WF Fantasy Baseball League Thread 2011

Simply Cosmic? lol, I got the Rugged Penguins.

I went ahead and added more bench positions. Not too many, just made it six instead of three, giving us a bit more option. I also added another DL slot.

I went with the basic ESPN format outside of bench/DL. I said that in the main thread and no one ha complaints.

I like my team. Sucks I got there late, but I probably would've picked Votto/Gonzalez anyway, so whatever.

Should be an interesting season!

I personally love my team. Great mix of proven talent with some guys who can have big years this year, in my opinion.

I also like how it looks like it'll be really close this year with no clear cut favorite to win, seems like a lot of great matchups.

Did someone really offer me Uggla and Jered Weaver for Ubaldo and Cano?
