Baseball season is a mere three weeks away, and faithful readers of this blog know what that means…it’s time to create my fantasy team! I’ll be playing in two fantasy leagues again this year, the “all-star” league and the “NL only” league. The All-Star league has 10 teams (up from eight last year) of 25 players each, and we draft from all of major league baseball. The NL only league has 9 teams (down from ten last year) of 40 players each, and we draft only from the National League. The NL league is the bigger challenge, and since we only alter our lineups once per week, it often gets overlooked in favor of my All-Star team, which is easier to draft and can be altered on a daily basis.
The draft for our All-Star league begins in 15 minutes. I haven’t done much research this year, but I’ve done well in the past, finishing 3rd, 3rd or 4th (can’t remember), and 2nd in the three years since Randy started the league. Hope I can put together a good team for 2004!
