Fantasy Baseball
I am looking to get away from playing in the minor leagues as far as Fantasy Baseball goes. After two years of dead Yahoo leagues, I would actually like to play in a league that every team plays until the end. Anyone have a good recommendation on an online league? I have played in ESPN's football leagues for a couple of years, so I was thinking about just joining up into one of those. Thanks in advance!

Maybe someone will get another TFP league going again this year. It was pretty competitive all year even though I got screwed at the end! OK, I didn't really get screwed, but I thought I had a team I could win with. Oh well.

I'd join that league. Never played in the ESPN baseball league [but have done football], but if people are paying for it they will be competitive unlike the yahoo leagues--I'm sick of it as well!!

I have found, rounding up your friends or coworkers is the best way to go. If anyone starts slipping, you can bother them until they get back in. Its fun to be able to talk smack in person too.

i agree with Bobaphat... I've played both public and private leagues all over the place and have found that private leagues with irl friends are the best! The unfortunate side effect (or fortunate for most people) is that I ended up talking baseball all the time and consequently, pissing off my significant other (she's obviously not a baseball fan)

Pay leagues are really the only way to go in my opinion anymore. The reason I tried Yahoo was to get my feet wet in baseball. I'd love to join in a TFP league if one forms up this year. Otherwise, i'll let yall know if I join up in a league somewhere, maybe we can fill up a league ourselves.

I run two leagues on Yahoo...and everyone playes till the end each year. Good bunch of guys and I don't allow any flakes or managers that don't keep up with the league.
I also play in a ESPN league, actually any of their free ones are good and competitive. If you want I'll get a league together for TFP this season...but be warned .....I WILL KICK YOUR ASSES!!

Hal set up a baseball league last year also. It was a Yahoo league and it went really well. I PM'd him to see if he planned to do it again this season but havn't heard anything yet. If he doesn't and someone else wants to I'd be interested.

I'd definately be into a league. Having played alot of them the Yahoo style is the best available, and if set up and having the right people in it, it can run well and be alot of fun.
The problem with Yahoo, is that you have guys who register 100+ teams and only play with the teams they feel they can win with the rest are hung out to dry.
