[Baseball], "Favorite" Fantasy League needs 2-4 owners, 8 keepers, roto


This roto league has been around for 20 years. A good group of solid guys, many people say it's their favorite league. We have 10 owners now and play with 12-14.


We keep 8 starters and 4 minor leaguers. The league is built so new owners can win (and one won in their first year). We lost some owners with great players (Giancarlo Stanton, many others) and these will go into the draft pool from which new owners pick first.


Stats are almost standard 5x5, but we replace Runs with Total Bases + Walks (the commish calls this "Bases Touched" - the ultimate stat). Positions are 5 SP, 3 RP, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, Middle Infielder, Corner, 4 OF, 10 bench and 4 minor leaguers that can be made active or not and retain minor eligibility (until the year after their ROY qualifier).


This is a "slow draft" league. We start as close to March 1 as possible and it lasts all March (we are a little late this year). You get 12 hours to make your pick, so you get to think about it if you have to (or sleep if you are sleeping when your pick comes up), but owners are expected to draft within an hour of their turn during the daytime. So we go through a round or two of the draft each day. Not for the impatient or impolite.


This is a CBS League - bonus! League fee ($12) paid for new owners in 2018 (might look for a free service next year, maybe).
