Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I just checked out yahoos new mock drafts. Not bad. I may like it better than the real drafts they have.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

Fwiw, I just thought I'd mention a couple planned changes to yahoo fantasy baseball this year in case anyone is interested. Apparently now auction drafts will be an option, live scoring will be free, and there will be an iphone app.

Yeah. They did the same for Fantasy Football this year.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I've never done an auction league. I'm kinda curious.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I like auction leagues. Nice change of pace.

Also, ESPN is offering AL & NL only leagues this year.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I'm hoping to be impressed by Yahoo this year because last year I wasn't. What I'd really like to see (and last year Yahoo asked all of its league commissioners to submit anything the commissioners could think of to help them come out with a better product {for next year}) and I submitted this to Yahoo- to make their page layout more condusive to managers interaction with eachother and as a result interest could be higher and even make trade talks & trades more likley to happen. Looking forward to checking everything out asap. Thanks Dan for the note you sent to me about Yahoo new offerings.

I would also like to do an auction league. If anyone wants to put one together, shoot a PM to me. Thanks.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I'm up for an auction league. Who wants to take the bull by the horns and start it up (be the commissioner- I'm already commish of one and don't want to commish more than that) when it goes live at Yahoo, I guess? I've done Fantasy Point, Roto 6x6 and 5x5 as well as Head 2 Head but have never competed in an Auction League in my 11 years of online playing. Count me in Joseph. Also, I replied to your PM. Get back to me Joseph and anyone else that wants to get together for an auction league. My PM box is almost full, so you can reach me at kingpoobah@yahoo.com if you'd like. Thanks!!!

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

I'd be glad to head up an auction league. Let's get 12 owners together, then we can hash out the format.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is Live!

Count me in. I'll be an active owner. I prefer a draft during a week day, but can probably be available any time. I've never done an auction before, so this will be a good learning experience for me.

What is an auction league? Forgive my ignorance.

Owners take turns nominating a player, and everyone bids fake dollar amounts on him. Each team has a set budget that they must use to fill their team. It makes draft day quite entertaining.
