Free Fantasy Baseball for FReepers: Any Takers for a 2nd League?

Yahoo! Fantasysports ^ | 2-28-2003 | unspun

This is an experiment, to see how many additional FReepers would like to play free fantasy baseball, since the first league is full!

The action is head-to-head, with lineups set weekly. Each week, a team is matched up with one other, and whichever is better in 18 categories gets a point for each category. The categories are set for balance and realism. I've got another league set up this way and players have big fun perennialy....

If you're interested, just join!

Yahoo will send you a confirmation with further details once you have completed the registration process. (You need a Yahoo account, which is pretty painless.)

If you want to know more, just post he here, or FReepmail me.

There will be a live draft, however if you're not free at that time, you can set draft rankings and Yahoo does a good job of selecting players for you, based upon it.

Ideally, we would have 18 teams.

Here's the catch: I think we should only proceed if we can get 12 players committed by the end of Friday, 3/7; that's one week from the date of this thread's posting. (But... if we don't get that many, I may have room in the other league I mentioned.)

Check that....I revised my team name to be "geographical" :snicker:

-Eric

But we've bumped repetitively before and haven't gotten anything like this surge...(?)

I feel like George Bailey at the end of the movie!

It's the only thing that starts with 'M' that I could think of!!!! I didn't think the McKinney's would have been appropriate.

:p

I wonder then, was Anymouse using us to make some kind of "funny?"

[unspun]

Not Missouri Mules? ;-)

Help RB name his team, everybody!
Minutemen?
M1's?
MasonMadisonMonroes?
Muckrakers?

...or, you could be the Moderates, if you like adversity!

[unspun]

Somebody tell me what really just happened! ;-)
