It's that time again! (Well, almost)
Pitchers & Catchers report this week. So, start warming up those arms and stretching out those muscles, it's time for the 4077th Fantasy Baseball season.
I hope everyone that has played before will be returning and anyone else that may be interested will join us too. It's a fun time for all and you don't have to have any experience. Just ask some of our previous winners. Some of our team managers can't even play the game, let alone tell you the rules...lol But, they sure can manage a fantasy team.
Watch this thread for more information on when the league will open so you can set up your team, folloowed by the player draft.
If you have any questions about fantasy baseball and think you might be interested, post your questions here.
Hope to see some new faces this season!

I am sorry for the delay. I had planned on setting it up this past week, but I have had a serious family emergency that has set me back. I hope to get it out tonight.

The 4077th Base Camp Fantasy League has been set up. The URL for this season is: baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/145081If you are interested in playing this year, please let me know and I will send you an invitation. Our Live Draft is set for Sunday, March 24th at 4pm EST. If you can't make it, it's ok. You can pre-rank your players that you want and the computer will auto-draft them if you can't be there. If the player hasn't been picked by another team, the computer will pick him for your team based on your rankings. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the season!

Still not sure of some things: How does pre ranking work? How can I tell which players are good? I autoed my list last year... When during the game, a list of players to choose to add from appears with players' names and about a hundred different columns with all sorts of abbreviations on them appears how do I tell from that how well a player is doing?!

When you prerank players, you select them in the order that you want to draft them. So, during the live draft, you don't have to search for them. And, if it auto-drafts in your absence, there is a list to follow. Of course, so players may be selected by other teams before it is your turn to pick a player.
Players are ranked by Yahoo, so the number that is in front of them is their rank number. The closer to #1, the higher ranked they are.
The different columns and abbreviations are their stats. H=hits, R=runs, 2b=Double, 3b=Triple, HR=Home Runs, AVG=Batting Average, RBI=Runs Batted In, SB=Stolen Base, etc. For pitchers: APP=Appearances, IP=Innings Pitched, W=Wins, CG=Complete Games, K=Strike Outs, ERA=Earned Run Average, etc
Hope that helps.

Moonbeam, that has helped tremendously, thanks! Of course with it being pre passover I missed the draft and will have to leave my team to get on by itself for the next ten days....... see you later.
