For the last few years I have been playing this Fantasy Baseball game with some of my friends. I find that Fantasy Baseball is WAY to involved, but I do like baseball a whole bunch. This is a Fantasy Baseball game that does not require you to be too involved with it but still have fun. It supports an (unlimited?) well a lot of people since it is a salary cap type game. This means more than one team can have one player. In addition there is no complicated draft. You pick 8 players and you are all set.

The players change in value kind of like picking a stock. So buy low and sell high is the key. Invite anyone you want. There is a link at the bottom of this post.

In my experience, they have not spammed me at all, so I doubt signup is a problem with giving them your email as long as you uncheck the right boxes.

Feel free to PM me if you would like me to answer any questions.

Try it out. I bet you will like it if you like baseball at all.

Oh yeah - one more thing. You can buy trades in this league, but let's just all agree not to. You get two trades a week and as long as we are all doing the same thing, it is even and no one has to spend any money.

Looks cool, might give it a go... thanks.

Fat_Boy · 03-23-2004, 03:09 PM

Looks like a fun idea. Thanks for setting it up!

crewsor · 03-23-2004, 03:30 PM

I'll give it a go.

Jadey · 03-23-2004, 10:41 PM

I thought all players were available to everyone. Does it matter if someone else has a player?

Esen · 03-28-2004, 07:40 AM

Yea I think it does, becasue I cant select any of them, only very very few

Only thing that confuses me is that there are `100 s of them that are already picked, which makes no sence, not that many roster spots and teams

crewsor · 03-28-2004, 01:40 PM

Are you sure you aren't going over budget? You are only allocated 30 mil. initially for eight players.

Chauncey - I think crewsor has it right. The cap is $30 million but you are free to pick ony of them - as long as the total is below that level. If you pick Barry Bonds for almost $11 million, you only have 19 million for the remaining 7 players. I suspect that you have used all your money and it is not letting you spend more.

If you have any more problems, feel free to PM me and I can try and help.

Esen · 03-30-2004, 02:49 AM

Na, I still have like 20 million left
and I cant even get guys worth 500k

Mondak · 03-31-2004, 07:49 AM

Chauncy - if you want to PM me your password, I can log in as you and troubleshoot. The problems you are having do not seem to be something the rest of us have seen, so maybe I cna help.

What can I say, I'm a homer. The price is right, and I'm hoping they do well. That and the fact I really don't have a clue what I'm doing.

DOH, I should have kept quiet. Now look, he may be going D.L.

Mondak · 06-28-2004, 02:07 PM

If you had not noticed, the league is set up for season two which starts after the all star game. Looks like it is going to come down to the wire for a winner for season 1! Good luck all.

Mondak · 07-11-2004, 07:19 AM

Last day is today. Who is going to take it.

Also, remember, this thing starts over on after the break. Invite anyone you want to play for season 2

Mondak · 07-13-2004, 11:16 AM

Final Standings for season 1

Congrats to Kciuq1 and Crewsor for finishing in the top 5! Let's see how the next half ends up. We need to do the TFP proud and not let a non-tfp'er like Weiner Circle win again.

Season two starts Thursday! Everyone is welcome to join.

crewsor · 07-13-2004, 12:34 PM

Thanks Mondak. I'm getting ready to draft another team for half 2 right now. Hoping to do a little better now that I have somewhat a clue how it works.
