Just wanted to gauge interest on starting this up again this year.  I had fun last year, and wouldn't mind running it again if we hjave enough interest.  This year, I would take the prize packs up front in order to avoid the couple that never paid last year, and I learned a few pointers on league setup.

Here is the 2014 league thread if you are interested in seeing:

Anybody interested?

I'm game for playing again! Let's do this!!    

It's a long season, but Ill give it a shot again. Hopefully I won't be out of it at the end of June like last year.

I'm in too

Well well well, we may fill this up faster than I thought!  4 in, who else???

I could be interested however never done Fantasy Baseball... keep me posted.

I'll play.

I've never done fantasy baseball either but I'm always up for a shot at free cigars...so yeah, I'd be interested.

I'm interested in playing again!

Sounds good!  Fantasy baseball takes a bit more work we learned last year, you have to visit several times a week but it is fun.  We are getting close, I will set up a league with a few more interested parties.

I am upping the DL list this year so you can carry more players.  Were there any more suggestions we would like to se moving forward?

Michael, I am in again, enjoyed last year

If you'll have me, I'll play.  No baseball guru, but the fantasy baseball does keep the interest up all season.  Go Tigers!

Just so everyone knows that didn't play last year, Michael did an excellent job of running it and it was an absolute blast. If you like baseball and cigars you should be in this one!

I might be up for this.  Are the "rules" posted somewhere?

I am going to email the few that played last year that have not responded (and paid their prize) to make sure previous players are not left out.

Basically it is a head to head league, that part is like Fantasy Football.  You can change your roster daily and the points for whoever is on your active roster compile for the week.  So each week is a new game.  You have a limit of how many starts your pitchers can make, but that is about it.

It will be a 10 good cigar ante.  Nothing crazy, just nothing you are trying to unload or cheapies.  There were some really nice prize packs last year for nkowal.....speaking of.....

Even if the possibles play, we can probably fit a few more teams, but I am going to build this thing before the end of the week and set up an auto draft.  We will ship the cigar packs to me for safe-keeping throughout the season and I will send the winnings out after the season.  We will pay first and second place this year, I will give that breakdown once I know the final number of players.

Any questions?

Yeah I'm in - sorry read the thread last night and forgot to say that I'm going to defend my title!

It's a fun time, but baseball is a long-haul fantasy game. It was a lot of fun last year (helps when you win!   ) Thanks for setting this up again.

As for the guys who didn't send their cigars from last year - I never negged them, but its probably worth doing to at least give a warning. They were not guys who actively participate in stuff as far as I recall and they seemed to have dropped off. Oh well, still lots of fun.

All new guys I need your email address, none are listed in profiles, so I can invite you to the league.

Guys that were in last year are just reactivated in our league unless I deleted you.

How about a losers pack? Everyone includes a dog rocket or two, and that "prize pack" goes to the geek with the worst record...just a thought.

I like that!  Chuck also sent me a great idea, an All-Star Break prize pack, maybe 2-3 apiece.  But I was thinking what about doing like the Super Bowl Square deal, for the All-Star break leader, everyone sends one super-premium (Padron, Tatuaje, Opus, etc.).  What do you guys think?
