The draft is tomorrow night, and there are still three spaces in the league!

The draft is scheduled for March 27th at 6:30 pm (that’s Pacific time).

League stats:  
It’s a rotisserie league set-up, but I’ve changed some of the settings from the defaults. It will be a league of twelve teams, 26 players per team (plus two DL spots). You get eleven pitchers, ten position players (I’ve added an extra “utility player”, and five bench spots). In addition, I’ve added a couple of scoring categories: in addition to the standard Runs, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases, and Batting Average, I’ve added Fielding Percentage (I really missed having a defensive stat last year) and OPS (on base + slugging percentage). For pitchers, the standard categories were Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, and WHIP (walks & hits/inning pitched) to which I added Holds and Strikeouts per Walk Ratio. The player universe is all of baseball.

Join us! It’ll be fun!
