The start of Spring Training means the 2012 season is getting closer which means if you're serious about fantasy baseball you've already started doing your research and compiling your draft list in anticipation of sitting through two-to-three hours of a nail-bitingly tense draft which is usually delayed slightly by the one guy who doesn't show up and forgets to set his status to draft players automatically. I don't like that guy. But there's one in every draft. We've discussed the best Washington Nationals to take if you're interested in having a Nat on your fantasy team and our friend bluelineswinger from FantasyInfoCentral.com provided some more suggestions with their Projected 2012 Overall Rankings. We are planning on running a few Federal Baseball fantasy leagues though we may need some volunteer managers. What follows is some copy from Yahoo! Sports on what they're offering in this year's edition of their Fantasy Baseball leagues...

+2, My brother and I are in if we want to set one up.
I know jeff550 has another one going in the Fanposts two, but we ended up with more than one last season two. So I’m in, + brother = 4 if you want to manage it, FS’05.

MOAR SEVERINO!
I'd like it if this were set up as an HTH under the rules of last year's HTH.
I followed that, though I didn’t play, and it looked like the kind of structure I’d like to play in.

The one that I was in with all the extra players and stats?

It had extra players and extra stats, yeah, dunno if it was yours.
Stats, IIRC, were AVG, OBP, SLG, HR, SB, RBI (hitting) and W, ERA, SV, K, WHIP, HLD (pitching)
Positions IIRC were the starting 8 position (including the OF positions being differentiated), plus OF, MI, CI, 5 SP and (some number) of P. There might have been a Util spot too. 5-man bench, multiple (somewhere between 2 and 5, think it was 4) DL spots.

I think it was, I'll set it up and then ask for suggestions via the league

the rotisserie league had almost those stats.. 2 utility spots though
I’m sad that nobody wants to play that league :(
I actually do prefer the rotisserie style, so if there's enough people for two leagues...
I’d go back to last year’s.

yeah, I'll do it
roto league – What’s a good night for a draft? I forget what we did last year.. weekend maybe?
Per sully’z complaintments, I think I will drop the number of roster slots by a few.. perhaps drop the utility slots and a catcher slot from last year. Even if we have 15 teams again, that would make the draft a bit less deep. We could additionally cut the MI and CI spots no problem, if we do have a large number of teams.
Love to play again
Enjoyed the roto league last year but down for anything. Just let me get the info for whatever league. Thanks.
And for all concerned, we won't be doing any more of the Yahoo! sponsored posts...
But I’ll keep this post updated and maybe put up a fanpost to keep this thread reachable while we sort out the number or leagues, rules, etc.
