Thumbs up Who wants to play Fantasy Baseball?

Ok, i have been trying to get a macosx.com fantasy baseball league together by asking in Herve's B&G but so far we only have 2 teams. I would like to see us get at least 8.

The price is FREE and time commitment is minimal. I would want to use an automated draft system so there is no time spent putting your team together unless you want to take the time to prioritize your draft lists. You only need to check in on your team once every couple of weeks once play starts to be considered active.

and it is easy to play. I have never played fantasy sports until this year and i won one of my football leagues and am currently in second place in one of my basketball leagues and i don't even follow Basketball. The site gives you enough stats that even those in other countries should be able to compete.

ok voice (were you the one person who already said yes?)

the people in Herve's are just the people that use macosx.com. You should find posts by moat of them other places. it is just a place to talk at a slightly slower pace than chatting. this makes it more difficult and easier, depending upon how you view.

It really is starting to take on the feel of a real bar or party. lots of people having little semi-private conversations that anyone can join in or ignore. Occasionally some big attention getting question or remark that everybody wants to be a part of.

if you haven't read my 1st post that started the whole thing, do so now. it might explain a little more. You might want to think of it as random thoughts and responses rather than a question and answer thread. just for fun. Like playing fantasy baseball. so do you follow much American baseball in Norway?

I've never seen a whole baseball-game. All I know about the great sport, I got from movies. Sports-stores suck here too, I have all the grear I need, but it was bought in Canada.

But hey, I started out with basketball here before it was anything, and now it's one of our biggest sports...the same could easily happen to baseball. Also, I have a dream about american football being a big sport here.

You know im in Ed. I certainly like the part about minimal commitment. But seriously, so how exactally does it work? Not like matters, I pick up stuff very quickly.

cool, that is at least 5 of us so far. 3 more and we can get going. actually i may spend some time tonight seeing if i can set up a league and everybody can join it with some general directions.

I love the idea of an international fantasy baseball league. the whole concept is too cool!!
