Police The Snopesters Baseball League 2009

Pitchers and catchers are beginning to report, and spring is just around the corner. Yes, folks, it's time for season three of The Snopesters Baseball league, our fantasy league run by and for Snopesters.

Again, this year the league will be on Yahoo. I will be setting up the league shortly, and I'll let everyone know what the league number and the settings will be.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM or email me.

By the way, I used pretty much the same settings as last year. However, we could also go to a points-based league, if no one minds. Let me know what you think.

I've entered my new team Ball X. Hopefully they have the cojones to improve on last year's bronze.

Excellent.

By the way, have you ever thought about playing sim baseball? I have a league on What If Sports. Let me know if you'd like to try it. Plus, there's a thread here about it.

The Grounds Crew have signed up and are ready to draft. Thanks for doing this again DAnnino. I, for one, appreciate your setting up the leagues and the weekly updates.

How difficult is the SIM league? I could be interested if it is not a lot of work and research. Count me as interested if you are looking for managers.

All the best dude! Here's to a fun season.

Thanks for joining.

As far as the SIM, it's not hard. The draft would be rather similar to a roto, but with an eye toward filling the lineup rather than just for stats. Then, it would be up to you to keep track of your guys' stats throughout the season. I'd suggest going to WIS and getting a ten game Spring league, just to get a feeling for the system. And thanks for the interest.

The Black Sox are ready to stink up the league's second division, and otherwise prove that managing a baseball team is a foolhardy occupation.

Yahoo leagues are 12. We have five so far. And we'd love to have you join.

Oh, and I forgot to mention...it's totally free! What else can you find in this economic climate that's free, and has the thrill of competition? And the prize? Why, it's the people's ovation and fame forever! You can't beat that deal!

When I go to my profile on Yahoo Fantasy Sports, there is a shiny trophy indicating my prolific (spelled: l-u-c-k-y) skills in our football league. It was well worth the price of admission. Every time I go to that page, I can't help but to stare at that trophy. *sigh*

We still need some owners. Experience not necessary. It's a load of fun.
