yahoo's leagues are actually not complicated at all.  They have pay leagues and free ones.\n\nYou might have to wait until the midseason leagues open though...i don't think they are starting new leagues since the season has already started.

Yahoo is a really good site to play fantisy baseball because you can play in a public league or private. Also good ones are ESPN and SI.

The statistics which are most important are the ones which the league require. You need to look these up on your league page as it should say which statistics they are counting on. The best way to draft ur players is to get a good mix of everything... Here are the common stats people measure:\n\nBatters:\nRBI: Runs batted in... the higher the better. Good RBIers have 100 during a season. \nBest of 2005:\nDavid Ortiz (1B): 148\nMark Texiera (1B): 144\nManny Ramierz (OF): 144\nAlex Rodriguez (3B): 130\nAndrew Jones (OF): 128\nGary sheffield (OF): 123\n\n\nBatting Average: The higher the better. Make sure you don't choose players which have a high average but have only played a few games (if you are looking at 2005 stats). Choose those that have played on a consisten basis and have had at least 300 at bats. A decent batting average would be around .280... anything above .300 is very good.\nDerrek Lee (1B): .335\nMichael Young (SS): .331\nPlaci Polaco (2B/3B): .331\nALbert Pujols (1B): .330\nMiguel Cabrera (3B/OF): .323\nMouise Alou (OF): .321\nAlex Rodriguez (3B): .321\nTodd Helton (1B): .320\n\nRuns: The higher the better. Good runners get 100+ per year. \nThe best runners in the league last year were:\nAlbert Pujols (1B): 129\nAlex Rodriguez (3B): 124\nDerek Jeter (SS): 122\nDerek Lee (1B): 120\nDavid Ortiz (1B): 120\nJohnny Damon (OF): 117\n\nHomerun: The higher the better. Good homerun batters hit 30+ a year\nAndrew Jones (OF): 51 \nAlex Rodriguez (3B): 48\nDavid Ortiz (1B): 47\nDerek Lee (1B): 46\nManny Ramirez (OF): 45\nMark Texiera (1B): 43\nAlbert Pujols (1B): 41\n\nStolen Bases: The Higher the better.. There are very few crazy stealers out there... Most of the top ones get 30+ but  soemone getting 15-20 isn't bad either. Just makes sure u have one top stelaer and a couple stealers that are in the 15-20 zone. \nChone Figgins (2B/3B/OF): 62\nJose Reyes (SS): 60\nScott Podsednik (OF):59\nJuan Pierre (OF): 57\nCarl Crawford (OF): 46\nRafael Furcal (SS): 46\nJimmy Rollins (SS): 41\nJulio Lugo (SS): 39\n\n\nPitching:\nWins: The higher the number of wins the better\nDontre Willis: 22\nBartolo Colon: 21\nChris Carpenter: 21\nRoy Owswalt: 20\nChris Capuano: 18\nCliff Lee: 18\nJon Garland: 18\n\nStrikeouts: the higher the better\nJohan Santana: 238\nJake Peavy: 216\nChris Carpenter: 213\nRandy Johnson: 211\nPedro Martiez: 208\nBret Myers: 208\nDoug Davis: 208\nCarlos Zambrano: 202\n\nERA: The lower the better. Make sure for Starting pitchers they have pitched at least 150 innings. Relief pitchers should have pitched around 60+\n\nRelief Pitchers: Mariano Rivera (1.38), Billy Wagner (1.51), Hudson Street (1.72), Derek Turnbow (1.74), Chad Cordero (1.82)\n\nStarting pitchers: Roger Clemens (1.82 but he may not play this season), Andy Pettite (2.39), Roy Halladay (2.41), Rich Harden (2.53), Pedro Martinez (2.82), Chris Carpenter (2.83)\n\nWHIP: the lower the better. Same rule as ERA for no of innings played\nRelief: Billy wagner (0.84), Mariano Rivera (0.87), Bob Howry (0.89), Cliff polite (0.94), J. sperir (0.95)\n\nStarting pitchers: Pedro Martinez (0.95), Roy Halladay (0.96), Johan Sanata (0.97), Roger Clemens (1.01), Andy Pettite (1.03), Jake Peavy (1.04)\n\nSaves: The higher the better. You get these off of relief pitchers...\nChad Cordero 47\nFransisco Rodriguez 45\nBob wickman: 45\nTrevor Hoffman: 43\nJoe Nathan: 43\nMariano Rivera: 43\nBrad Lidge: 42\n\nHope this helps!... This is for the typical 5x5 league. Others which people might add in are: \nPitching:\nk/9 innings: no of stikeouts per nine innings (The higher the better) \nLosses (the lower the better) \nIP: innings pitched, the higher hte better\n\nHitters: \nStrikeouts: the lower the better\nWalks: The higher the better\nSlugging percentage: The higher the better\nOBPS: the higher the better (Onbase plus slugging percetnage)\non base percentage: higher the better

Starting your own fantasy football league is not easy since money isn't involved. Meaning if you have a league where everyone joins at the starting then they wont be active for the hole season. \n\nSo take it from a guy who had his own league in football, baseball, hockey, & basketball creat a league where money is involved or no one will be active. (exp. 10 team league only 4 or 5 teams active and so on don't creat a league with out money.

No they don't give you the option, but i have done keepers on Yahoo in the past....what you need to do is have everyone submit the players they want to keep then start a new league the next year, all you need is someone to keep records and to have everyone be resposible and draft the players they opted to keep. It takes a little work, but is well worth it in the end!

Everything depends on the set up of your league.  Know the rules, and know the scoring system really well.  Payattention to players that have changed home ballparks, and whether that will help or hurt them.  In a typical league, you don't want to overvalue pitching.\n\nDraft best available player the first few rounds, and then after that start thinking about position scarcity.\n\nMost important: get lucky.

I would go to the Yahoo Fantasy Sports Home Page at http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/. \nEach game has a link for rules.

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.

Try www.fanball.com. I've used them in the past. They give pretty good advice and their commissioner package is the cheapest while still being pretty kick as.s.
