This will already be the 4th season of LP Fantasy Baseball. Last year, uptown held off a late surge by yours truly to claim the title. The results were:

1st - Uptown ($1200)
2nd - TenBagger ($600)
3rd - Jamie217 ($300)

Format is the same as the past 3 years, standard roto 5x5 on yahoo, daily transactions, and a live snake draft tentatively scheduled for THURSDAY Mar 18 9:00pm EDT. $200 entry fee

Unfortunately there was not enough interest in the dynasty league so that has been cancelled.

We have 10 signed up so far on the yahoo site and several other people have mentioned interest so I'm sure we'll have at least 12. However, I would really like to have a more challenging, deeper league so 12-15 teams would be really nice. If anyone is interested or knows people that are interested, please posat here or PM me. Finally, everyone please make sure you are able to attend the live draft. I can change the draft date but I am going away on vacation the week of the 22nd and I have some other drafts going on right before the start of the season so I would really like to draft on the week of the 15th-19th.

I do not think a keeper league would work because the same people arent playing every year and its really not fun unless you are sure 95%+ of the people playing will play again the next season. I am in a competitive keeper league and its awesome but everyone has come back going on four years now. Also, in regards to auction vs standard draft, if we are going to do an auction I seriously recommend the league be moved from yahoo to cbs. I am not crazy about the yahoo interface to begin with but I also have heard that Yahoo doesn't show the auction prices once you have drafted. Obviously this is their first year offering the format so I am not sure of what other differences exist between the two sites but I do know that CBS has offered auction drafts for years now so I am far more confident in the quality there compared to yahoo. If we are paying $200+ per team, I am sure nobody would mind paying an extra $10 per team to pay for CBS.

CBS is better than ESPN?

I think CBS owns all other sites but ESPN and Yahoo are free and CBS can cost upwards of $150 for a league there so for the price it should be superior.

yeah I REALLY prefer keeper but we need guys who can commit for that

daily transactions all the way!!!!!!

im in

edit: dynasty league cancelled

I hate baseball but I'll probably play depending on the cost.

And I'd play the non-keeper, because I don't know if I care to pay attention to that much baseball for that long.

ok tenbagger....yeah i have a friend or 2 irl that would def join as well...and dont worry about cheating since they hate me and never make trades with me hehe

yahoo premium one is what we use for keepers. has everything u want and the league gets stat tracker which is cool

My schedule is very hectic around draft time this year so I might not be able to make it this year.

edit: dynasty league cancelled

consider me somewhat interested in dynasty, definitely in for the standard league

Ok guys, forget the dynasty, clearly not enough people interested in such a serious league.

But we need a few more for the regular yahoo league. acdawg, rush, fakeshaver, crayons? any of you guys in?

LP leagues rage me because half the people just quit because they don't care about the money when they wind up losing/doing bad....

I can say that all the people in baseball signed up so far have been extremely active and are solid players. In basketball, we got a couple people that have apparently given up but having played in a lot of leagues, that is inevitable. I've played in 1K+ buyin leagues where owners have given up a month into the season. As long as they don't try to manipulate the standings by playing favorites in categories or making bad trades, and they log in every now and then and keep their lineups reasonable, that is the best you can realistically ask for.

I just feel like because most of the people from LP that do the leagues have a good amount of money, then they just say "oh who cares it's just $200" more so than other people. And then we have a league with like only 50% of the participants checking their team and that is just stupid. Yeah I expect a couple people to give up, but not usually 5 out of 10 or 4 out of 10 or 4 out of 8 or w/e. That's a lot of the league not caring.....

I dunno our baseball league last year was pretty competitive and I dont think anyone gave up or stopped caring

I'm just speaking for the football and basketball this year. We barely had enough for a league for football and even teams that MADE the playoffs stopped checking their teams. As for basketball, so far I'd say like 6 out of the 10 participants check their team.

i am very busy right now until july so i don't think ill have the time to research and follow my team. Also, 200 dollars is not chump change to me, so I would like to do it right if i do it at all.
