Eh, I'm interested. And I believe I know what I'm doing. I've won my fantasy league's title 2 out of the past 3 years. Slightly different league, though. Although I understand "traditional" fantasy league.

I'd be interested but probably not for much over 14 teams. That gets to be less fantasy baseball and more "nightmare baseball. As in, "Alex Cora is my second baseman......and I'm happy about it. Nooooooooooooo!". Sorry Red Sox fans! I like a few more than just 5x5, but 10x10 you may end up basically repeating catagories. What about 6x6 with OBP and Holds? Adding batter K's really makes you think long and hard about drafting guys like Dunn, Glaus, Soriano, Thome, etc. Replacing pitcher K's with K per 9 is a better way of valuing strikeout pitchers, although I feel K's are overblown in importance. My regular league has doubles and triples as well. (Another way overvalued stat is the homerun in my opinion, devaluing doubles hitters.) At any rate, I'd be interested in a 12-14 team league with SOME stat variation..........

I'd probably include CS... just so you have to pick efficient players who steal, not just players who have a lot of attempts *coughJUAN PIERREcough*

Would anyone be up for joining a Yahoo! Baseball League

If so what type of format would everyone want? regular 5x5?

Or I made a league last season that was 10x10, using OPS, Ks, Walks things like that... only problem was not many people knew what they were doing (had 20 teams) so I won pretty easily
Count me in 12 - 14 teams sounds good

I'd also like to get into this league, provided that it's not too large. As was previously posted, I think that 14 teams is plenty.

I'd like to get in. I'm nobody on this board, but I promise you I will participate no matter if I'm first or last.
I usually do 12-14 teams a year on yahoo and Sporting News. Last year I won 2 leagues and finished top 3 in 7.

I like 12 teams, 25 man rosters, and 5x5 roto. With too many categories it becomes more luck than skill.

I have now joined and there are a whopping 5 teams. Still a month before the draft, though. Good luck to everyone that is in.

I guess I shold've checked here first because it will not let me join due to being in a different league already. I guess I could always create another yahoo account. Any advice here?

Hey, the more the merrier right now. If you want to play, make a new account. If you don't want to play in this league, don't. Was that good enough advice?

I'm in, I will not be able to make the live draft due to living in Sydney, Australia - time differences !!! I will pre-rank. I never seem to get my pre-ranking right anyway.

Thanks
