Meta: MgoFantasy Baseball League

I'm in as well. Fun Fact: Rotisserie League Baseball was founded by Michigan alum Daniel Okrent. Relevant wikipedia quote: "The concept of picking players and running a contest based on their year-to-date stats has been around since shortly after World War II, but was never organized into a widespread hobby or formal business. In 1960, Harvard University sociologist William Gamson started the "Baseball Seminar" where colleagues would form rosters that earned points on the players' final standings in batting average, RBI, ERA and wins. [4] Gamson later brought the idea with him to the University of Michigan where some professors played the game. One professor playing the game was Bob Sklar, who taught an American Studies seminar which included Daniel Okrent, who learned of the game his professor played. [5] At around the same time a league from Glassboro State College also formed a similar baseball league and had its first draft in 1976.[6]" Also: "The landmark development in fantasy sports came with the development of Rotisserie League Baseball in 1980. Magazine writer/editor Daniel Okrent is credited with inventing it, the name coming from the New York City restaurant La Rotisserie Francaise where he and some friends used to meet and play.[8] The game's innovation was that "owners" in a Rotisserie league would draft teams from the list of active Major League Baseball players and would follow their statistics during the ongoing season to compile their scores. In other words, rather than using statistics for seasons whose outcomes were already known, the owners would have to make similar predictions about players' playing time, health, and expected performance that real baseball managers must make." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotisserie_sports

But will be unable to participate in the live draft after the first round or 2 because of class... hopefully autopick isn't too terrible on yahoo.
