The concept is simple. I want managers to have some connection with their fantasy baseball teams. Last year I had managers choose their home team and then placed every player from that team onto their roster. The remaining players were then drafted based on the previous seasons records. ie. Yankees got last pick. It was 3 picks per round and message board based with 24 hours between rounds. Surprisingly this league was not unbalanced. A manager with the Padres was in contention late into the season. While the Yankees manager was way behind by the all star break and quit playing.
So with a 2nd go around with this concept. I am opening another league with some fixes for some of the problems that occurred last season. Those changes will be to make the league head to head (to keep the league competitive longer) and draft the remaining players based on preseason team rankings. ie. ESPN rankings. Last seasons records is not the best way to gauge a team for this season. The Astros would be a team in decline and the Tigers would be a team on the way up based on off season transactions. This will fix the problem of managers jumping on teams that are lower ranked than they should be.
I'm looking for around 12-16 managers. The league will most likely be 5x5 based with a minimum innings pitched per round. I will post further details on the league message board as managers join up. Remember only 1 manager per team so reserve your team. Once a team is picked all those players are off limits except via trade. Btw, the Astros are taken. 😉
