OT: How many Fantasy Baseball leagues are you in?

[BeanTown]

I love fantasy baseball. I play in three to five leagues a year depending in my schedule. I do a competitive 6x6 CBS league, the NFBC, and a couple competitive/social leagues in ESPN with the traditional 5x5 roto format.

I used to have a couple of MLB teams I routed for, but since playing fantasy (over a decade ago) I now am vested in just about every game and I find myself staying up late watching the West Coast Games! Not to mention the MLB package through Direct TV is a must!

I'm competitive and baseball is my passion so instead of playing ball through High School or soft ball teams. I find myself playing fantasy sports, coaching a youth travel team and announcing games for the local High School team.

When people want to talk ball... The first question I ask them is which decade would you like to talk about.

I enjoy playing. I enjoy the numbers and I enjoy the strategy. Watching MLB isnt even necessary.

Any Net54 league's out there looking for another player? I would be in if there is an opportunity!

Please email me if there is a spot:

This is the first time in probably 13-14 years I got back into a baseball league. Foe nearly that entire time, I have just played in football leagues. I decided on a whim to get back into a baseball league again this year and joined a $50 league on Yahoo.

I signed up for a traditional roto league. One thing that kind of caught me by surprise is how prevalent H2H leagues are now for baseball. Back when I was really into fantasy baseball in the '90s, I don't recall there being many H2H leagues at all. Maybe this is just my memory, but it seemed like everyone played with a roto format back then.

How is everyone doing at the halfway point of the season? I am currently second in my $50 Yahoo roto league. I got lucky with some free agent pick-ups early in the season (Jake Lamb, Jonathan Viilar, Adam Duvall) and with a couple guys overperforming (Jon Lester, Jay Bruce), but have been around 1-3 in my league nearly all season.

I did give up on Adrian Gonzalez a few weeks ago, however, and Todd Frazier hitting .200 over the first half of the season has been even worse than I expected. I also drafted Ken Giles, who was out the closer role the first week of the season.

The thing that surprised me a bit is that even in a $50 league, two of the 12 owners seemingly gave up a few weeks into the season, The league also has another 3-4 teams that are either hopelessly lopsided with way too much hitting or way too much pitching.

There is also a team in the league that has made 85 transactions thus far.

I prefer to use my fantasies on greater things than sports games.

That is absolutely and completely fine. But the thread topic is clearly listed in the thread title. Why open the thread just to make the comment that you are not interested in the topic? There are lots of threads that I just skip over without posting in the thread that I am not interested in the topic.
