Yahoo! has free fantasy baseball up now.

Anyone want to start a MLB Power Pros forum fantasy league?
I want at least 8 participants and at most 15.

No, free yahoo leagues don't offer any keeper leagues or any other options for that matter.

Just live draft and standard roto 5x5 or head-to-head scoring. Only thing changeable is the stats used.

Unless, I get the finances together (ads?) I don't plan on using the pay leagues that have more options. The only other way would be if every contributed a ton of money ($125 per league).

So, the keeper league is only an option for the pay leagues. Not really worth it.

okay, i'll try to set something up.

It will probably change, but if you know you can't make the draft date of March 15, tell me.

I'll see what I can get.

EDIT:
never mind, i'll wait for more people before deciding on settings

I only know about Reds players so I would pretty much be sunk. Now, if it was football... :wink:

Naw I'm out, I don't know baseball players well enough, just the game itself.

I'm sure there are plenty of others though
