basically it's just a measure of how much activity there is involving a player (trades, adds from free agency, drops, etc.).

It's too late to sign up for basketball, and baseball hasn't started yet. To sign up for any Yahoo fantasy sport, make sure you have a Yahoo ID and go to fantasysports.yahoo.com. Every sport has its rules. All of them are free, but they have add-ons (like live stats and extended player rankings) that you can buy if you want.\n\nAnyway, you get in a league with other fantasy managers. Everybody drafts a group of real players, and the stats those players pick up during the year are added to your fantasy team's stats. You can trade players with other fantasy managers if you are weak in one area. Good luck!

In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category, and are totalled to determine an overall score and place. \nSo, if you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nTherefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144]. \n\nRankings within the individual scoring categories (HR, RBI, etc.) are based on the cumulative stats earned by all active players during the season and not on any individual day or game. \n\nTherefore, the overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members. So, the phenomenon of "losing points" can be explained as your rank falling in one or more of the statistical categories used in your league.

It's called "the Oracle of Baseball", and it's on Baseball-Reference.com.  Link is below.

I've done Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, and I've done CBS Sportsline Fantasy Football.  Sportsline is much better - better stats, better news on the players, better live scoring - you get what you pay for.

With a points league, you get a predetermined number of points for what your players do. A single is often worth one point, a double is two, an RBI is one, a win is 10, and so on. You can make the values whatever you want. If you want a league that values closers as much as starting pitchers, then you could make a save equal to a win. If you want a league that values speed, then make SBs worth three points each. This is probably the simplest way to play fantasy sports.

Fantasy baseball is a group of people who get together to make a league. Each person selects the real-life players that he wants on his team through a draft. For instance, if I draft Alex Rodriguez, then no one else in my league can have him. The players on the fantasy teams don't play together in real life at all. My first baseman might play for St. Louis, my catcher might play for Cleveland, my shortstop for Texas, and so on. You get points based on how well the players on your team do. If A-Rod hits three home runs in a day, then I get big points. Different leagues have different ways of keeping score. The team that has the best score at the end of the year wins the league title. Does that make sense?\n\nAs for your second question, a sleeper is a person that other members of your league might not know about, but is someone that you think will do well. Chris Shelton and Zach Duke are good examples of sleepers from the 2005 season. Now a lot of fantasy diehards know about these guys, so they aren't sleepers anymore.

It is a list of players that cannot be just cut from your team.  They must be traded or left on your roster.  The list is determined by Yahoo! "experts" and a player will only be removed when they deem it necessary.  This tool was developed to keep fantasy owners, whose teams were not doing well, from dumping their entire rosters and putting all their players up for grabs on the waiver lists.

So it would basically be Reyes & Wells for Soriano & Dye? Personally I'd say no to that, Soriano gives you the power, speed and average #'s that fantasy leagues eat up, plus he's still eligible at 2B (presumably). If you're looking for a replacement for Dye, play it week to week and pick up a streaking player who may be facing some weaker competition then drop him when the hot streak wears off.

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.

If you are playing in a Yahoo! fantasy sports league, his stats will count if you put him in your lineup. The DL next to his name indicates that he is eligible to be put on the DL, but as long as he is in your lineup, his stats will count. This is true for all formats of Yahoo! fantasy baseball.
