What is fantasy baseball?
102186
It is an interactive sports game that can involve up to 12 players. Before the beginning of the season, you either have a live draft or an automatic draft to pick your teams. Each real live MLB player can only be taken by one Fantasy "Manager". You score points by the achievements of the real MLB players that are on your FANTASY team. You have the ability to trade and sign free agents. There are many different types of Fantasy Baseball. The most popular is the Head to Head type. That is where you play against one other "manager" in your league for an entire week. Getting points based on the stats that are selected for your league ( Hits, Runs, HR, ect ) If you want to learn more, please click on this link to read all the Yahoo Fantasy rules....\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/baseball/brules/index.html

Okay, first, for rotisserie league baseball:\n\nYou will probably have a league draft.  The teams will draft in some order.  Your job at this point is to try to get the best lineup of players possible, based upon what stats your league is using as competitive factors.  So, if your league uses batting average, runs scored, home runs, RBIs, and steals on offense, you'll want to draft a lineup as balanced as possible in those categories.  The same goes for pitching.  Basically, you want something that looks like a well-thought out real team.\n\nRotisserie league (or "roto ball") rewards consistency.  All the categories that count statistically are ranked 1-x, where x is the number of teams in the league.  If you lead the league in, say, home runs, you get x points.  If you're second, you get x-1 points, down to one point for last.  Most placement points at the end of the seaon wins.\n\nThis setup requires you to have strength in as many statistical categories as possible.  You can blow the league away in half of the stats, but finish near the bottom in the others, and you won't win.  Thus, leading the league in this or that isn't the end purpose.  Solidity across the board is.\n\nYou also have fantasy points leagues.  Here, you draft as before, but each statistic rates points per datum (thus, a run scored might be 1 point; score 500 runs, get 500 points).  I don't like this type as much, as you can figure out where you want your points, draft on that alone, and run away with so much of one or two stats that everything else can rot on the vine and you still win.  This is especially true if the league awards too many points for a statistic (like 20 for a stolen base versus two for a homer... gee, let's get speedsters).\n\nLast, you have head-to-head fantasy, which goes on fantasy points.  Here, you draft, and then you match your stats against another player in the league for a given time (often a day or a week).  Most points in that day or week wins between the two of you, so you end up with standings similar to a real-life table... :)

You just decide what fantasy sport you want to play.  Yahoo fantasy sports is a good site and I like the way their leagues are set up (I've played in others and they were not as user friendly).  You can sign up to play in a public league and you'll be randomly assigned to a league.  Your team will be picked by autodraft then but you can still trade players and pick up other players.  Then it's just a matter of keeping your line up set to play.  Basketball and baseball take more work because they have so many games but you can set your line up for several days in advance. \n\nIt's really fun if you have enough friends and coworkers to have a private league where everyone in the league knows everyone.  You can do a lot of smack talk and make crazy trades and it's really fun.  It's really fun too if you can do a live draft (where everyone is either on line at one time choosing or you actually go to a sports bar and pick in person).  Just a warning for a live draft---that is alot of work for the commissioner because then they have to go in and assign all the players to each person's team.  Autodraft is easier but not as much fun.\n\nJust go to the yahoo fantasy website and you can get started.  It's fun and I hope you get a good team the first time out!\n\nOops---I thought of one more thing.  In some leagues you have a maximum number of times you can play a position, or maximum number of innings pitched, etc. so you might want to check on that too.  It's bad at the end of the season when you are all out of players because you didn't know about that and sometimes started people just to be starting them.

I dont necessaryly call it greedy or needly.  Its a strategy that most players have to use depending on the team hes playing against.  For instance if you have 11 position players and 10 pitchers but the other guy has 13 pitchers and 8 position, chances are in catagories like wins or saves or strikeouts your not going to win cause you are outnumbered in pitchers but in turn you will have a good chance in winning the hitters catagory.  So in most cases you have to add and drop players according to the team your playing to better match yourself and more able to win against that player instead of spliting.  The object of fantasy is to win as many catorgies as possbile, not to take splits or barely win just cause you were out numbered in players.  Thats why they allow you to add/drop.  I'm an active player and drop and add players constantly and been doing so the 2 year i have played fantasy baseball and i fair pretty well.  I won my only league last year and in 1st in both mine this year.  Depends on the players you choose, when you play them, and the time you add or drop them.  You may drop a sorry player but after you drop them they have a break out period or vise versa.  If you are a true competitor, its all bout winning.  You compete to win not play to lose.

Yes you can. Log onto your Yahoo! ID and go your fantasy baseball Yahoo! home page. Once there, click on "edit" of "teams and leagues" (you will find this on the right side of your screen, it's right above the listing of your team(s)).\n\nOnce there, you can delete your team. It's also important to note that if you are the commissioner of that league, you will have to delete the entire league in order for you to "get out of it."\n\nHope this helps.

Fantasy Sports is where you create a team from a roster of players.\n\nTheir performance of the field generates a set number of points for your team, as well as how the team performed.\n\nFor example, in football, you desingate your team as Pittsburgh, but you have Ricky Williams as your running back.\n\nYou get points as to how well the individual performed and the team.\n\nThere are leagues where they have drafts for players and even trades during hte season.\n\nYou pay into it and the person with the most points wins.\n\nThere are also organized contests, which you can see in the paper as well.

Fantasy Baseball.  Not only I like baseball, in the fantasy world, it's easier to catch up at Fantasy Baseball if my team was bad before.  Football or basketball, the draft decides a huge percentage of the outcome.  There are more up-and-downs in baseball.

Without seeing your team and knowing your league settings...it is really difficult to say.  One thing you need to remember though...having a good team in fantasy leagues just means that you have...well a good team.  It by no means guarantees you of wins during the course of the season.  Fantasy consists of quite a bit of luck also and any manager that tells you different is full of you know what.  \n\nMy Yahoo rating is 79% over 6 seasons in both private and public leagues in baseball and football in both H2H (head to head) and roto leagues.  I have had loaded teams fail to make the playoffs and teams that I have no confidence in whatsover...win the championship.  While having good players certainly help your odds of winning....you are still at the mercy of lady luck.  \n\nHang in their bud....luck eventually will come your way.  If this is your first year playing fantasy games...then consider it a learning experience.  Your second go around will be much better overall.

?  Uhm... a fantasy hockey league is won by the player who manages their team the best, getting the most points out of the players he or she chose for their team.  \n\nNow, if you're talking about REAL hockey, I'd have to go with either Ottawa or Detroit.

There are various places you can search to find open leagues.  Far more are draft style rather than auction, however.  (I'm confused by what you mean by money draft (snake style).  A snake draft implies a draft, I read money drfat to mean an auction.)\n\ntry Yahoo Fantasy baseball:\n\nhttp://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can search for open leagues.  You could also establish your own league, with the rules you want, and invite others to join.\n\nThere are tons of fantasy baseball sites (Sportsline, Sporting News, Sandbox) and many have baords on which you could look for a league or invite others to join.  Look around.
