Fantasy Baseball opening(s)

[Drew]

I have a long standing fantasy baseball league for which I'm looking for either 1 or 3 new teams. We've had a few deflections in the last 2 years (children are largely to blame) and went from a long time 10 team league to 8 last year and are currently at 7. Would love to get back to 10. 

 

5x5 (OBP, HR, R, RBI, SB / W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP)

 

2 player keeper (first year kept is a 1 round raise, 50% of the rounds for the next 3 - so 20th round drafted can be kept for 4 years = 19th round/9th/4th/2nd)

 

$100 via leaguesafe. 

 

Good group of guys, mostly Twins fans, 1 Rockies fan. Live online draft tentatively scheduled for 3/24. Let me know if anyone would like to play.

How many hours a week do you spend on fantasy baseball?

How many hours a week do you spend on fantasy baseball?

 

Maybe 1 or 2 at the most. I set my lineup twice a week and check the waiver wire a few times a week. I check my score every night but that's mostly because I'm already watching baseball and staring at my phone anyway.

 

If you didn't watch any baseball it would be tough, you want to be aware when your guy goes on or comes off the DL and to know when the "next big thing" is being called up to the show.

I am in my 50s and never played. I have been reading up on it on different sites. I think I would have to know someone personally doing it. Do you have trades that can be vetoed by the others?

 

What are the free sites like?

Give one of the free sites a shot. ESPN and Yahoo are both good and if you don't dig it you're not invested. I find it gives me a reason to pay attention to the whole league and if the Twins disappoint (impossible!) I still have a reason to feel invested in September. 

 

We do commish only vetoes because in my experience other owners veto a trade if it's going to make a good team better. We have a keeper league so an owners motivations can vary depending on where you are in the standings (I might trade a stud for a prospect to keep the following year, for instance)

I like losing money!
