    Hey everyone. I am creating a new fantasy baseball league on Yahoo which is a bit different from the norm. Basically, the league has 10 teams, and instead of drafting players, each owner drafts 3 MLB teams. 30 MLB teams / 10 owners = 3 MLB teams per owner.

    You get all the players on the 3 teams you end up drafting and use those players to make up your lineup. There is no trading. You can add/drop free agents, but you can ONLY pick up players who are on one of the 3 teams you drafted (I will police this manually).

    So, say you end up drafting the Yankees, Dodgers and Pirates... then your roster will be comprised of these players only for the whole year. The challenge comes with picking 3 MLB teams that fit well together.

    It will be a three round draft. The first two rounds will be regular serpentine style, but the third round will be randomized.

    The scoring system is fantasy points head-to-head, similar to fantasy football scoring. Starting lineups and other details are listed below. Since there is no trading and because lineups are set weekly (not daily), this will be a relatively low-maintenance league.

    If you are interested, post a message here and also sign up on the Yahoo site! We'll do the draft here on the BBS, and we'll get it going as soon as the league is filled up.

    Ah, good question. I'd say that the player remains with the original owner and does not move. Nobody can predict real life trades, so an owner should not be penalized for it.

    However, if that player is dropped into free agency by the original owner, then the rights to that player are relinquished, and he cannot be picked up by him again. Instead, at that point, the owner of the new team to which the player was traded (and only him) is able to pick that player up.

    Seems to me that is the best way to handle it.

    Can't wait for this. Maybe we should put our usernames in parentheses next to our team name.
