We're looking for one new owner for an established, active, 15-team 5x5 mixed-league rotisserie keeper league, now going into its tenth year.
Teams carry both major league and (7-player) minor league rosters. Several long-standing cafe members are owners. We keep 5 regular players, 1 “rookie,” and 4 minor league players each year. Activity goes year round, using Yahoo during the season and a group site during the offseason. We do a slow draft starting very early each year, usually in mid-January.
There is a small, $10 fee for the team, with all money each year going toward prizes for the top 4 finishers.
We’re looking for an experienced, committed, and EXTREMELY active owner. The open team actually has quite strong keepers.
If you are interested, please email me at
gdkasper@yahoo.com with information about your fantasy baseball experience.
