OSU Alumni/Fans 2009 Fantasy Baseball League - ScarletBuckeye

Horatio · 02-24-2009, 12:44 PM

Our friends and family leagues maintain a core of regulars, but not everyone plays baseball as much as football.
There are currently seven managers so we are looking to add a few more, ideally OSU alumni and/or fans.
We would prefer social and competitive people who will participate for the whole 22-week season (25-weeks including playoffs for top 6 teams) to make it fun for everyone.

It is a Yahoo!, 12-team, mixed, 5x5, Head-to-Head, weekly league (rosters due late Sunday night) with a few differences from the default setup.
We require 1 LF, 1 CF, and 1 RF instead of just 3 OF.
There are 2 more roster spots for pitchers and roles are specified as 4 SP, 3 RP and 2 P. The Yahoo default is 2 SP, 2 RP and 3 P.
The minimum innings pitched per week is 18. The Yahoo default is 7 IP.
There are 2 DL spots instead of just 1.

There is a $20 league fee, which will be 100% awarded.
There will be weekly prizes for Most Dominating Win and Most Points Scored In A Loss at $2 each.
The rest will be divided up as end of season awards at $80/40/20 for 1st/2nd/3rd and $12 for Regular Season 1st Place.

The live, online draft will be Wed Mar 18 7:00pm EDT.
If you are interested and/or have questions, please email me at centralohguy@hotmail.com
Thank you.

I'm already participating in too many leagues, sorry bud.

Understandable. I am only planning on this one league, and it's weekly at that. We figured weekly roster changes would be more entry level for those who don't want to commit to following it daily. Of course, some of us still do. ;) Perhaps the weekly setup is a big detractor for some folks.

I have also set up our league to use LeagueSafe.com so there should be no concerns about me making off with the winnings.

I'd consider playing but I'm horrible with fantasy baseball and wouldn't want to put $20 on it.

Also understandable. Most of the guys have already put in the 20 bucks and tend to enjoy a friendly wager, so I don't know that I could make an exception.
