OT, but what does your NBA league fantasy name "Go Home Blockheads" mean?  And the corresponding avatar?

No, it's a free league.

I was avoiding posting the roster, because it really shouldn't matter this early in the season, it's should be whether someone really wants to manage a team.

But, since you asked:

(FYI he won his matchup both last week and this week):

Blockhead is from Gumby. And I am simply telling my opponents to Go Away. I can take over the team if you can't find any takers. I only have one other fantasy baseball team, so I have some time on my hands.

Gpack or I can take over the team. Gpack is probably a better candidate since he doesn't have a Fantasy Baseball Team. (For the future- How about ESPN Fantasy Sports? Their scoreboard and waiver wire options are a lot better. Yahoo doesn't allow us to do waiver wire pickups for the same day).

Yahoo rules defaulboasts you can't.

Commissioner should be able to change it though.

What does that mean?  Autocorrect error?  I thought only Clipanswerman made those.

My autocorrect for this site is actually 1000% worse on this site only.  It actually autocorrects correctly spelled words into nonsensical phrases.  I don't remember exactly what I typed, but I'm sure it made sense.

Under Yahoo defaults, you  can't do it.  But commissioner can change it.

I sent you the invite.  Let me know if you get it, and once you're in.
