Single year auction league, sabermetric format

[arneolson]

Need a few owners to complete a single-year, NL-only league at http://www.mendozabaseball.com. Mendoza is the most advanced format in fantasy baseball. It has intricate, but intuitive sabermetric scoring rules (think "Baseball Prospectus") and an e-Bay style live auction that is exhausting but also totally exhilirating. Other Mendoza leagues also have a realistic keeper system with reserve clause and arbitration simulator, but the Mike Morgan Redraft League was set up by veteran Mendoza owners who enjoy buying a new team each year.

This is a great way to get your feet wet in the Mendoza format with no ongoing obligation. You can take a guided tour of the format here: http://www.mendozabaseball.com/tour/index.asp and when you're ready to sign up go here: http://www.mendozabaseball.com/paypal-signup.asp and click an expansion team in the Mike Morgan Redraft League. Also feel free to e-mail me at arneolson@yahoo.com with any questions.

I was interested til I saw it costs $80.00 to be an owner.No Thanks.

The league fee is $30, which goes towards stats service, web hosting, etc. We do ask for an $80 deposit, which covers your league fee and gives you a $50 credit in the auction. You bid real money in the auction, and all the payroll money goes into a pool that is divided up among all owners. So you're out $30 to start with, but from there you can make or lose money depending on how wisely you spend in the auction.

We're up to 9 owners now, and are looking for 12-14 to make a deep, competitive NL-only league. Give us another look, you won't be sorry.
