OTM Fantasy League II
Last year we had a first try at a OTM Fantasy League and despite some of the initial problems I think in the end the league went well.
Will we be having a go at it a second time? Now we know who actually cares about their team so it can only get better when choosing the users, we can even try something new like a dynasty format with minor leagues.
Who's up for it?

Some thoughts
- Would love to do a dynasty league, but that takes serious commitment from everyone involved. Are you up to it, OTMers?
- Leftfield idea, but what about taking on "actual" teams? That is, players manage the squads that exist in real life. This can be done for the AL if we have 15 players. Then make drafting, trading, etc., favourable to the managers of the worst teams.
- Live draft is a must.
- I would chip in money for a league with whistles and bells, and maybe even small cash prizes.

A+ on the lineup.
F- on the depth, especially in the pitching department.
Re: OTM Fantasy League II
Does anyone know websites that run this kind of leagues mentioned above? Either the regular keeper league with minors and the one using actual teams, I'm only familiar with Yahoo.
Re: OTM Fantasy League II
Back on the 'running actual teams' league, perhaps the best way to do it is each owner is allowed to keep 10 players from the roster, and all other players go into a draft, which favours the managers of the worst teams.
Anyway, I'll help if we do something as complicated as that.

Re: OTM Fantasy League II
Anyway - it's a hell of a question. Which teams have the strongest core of 10? It's a bit of a leveller because one of our strengths is our depth. (But not that much of a leveller, maybe.)
Re: OTM Fantasy League II
I dunno. Strongest core of 10? Could it be Rays? Crawford, Pena, Upton, Kazmir, Shields, Garza could all be fantasy studs. Of course, I don't play fantasy ball, so maybe I'm wrong.
Crap. I don't know anything.
I'd be interested
Do we do draft or auction? I vote auction.
AL only? Both?

Re: OTM Fantasy League II
britsoxfan already volunteered to help and I'm counting on him but it would probably be better if a third person stepped up also, someone from across the pond to deal with whatever issues that might come up at a time when neither I nor britsoxfan can't be online due to time zone differences.
Until we decide one which website to run the league and the formats available we can't decide anything further except which users are up for it. I'll send an email to all the users who participated in last year's league and also make a list of the ones who already stated their intentions to participate in this year's one. If any one else wants to join please reply to this post and I'll keep updating the list.
So far we have:
-nheck
-britsoxfan
-Schulz
-SoxDevil
-Realistic
-drabidea
-gnick55
-BoSox415
-illgamesh
