Fantasy baseball is stupid.

So I got roped into playing fantasy baseball for the first time. We just had the draft and I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.

Here is my team. I don't know how bad it is. There are ten teams and the scoring is 5x5 total points. I don't know how the scoring works besides knowing the standard categories. I need saves. Beyond that no idea.

Need to start C/1B/2B/SS/3B/3 OF/UTIL/6 P. I don't know how many SP/RP to use given the scoring. Anything else on who to start/sit/trade and what I still need would be super. Link to my team if you don't need to be logged in to see it is http://games.espn.go.com/flb/clubhouse?leagueId=165944&teamId=6&seasonId=2009

i don't know how your league works....but i for one HATED fantasy baseball last year when i tried it. it's just too much work. fantasy football is so much better cause youonly have to worry about one game a week. i actually have a life and i just couldn't be bothered updating my teams roster every freaking day.

they do have leagues that only allow weekly changes...

but yes, fantasy baseball is a lot of work. I loved playing it. It helped me stay closer to the game and made me appreciate more players. But I just dont have the time anymore to spend an hour each night pouring over stats.

Fantasy sports are awesome because it keeps you interested in every game. Do week leagues, not daily.

i love FF. maybe if i did a weekly head to head baseball league it would have been better. wasn't a fan of the roto scoring either....besides the daily bul****

I've been doing fantasy baseball for 15 years and grew tired of it (be it roto or H2H) so I decided to change things up.

We're doing a retro league and simulating it using Micro League baseball on my Commodore 64, using players from the 1986 season. Here's my roster (5x5 roto):

C - Gary Carter

C - Don Slaught

1B - Steve Balboni

2B - Juan Samuel

SS - Dick Schofield

3B - Jim Morrison

MI - Bill Doran

CI - Von Hayes

OF - Joe Carter

OF - Kevin Bass

OF - Andy Van Slyke

OF - Rob Deer

OF - John Cangelosi

U - Ken Phelps

P - Teddy Higuera

P - Tom Candiotti

P - Oil Can Boyd

P - Sid Fernandez

P - Joaquin Andujar

P - Floyd Youmans

P - Roger McDowell

P - Jeff Reardon

P - Steve Bedrosian

Wow. This list just gave me a flashback to my youth. Teddy Higuera was a Yankee killer.
