Mecha Fantasy Baseball: Anyone interested in playing →[More:]After the fun time I had playing fantasy football against Metachat members, I was thinking of setting up a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league. Would anyone be interested in playing. There will even be some sort of reward.

I don't know jack about fantasy baseball, but, sure, I'll take a stab at it. I don't know jack about fantasy football either, and that was a good time.

Cool, I'm also going to post this to Metatalk to try to get a decent sized league.

I'd be down. I watch ridiculous amounts of baseball anyways...

The league number is 36210
the password to join is m3ch4

It's on yahoo, I'll post a link to join just as soon as I figure it out.

As far as the league settings/draft time I'm open to changing them depending on how everyone feels.

Ask Mecha: what should I name my fantasy-baseball team?

pokermonk = Wang Dang Doodles

I reserve the right to change my team's name several times between now and the start of the season.

I have no idea how this fantasy sport team stuff works. Anyone up for filling me in?

deborah, you pick players for your team (real-life players, that is), and you get points based on how well they play (in real-life). You can drop players during the season if they don't perform well.

I might do it. I tend to get too obsessed about the fantasy stuff, but I don't really follow baseball. However, I'm mourning the end of the football season, so I'm feeling like I need something else to be obsessed with. So, yeah, I might be in.

Hey drezdn, is it possible to change the draft time so that it's in the evening? Having it so early will eat up a big chunk of Sunday.

posted by mudpuppie 08 February | 15:00

Mudpuppie, sure, once everyone (or most people) are signed up I'll poll everyone to find out what time would work best.

What is the running back of fantasy baseball?

posted by pokermonk 08 February | 15:24

I think it would probably be Third Basemen, First Basemen or some outfielders.
