Fantasy Baseball league

Up for some Fantasy Baseball this year? I’m putting together a blogger’s league over on Yahoo and I’m looking for a few players.

The league will be a mixed league roto with a 5x5 scoring format with stats for R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, ERA, and WHIP. 21 man rosters with nine batting slots, five pitchers, and a DL slot. We’ll do a live draft online using Yahoo’s draft tool in a few weeks.

I plan on whipping up a little league stats widget that we can put on our blogs to show of how poorly our teams are doing.

Interested? Leave a comment or email adam at kalsey.com.
