Fantasy Baseball Keeper League

Hey all:

I'm getting an early jump on setting up at fantasy baseball league for the upcoming season. This will be a KEEPER league and, just to keep it interesting, there will a CASH ENTRY FEE and PRIZE MONEY this season. Entry is $20, payable at the start of the season. So this is something you'll need to consider before you commit to it.

It's essentially the same, except I'll run the league through sportingnews.com and not yahoo. I was in a league on there last year and found it to be very easy to use, so hopefully it'll be better than yahoo was regarding draft times, etc.

As far as league parameters, it'll be 6 hitting categories and 6 pitching categories:
Hitters: Runs, Homers, RBI, Steals, Average, On-base Percentage
Pitchers: Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, Whip, Holds

Pretty similar to last year, but I dumped the doubles and complete game categories.

Rosters will the exactly the same as they were in our league last year:
Two SP, Two RP, Three P
C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, Three OF, Util
Seven Bench Spots, Two DL Spots
(Draft will be 23 rounds)

I'm open to suggestions on the league settings but I'd like to keep it fairly vanilla. Draft date and number of keepers is up in a poll on the league page. As of 3/17/09 it's looking like 3/29 for the draft and 5 keepers.

If you'd like to participate, let me know as soon as you can and I'll send you the league details and password. If you know anyone else who would be interested in joining, have them email me. I'd like to have 12 teams in it but we'll see how this goes.

EDIT: I dropped CGs as a category because there are never many of them and they end up being pretty unpredictable. Doubles was okay but it seems like the good hitters are usually the ones with all the doubles anyway, so it didn't seem advantageous to do it again.
