why do we need to open it up to outsiders?

I've never done a Fantasy Baseball league but I've always been curious. I've done football and actually was the commissioner of a league but baseball requires much more attention, right? That's really the only thing that keeps me from joining one.

I find fantasy baseball is the one sport that works best in fantasy,now at work they have blocked all fantasy sports......freaking IS geeks.

You can effectively manage a fantasy baseball team just by checking in once or twice a week, like you would for a fantasy football team. On the other board we've also talked about tweaking the rules so that it's not intimidating for people who don't check Rotoworld five times a day.

NYMR, I'm not planning on joining after all, no hard feelings, but I just don't have the time for an intensive league. But anyway, what I wanted to report is that every time I click on that link, it says I'm not a member of that league and so I can't enter. And I thought that was the link to become a member, so I wonder if other people are having the same experience and can't join.

i'm not sure and since i'm in i have no way of testing it, but the league ID and password should work. thanks.

try this link instead: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/ and then click on "join a league" under baseball 07 (not PLUS!) then click on "join custom" in the page that opens, and then it'll take you to the page below: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/register/joinprivateleague_league_select?.scrumb= wherein you input the league ID # and password.

Nymr83 Mar 01 2007 11:13 AM

too few teams, and i'd say 12 is too few for a league with all MLB players, leads to all-star rosters and does not reward people for their knowledge and ability to find depth. i consider 10-12 optimal for NL-only leagues and 16-18 for combined leagues...i've never done an AL league but i'd assume you'd want to keep those at 10 due to 2 less mlb teams. at the very least i'd like to get to 14 teams edit- mods, feel free to move this thread as anyone who logs on semi-regularly has probably seen it by now.
