anti-fantasy baseball league

[dacman]

Here's a little blurb I wrote up (last year):


I have 1 opening in my anti-fantasy points league affectionately known as the Mario Mendoza league. The "best" players in this league are the everyday-ish players who, frankly, suck. If your interested in being in a league where the Jack Hanahans, Tony Pena, Jrs, and Andruw Jones's of the world are "all-stars" than this is the league for you.
You'll have to do a lot of homework early on, but it's only a weekly league so it should be too taxing once the season starts.


This league is a bit of a test league just to see how it works out. I did a lot of statistical analysis to get the scoring system just right. A sense of humor about the whole thing is probably a must.

See post #7 for info.

this sounds pretty amusing

Wow, this is the first I've ever heard of a league like this. I bet it would be a lot of fun. Tony Pena is your #1 pick!

Bump, we need to get this spot filled ASAP.

How does the scoring work in this league? The team with the lowest average wins that category? The team with the fewest homers? Or does it work just like a regular league but we're playing with all bad players?

It's a points league:

I've seen leagues like this and they're suppose to be really fun but I don't have time this year.

Still, deserves a bump :)

SI

[dacman]

Day crowd bump. The draft is Thursday night, April 1, but draft participation is not all that important for a league of this nature.
