Anyone do Fantasy Baseball? I have the last 2 years and I really enjoy it. Almost as much as Fantasy Football!

Fantasy BB takes way more involvement than football does. In football you can be successful with just checking your lineup once mid-week & then again Sunday morning. In baseball you need to game plan for the entire week & constantly setting your lineup in order just to make sure your team is competitive. It became too much work for me, thus I stopped doing baseball leagues a few years back. Same thing applies to basketball leagues.

I understand it can be a little work. Really you just have to keep track of your starting pitchers mostly. They usually show you who is supposed to start on which day a week in advance. For batters you just leave a lone and only worry about lineup change when you know someone gets hurt.

I will give it a try but I stopped playing fantasy basketball after one year because it was way too much work.

I play, but agree leagues where you can edit your lineup everyday severely disadvantage the players that...for lack of a better phrase....have a life.

I prefer the baseball leagues where you edit the lineup weekly like football. I also hate the Rotesserie style leagues because half the teams are out of it by the all-star break and lose interest.

The problem with not having the ability to set your lineup daily is that baseball is a day to day league, meaning injuries can pop up out of no where for pitchers. If you are counting on 2-3 starters that week to get you 2 starts & 1 or 2 of them go down early in the week, you are pretty much screwed for that week.
