If there's enough interest (at least 6 but preferrably at least 8 teams) I'll start a FWM.com league like we did for football. Fantasy baseball is much more in-depth, though. You pretty much have to monitor your lineup from day to day and adjust accordingly.
Anyways...who's down?
TEAMS:
1.) Fleek (team name TBD)
2.) MrSpall (team name TBD)
3.)
4.)
5.)
6.)
7.)
8.)
9.)
10.)
11.)
12.)
13.)
14.)
PS...Whether or not we play for $$$ is up to you guys so when you post, please indicate whether or not you'd be up for a $5 or $10 entry fee.

I would try this. I've never played before, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Must seek redemption after poor finish in football.

It's way more involved but it's also more fun, in my opinion.

Involved works for me. I can't count the number of times I'd get to work on a Wednesday or Thursday, boot up my computer go to the football site and just stare at my team, wishing there were something to mess with. The baseball thing looks like I'll be tweaking it daily.
Good times.

Exactly. I love fantasy football but you pretty much set your line-up once per week and that's that. You can waste hours upon hours forking around with fantasy baseball.

Too much effort required and I'm too lazy.

I'm in if it's weekly lineups, otherwise too much effort. I'd even do something like M-Th and F-Su lineups if that's possible.

You can set your line-ups in advance. Just be cautious because even though it says a pitcher may pitch on a certain day, things change and you'll be screwed for that day if you have him starting and he gets bumped in the rotation.
Hell, you can set rosters a month in advance..
That being said...please don't join if you're not 100% committed. "Dead" teams can kill a league.

Dang, this had potential to be fun. Think I'll try one of the public leagues anyway.

Wait a sec...I'll keep this league, change the name and turn it into a public league.

The league is now called...
"WINDY CITY FANS LEAGUE"
...and it's open to the Public. If you know any Cubs/Sox fans that are into fantasy sports, let them know.
