Anyone ever done a fantasy baseball league before? I was think of maybe setting up a rotisserie style one if there is enough interest. What do you guys think?

I might get in on this.

I have run a 10 team H2H Fantasy baseball league for several years, I have also played roto style several times. I would be interested in playing and can help with the league set-up, if required.

Awesome, how many people do you usually have for a roto style? We are up to 4 and counting

Once you start a fantasy brewing league I'll be in, but I have no time for such fanciful delights like sports.

Anywhere from 7 to 16, the roto set-up lends itself better to odd numbers as you are just trying to "win" categories. I have generally played 5-5 roto leagues, which are normally 5 batter categories (AVG, RBI, SB, R & HR) and 5 pitching categories (W, IP, SO, ERA & Saves). Sometimes the categories are different, like WHIP for pitchers or Total Bases for batters for example, but the general idea is the same. The more your players excel at the different categories, the more points you get.....you can be very good at 7 categories and be awful at 3 categories and still win, so there is some interesting draft and team management strategy involved.

Cool, I think we are up to 6 now so spread the word

Write up a spam pm and I'll send it out if you want.

Road trip to Montreal for the draft perhaps......just spitballing ideas.

Just noticing this now, I've been playing Yahoo baseball for 14 years now and love to be in on this.

I'd like to take a virtual crack at the old bat as well.

Excellent. I believe we now have enough to get this going. Chicanuck, do you want to set this up? If not I could do it.

Do you want to set-up a Yahoo or ESPN league (or other)? I am a commish for leagues on both websites, I like the ESPN site a little better but they both have pros and cons for free hosting leagues. All the players will have to become members on the website (Yahoo or ESPN), if they are not already. After the league settings are in place, we just send out the invites via email, the players follow the instructions to sign up......then we pick a draft date, which I would suggest next Sunday night as the regular season starts on March-31 (minus the aussie games).

Either league is fine with me. Most of the people participating are first timers so standards settings would be best, nothing too fancy.

Ok Gents, if anyone is interested I set-up a Brewnosers Fantasy Baseball League on http://www.espn.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. If you want to play, you just need to PM me your email address and sign up on espn.com to create a free account. I will send you an email invite that explains the registration procedure, it is pretty simple.

In talking with Liverdance, my understanding is this will be a free, fun league to give any novices to fantasy baseball a chance to learn the game. If we want to put some beer on the line for bragging rights, all the better.

This is a rotisserie style scoring league, which means we compile the real stats from our fantasy drafted players and the stats are ranked by category on how well or how awful the players on our team are performed against each other. Here are the simple league rules and I can provide any further details you want, it is really not that complicated once you start playing:

Roster: 18 Starters, 4 Bench, 1 Disabled List = 22 Active Players on the roster

Positions: C/1B/2B/SS/3B/OF/OF/OF/UTL (Batters).....9 Pitchers (any combo of starting or relief pitchers) = 18 starting players

Scoring Batters: AVG/R/SB/HR/RBI

Scoring Pitchers: ERA/WHIP/SV/K/W

Transactions: Waivers for 24 hours, unlimited Trades with 4 votes required for veto, Aug-29 is the trade deadline

Online Draft: Sunday, March-23 at 9:00pm AST (you can auto-pick if you would like and pre-rank your players or picks per round)

If you are interested or have any questions, let myself or Liverdance know.

Mr x can you send out a mass pm out of what Chicanuck has put together here?

I'll try to get that tonight or tomorrow.

no worries brother, you do more than enough around here

Three leagues is enough for me this year. Maybe join you guys next time if I can dump one or two of the others.
