Ah yes, my life has meaning again. And I don't just mean because the baseball season started. It's also fantasy baseball time! Now I have something to do at work! Huzzah! I actually have two teams this year and, unlike last year, both are rotisserie, so that'll be new. And I'm already in second to last place with Team 1. Woo.
Curious about who I have? Read on...

How did you get FOUR closers in that second league??? Both look like solid teams, to me... By the way, does anybody have Pappelbon? I'm assuming he's taken by now, but he's a good way to get a fifth b/c he looks like he's going to be their primary closer this year now that Faulke has imploded again.

Posted by: Barb at April 10, 2006 07:19 PMHow many teams are in each league? And what position did you draft from? Were they snake drafts? How did you prep? How do you feel you did? Silly people want details!
(btw, I don't know if it's down your aisle, but i've been listening to the OCR of Spamalot...helluva lot of fun)
Well, it was an automatic draft. One league has 9 teams; the other 6 (and I'm in 8th and 5th places, respectively--woo). I prepped the way I always do--by picking players I'd heard of and thought were good. And I'm not sure what a "snake draft" is.
As for Spamalot, I'm seeing in June. Woo!
