I consider myself to be a "fantasy gamer" and play primarily on Yahoo. Each year I get in leagues with friends and a public league or two, and I find them a lot of fun. I, too, get frustrated by inactive owners, and feel they are the one thing that truly hurts a league and its active owners.
I've always been intrigued by keeper leagues, but the only ones I've found have been pretty expensive and I wasn't sure I wanted to throw down that much money, when I could instead buy into a league that rewarded cash or prizes for doing well.
I generally don't play for money, but if I am going to spend money, it's nice to have a shot at winning something..
I get the general idea of your league, and how it will work, and it seems like a nice change, and like it could be a lot of fun.
I'd be interested, and if you need any help running things I'd be willing to offer my services so that you aren't bogged down with excessive work.
Also, feel free to Email me (Grondar@GMail.com), or contact me via PM's. I'm also on AIM; my screenname there is also Grondar.

I suggest,
1) online, with the internet as it is and chatrooms we could have an instantaneous conference without having to meet.
2) We would use Yahoo, ESPN, whichever the owners vote on. I prefer Yahoo myself.
3) The buy-in price would just be whatever we decide to pay the commish/ #of owners, the optional trophy and if we want to get like a web page (I'm not computer literate, but I'm sure we can find someone on here to set us up a page that would list F/A / drops / who has what kind of money left / etc. (All moves (drops, trades etc) would be sent to the Commish who would update the page and $$ once a week)
I think there are services that do this and we could vote on taking one of them, if we can't find a commish or webpage. I'm thinking we may be at anywhere between $25 -50 / owner/ year, not bad really (and that's if we get a trophy).
I appreciate your questions and offer to help Grondar, I'm sure your help will be needed.
I just think this gives the serious baseball fan total control (except the actual playing) and takes out all the "if only the Cubs had signed this player... or traded that one." With you as GM/Owner you make all those calls. You maybe out in July but see the Phillies have a great 1B in their farm system that will be coming up in the next season so you trade a high salary guy for him.
