Roto leagues without a doubt have a very strong foothold within fantasy baseball because of the longeveity and history that they have had, but will H2H leagues ever catch up?
H2H for fun and play....but when money is on the line I'll take Roto anyday....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
I have done roto my whole life and have trying head to head and points once each and didnt care for them much. I just think that roto give you a true sense of who the better team is
H2H is more baseball-like. If Pujols is destined to hit 40 Hr's and 120 RBI's, it doesnt matter when he does it. He can have those totals by all-star game but it still is 40-120 in the end. In H2H it does matter!! If he goes into a 2 week slump your team tanks with him, basically. Thats luck, the way it goes, slumps, call it what you like. Look at the Cards in last years W.S. They slumped, choked... THATS BASEBALL people. Its not crisp and clean like roto.
In 1 of my leagues last year the 1st place finisher played the 4th place finisher in the W.S. Guess what? The 4th placer won it because of a 2 week slump by the 1st-placer. Thats Baseball.
I play both for variety but in dynasty keeper league its H2H.
