Title: Fantasy Baseball League
Post by: dw on February 26, 2010, 12:43:32 AM

Is there enough interest in a Fairfax Fantasy Baseball League?  Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is free and easy.  Takes 10-12 people for a league. 

thoughts?

I'd like to try it out.  I've played football for several years now but have never tried fantasy baseball.  PLease keep me in mind.

I belong to several free leagues - ESPN, Yahoo, and CBS;  I am fine with any of them.

Yahoo is registering now but is limited to 10-12 teams (participants);  ESPN is open to any amount of teams;  CBS is also a limited number of participants.

ESPN has not yet posted their 2010 baseball challenge.

It's getting close to fantasy league time;  we need to decide what type of fantasy baseball league we want.  NOTE:  ESPN doesn't allow Vermont residents to win prizes (of course that only matters if you do REALLY well as compared to others in the NATION).

Free League:
Choices:  live draft or automated draft (live we pick a time to be there and/or you rank players and the auto pilot fills your roster);  automated draft - you rank your players and the computer program (ESPN) fills your roster.  In this type of fantasy league only 1 person can "own" a player.  Not sure what people know about fantasy leagues do won't go until a lot of detail unless needed.  There are customizable fantasy leagues or we go with basic categories that ESPN uses as defaults.

Baseball Challenge -  ESPNs baseball fantasy league where you set your team's lineup for that day;  if you don't change the lineup it stays that way for the next day.  Only players that play will earn points.  You can put anyone in your line-up but are limited to a salary limit.  Players aren't limited to one owner.  This type of fantasy baseball is easy and doesn't require changes being made daily.  (this is a free league, too)

I've done "free" automated leagues (football) in the past and had no problems.  That might be the most convenient trouble free way to go.
