How does one play Fantasy Baseball?

I know it has statistics's, but how does it work? Do you count up stuff? How do you keep score during a baseball game?

Besides how many runs, or wins, or losses. Someone, please help me out here...

That's a loaded question. Different leagues have different formats, but I suppose the most basic format is the 5x5 format. Basically you get points for each category based on your accumulating stats from your players. I would say the only way to learn fantasy baseball is just to join a league and you should be able to pick it up within days.

In my league I have 5 pitching and 5 hitting categories:

hitting:

Ag.

HR's

RBI

Runs

SB

Pitching

Wins

K's

ERA

Saves

WHIP

I will toss in a few others like Total Bases Shutouts and stuff every year, but the top ten ones are pretty much a given. I also set it to a minimum of 20 IP's per week, so one person cant hog all relievers for low era's and such.

I set up a head to head format, whoever wins the most categories wins the week. If I beat ya 6-4, thats the score and it gets added up until playoff time.
