Anyone have any interest in a free fantasy baseball league made up predominantly or entirely of Wieners? I've had good luck with Yahoo's free league, but I'm open to any suggestion short of "Get Bent".
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.
After last year's 2nd place finish in a Wiener League, I feel I need to redeem myself, especially after doing horribly in the Wiener Football league last year.
Redemption for last year - man, April completely killed everything in there for me. Ever have your ENTIRE OFFENSE slump out of the gate? Happened to me.
('Course, sacrificing saves probably wasn't a bright idea, either.)
There are as many as 20 teams allowed, and I figure it's first come first serve, so there's room for everyone who's expressed interest so far. Figure 24 players a team, just like the real deal. Rotisserie scoring No max on acquisitions or trades. Five day waiver period, five days to protest trades Trade deadline on 8/24
And I figure all of MLB, and we'll go with the stat categories Yahoo gives us... [taker] If that's alright with you [/taker]
I guess the next step is to PM your email address to me so I can send you the password and all that junk.
Oh, and if someone else out there would rather be the commish, I'm by no means married to the role.
We definitely need to schedule a live draft, because of the depth of baseball teams, it's not like the 10 players for football fantasy drafts.. the late round jewels, the screwing the next guy out of who he wants.. we need it :)

I'm game for a live draft, if we can get everyone to pitch in for it. We still have six slots for other wieners who may want to play. If the roster isn't full by Friday, 5p Eastern, I'll go ahead and schedule a draft with who we have.
Originally posted by WhitebaconThe stat cats is why I un-joined the league; I thought that there were way too many categories to account for in a league this big.
Anyone else finding this to be the case? I'm trying to balance pitching and hitting as best I can, any suggestions?

Wow. That's one of the most amusing things that I've seen ever. Maybe a little too overconfident, no? (Of course, if he would've been right.... now we know baseball's not fixed for sure! ....Except for 1919.)
