Join the Enworld Fantasy Baseball league

[Mark CMG]

Wow, that thing filled up quick. Good luck to all. I'm just happy baseball will be back in just 5 short weeks.

If you want to co-manage the Mountain Monsters, JC, drop me an Email and we'll figure out a way to do that.

You can always start another league... I'm sure there are several other ENWorlders that would be interested.

Mark: Thanks, man! I appriciate the offer.

lalato: True, true. Although I actually would have no idea what I was doing. I've never done any kind of fantasy sports thing, before. Just figured I'd throw my hat in the ring if there were any spots left to give it a shot.

I do have a question: How do these things work, anyway?

Welcome aboard. No need for knowledge since you will learn along the way as I will also. If I am not mistaken...

We rank the league members prior to the auto-draft and leave the chips to fall where they may for who will wind up on our team. Try to predict how severe injuries may be and who is in a slump, dumping low point players and picking up those who will benefit our team from active lists of free plauers. Make some trades along the way with other teams when we can find a mutually beneficial way to do so, and allow the stats of real world baseball to determine the points we get for our brilliance (which determines our place in the standings.) Winner gets bragging rights.

(To experienced players in this league - Have I got the gist of this?)

The draft will be an autopick draft.

In light of there being a second league, it's up to you, JC, whether to sign on as co-manager of the Mountain Monsters or field a team of your own.

nobody wants to use the msg board there?

 

[Krug]

I can increase the # of teams. Right now Max is 12.
It'll mean talent will be spread very thinly though. Up to the rest of you.

Ah, iiiinteresting.

I went ahead and signed up for the 2nd League. I figure I'll fight and die there to get the hang of things for now. I still appriciate the offer for a co-manage. Do these leagues work the same way for all sports? If I dig this I'll probably try football as well...

Best way to learn is to jump in with both feet!

I still appriciate the offer for a co-manage.

No prob and good luck!

I'm fairly sure that it is so. I think the level of complication goes up considerably when the draft is completely in the hands of the participants. I feel that the auto-draft probably levels the playing field between the differing levels of experience of the participants.

If I dig this I'll probably try football as well...

I may do that next time around also.
