Cool. I don't know if the idea of opening it up will bring more people or not but maybe we can pick up a few people prior to Opening Day in a way that makes this work.

Sorry for delay:

Think that the yahoo fantasy baseball one should be ok. There are 3 scoring options so let me know what people think is the best one:

head to head - i don't think this is the best idea if people won't be massively active as this is a weekly matchup between fantasy teams. If someone isn't making a lot of updates etc then it could lead to distorted matchups

points only - they take specific counting stats and translate them into a static points system which accumulates over the season

rotisserie - they take specific counting stats and they accumulate ovet the season.

Personally i think that rotisserie is likely to be more straightforward as can then just score using the 'standard' mlb stats (HR, RBI, wins etc)

Let me know what you all think and i will set it up accordingly

Rotisserie sounds great to me if that's what you think is the best.

I am flexible and none of the three methods turns me off. I do think head-to-head can be a bit more engaging for people, but I could be wrong about that. Happy to play roto. Whatever will get us more folks, I suppose!

Excellent.

I do agree that head to head can be more engaging but that is only when all players are active.

For league hosting do people have a preference between Yahoo and ESPN fantasy baseball?

I had forgotten that ESPN was an option and they also let you play with an app which might be easier for some people (think yahoo do too).

I'll leave it until Friday to give people a chance to respond and then will set up.

I think an auto-draft is best with the differing timezones etc. to minimally inconvenience people. If that is ok with everyone i will see how long it gives us to set our auto draft preferences when i set up and post it asap

Either is fine with me, though the use of an app would mean that I am more likely to keep up with the season. If both have an app, then dealer's choice.

Lord, I'm super rusty with Fantasy anything. Please bear with me as I knock off all the dust and cobwebs.

Was taking a look at the create a league page there : can create a league with anything between 4:20 teams (in increments of 2).

How many should i opt for?

so far as players we have :

myself
sensei8
zaine
patrick
bushido_man96 (possible)

I was trying to find out if there are any issues if you create a larger league and it doesn't fill all slots and it looks like it may not let it start. Should i just opt for 6 teams then and we just need to find one more player then? (or two is bushido_man is unable to take part?)

Yes. Let's opt 6 teams so we can give this a try while being competitive.
