Where do you play Fantasy BB?

[john gardner]

I like the public YAHOO leagues..ESPN cuts off at midnight therefore it favors west coast players. I'm an East coast morning player, so you always feel a day behind. The CBS I play is a week-to-week game...not as good. So, Yahoo is the best choice... It also uses a smaller roster...3 OF and no M/I and C/I. , which just complicate the game. Sporting news is close behind allowing custom design of the roster etc..and FANTASY SOURCE is a real winner..

yahoo. cant argue with free system.

Yahoo - no optiosn whatsoever...no ability to have a minor league system...many stat categories cannot be used, quality starts, for example) For a free site and people who are newbies its fine...but if you wanna do dynasty/keepers, or anything else dont go there

CBS - Used it once and loved it....asthetically better than Yahoo, their GAMECENTER is awesome....doing keepers and minor leaguers is a cinch.....very expensive, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR....and stat categories GALORE

Next year watch out for Fanball.com, I commish a football league there and there commissioner product is due out for baseball in the winter after this season.

I played at Sportsline for years and a few at ESPN. Last year Sportsline was just way too buggy, so we switched to Yahoo. We have all been pleased and the extra money to be paid out at the end of the year (instead of sending it to the web site) is a nice bonus.

No options whatsoever? What in the world are you talking about?
I guess us "Newbies" will have to make due with the 27 offensive and 29 pitching categories. Becoming patronizing fantasy baseball Gods like yourself is what we're all striving for, so besides "quality starts", what other categories should we use that aren't listed below?

Offensive Categories:
Games Played;
Games Started;
Batting Average (Rotisserie, Head-to-Head Only);
Slugging Percentage (Rotisserie, Head-to-Head Only);
On-Base Percentage (Rotisserie, Head-to-Head Only);
On-base + Slugging Percentage (Rotisserie, Head-to-Head Only);
Fielding Percentage (Rotisserie, Head-to-Head Only);
At Bats;
Runs Scored;
Hits;
Singles;
Doubles;
Triples;
Home Runs;
Runs Batted In;
Sacrifice Hits;
Sacrifice Flys;

Exactly what categories that aren't here make paying $150 worth it? Not only that, but you can have a keeper league without it being intrinsic to the software. Why did the people in our private league decide to play Yahoo? Well, we thought it would be better to put the $100+ dollars in the winner's pot instead of giving it to some website. Call us crazy.

Of course people paying league dues are going to say it's worth it. It's 100% human nature to justify ones actions. And you know, maybe to some people, options like having a minor league system are worth it (although if I had to guess, I'd say most people don't care). What it doesn't mean, however, is that people that choose to play a free Yahoo league are somehow inferior or less knowledgeable as so many people that use pay sites seem to say they are.

IMHO.

All my leagues are Yahoo for the last 6 years. It usually has some glitches the first couple weeks of the season but those get ironed our each year. It also takes them a while to add players and put players on the DL, but you get what you pay for.
