Something a little different: A few of my friends and I have been playing the free Fantasy sport games from <a href="http://www.thesportingnews.com" target="_blank">www.thesportingnews.com</a> over the past couple of years, so if anybody is interesting in competing (for bragging rights only) then go to <a href="http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/season1/fantasy/home.html" target="_blank">http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/season1/fantasy/home.html</a> and create your team. I have created a Division called WinDrivers and the password to join that division is drivers. (case sensitive) This division is only for WinDrivers people.
When you create your team, try to use your WinDrivers name so we know who you are.
A little background on the game: you only get $30M to buy players, so you have to choose wisely. You can also trade players throughout the season, however you only get a few trades a week to use. Trades don't expire, so you can stockpile a bunch for the stretch.

Just started Team Octavian.
This should be interesting......first time I ever played fantasy baseball. This should make me an easy target.
So far I am one of two teams.

I'll set up my team tomorrow. I've been completely out of baseball the past few years, started to get back into it last year.
Hmm.. The New Jersey Draggars....
