Only if the MLB legalizes steroids...seems that is the only way they can make the newsreels. :smile

Thanks Tarheel, There are two teams now. It would be great to have 8-10 teams. Bro. Matt's going down this year

I guess I'll try to defend my title. :cool

[Pastorj]

You're going down this year. It's my 3rd season and I think I know what I am doing now.

Still only 2 signed up so far - the draft is this Friday at 11:00 pm est

We need more people to sign up for Fantasy Baseball. Last year was great time. Even if you have never done it before, it is easy to learn. It took me a couple months two years ago, but now it is a lot of fun.

[Pastorj]

Were up to 3. We could really use 3 or 4 more people.

How much time does it take and how hard is it to learn? :puzzled:

[Pastorj]

I usually log on 1 or 2 times a week to re-arrange my pitchers.

Each week, you have to win in 10 categories (5 pitching/5 Batting)

Some players focus on the batting while others go after the pitching. You can change players as often as you like. So if someone gets hurt or someone goes into a slump, you can change players. The regular season in our league is to learn how to play. Everyone makes the playoffs so you can take the whole season to learn.

The 10 categories are
Runs
Home Runs
RBI
Stolen Bases
Batting Average

Wins
Saves
Strikeouts
ERA
Whip (walks/hits/innings pitched)

So you want to pick players who will help you with each of these categories. I go heavy on he pitching to try and get more wins, saves, strikeouts. I pick HR hitters because they get HR and RBI's. I also try to pick at least 1 person who steals bases.

Hope that helps

Okay, I think I am in. We are the Thoroughbreds. I guess we'll bring up the rear in the league. :lol:

Welcome aboard. We could use two more people.
