My brother, father-in-law and I are trying to put together a good keeper league for baseball. We have three other interested people so far, which makes 6 teams total, but we would like to get anywhere from 12-20 teams all together. Of course, depending on how many join, factors into if we only do one league (AL or NL) or combined. It will probably be a Rotisserie league but we have not got as far enough along to lay down a set of rules or anything so far. Just trying to get members right now. We will set it up to be an online draft somehow no matter what type of draft it will become. Also looking at a cheap but very reliable way to run the league. So far, we have looked at cbssportsline.com which is $130 per league ($13 per team with 10 teams only to go cheaper wih more teams). If we go that route, we can have a cash prize for the top 3 or so teams every season. We want reliable, available players who are not TOO competitive. I mean, we want people to try go all out to win, but at least be able to have a little fun with it and the other members as well. We want people who will be active enough to at least look over and give a curteous response to any trade offer. Basically, we just want to get a good group of guys to together for a litte fun every summer. Would rather we had a committed group to where we didn't have a bunch drop out every year to make us try to fill teams. Anyway, let me know if you're interested. You can either post your email address and I'll respond, or you can email me at akline@earthlink.net. Thanks for the consideration.
wow I could of swore some people would of posted in here being interested...decent amount of views within 2 days.

Hey guys, we are still looking for a couple of more teams. More info... Roto 5x5 Keeper League Probably run about $30 to join each year. Live, online action draft sometime this month (not yet determined) Some good guys looking to have some fun (ok, sounded raunchy but you know what I mean) Check out our official league website which has a lot of info and rules. http://www.geocities.com/thelongballclub/index.html
If you are still looking for players, let me know... I have myself and a good buddy of mine that would love to join...
Hey mogrod, I might be interested depending on how you set-up the league and more importantly the time of the draft. I've played a few years (but never won, not even once) in a great Houston based league. It is a great ROTO (4x4) league that is an auction style NL only keeper league with full blown minor teams. Just awesome! But it is expensive. I may step down off the ledge and join in your league. That way I won't lose as much money each year. send me a message if you're still building it. thx.
I still have 1 spot I could fill actually. Just opened up. The draft is Sat., April 1st at 7:30 central. The league fee is $35. Most of the info you need to decide is on the website my brother put together. http://www.geocities.com/thelongballclub/index.html It's a Roto 5x5 KEEPER league with an auction draft. We are only drafting 2 minor leaguers though, not a whole team. Send me an email (akline6@earthlink.net) if you are still interested and/or have any questions. I tried emailing you but I couldn't for some reason. Unfortunately, I need an answer either way REALLY soon. Thanks for the interest.
Hi mogrod, I emailed you. Can you let me know if I'm in or out? Please take a look at the questions that I asked in my email to you and let me know one way or another. thanks, mogrod! league looks very nice. mpg
