I have founded the TOUAMB 2008 Pretend Baseball League, kids.

I copied-and-pasted the parameters of the 2007 league, including the auto-draft, with two minor changes... I pushed the trading deadline a week later and I opened us up to a theoretical maximum of sixteen teams, just in case a lot of people want to sign on.

Other than that, exactly the same.

I am, of course, starting out with the name Damned Human Race.

Here is the link to the league:

The password to get in on it is: raysadvice

And... I think this is all we need to know up front?

Okay. Set phasers to AWESOME, kids. Pretend. Fuckin'. Baseball.

We need the league ID number rather than the name in order to join it.

(I am new at imaginary commissioning.)

EDIT: Also, anyone have any really big problems with last season's rules? I could definitely modify anything anyone had a huge beef with, if a lot of people have that huge beef, before the draft happens.

If a large number of people were into the idea of adding a second DL slot to the situation, I would kind of dig that but I did not want to unilaterally effect that change.

For a second I thought you were advocating a second DH position, which boggled my mind with its obscenity.

All signed up. I miss Keith, though. Where you, Keith? We need you!

[Drygioni]

I know nothing about American football, yet would like to find out a bit more.

I think I'll throw myself in at the deep end, I'm in!

[Arachno-capitalist]

I am in and I approve of a DL position slot.

football

This is gonna be fun.

First thought: Not actually football, baseball.

Second thought: This is going to take a bit of learning.

Think of this as a cultural exercise.

[Drygioni]

Erm. Brief, non-jargonised summary?? Anyone?

If you'd rather see me hilariously cock this entire thing up, then feel free not to tell me anything.

However.

If you do that, I will win the league due to Karma.

My team's name is RumSodomyandtheLash.

Ladies and gentleman, I present the 2008 Fantasy Baseball Champion. Right here.

Judy, how well do you understand baseball as a sport? Before you know how to assign value to players based on their ability to collect certain stats, it helps to have a little idea of how they go about getting those stats.

[littlefallsmets]

Overthinking is the best kind of thinking!

No! What's wrong with the idea of watching the Brit hilariously cock this entire thing up?

Somehow, the idea of Fantasy Cricket seems insanely amusing to me at the moment.  I'm not really sure that this variety of fandom translates between cultures.
