    We're still a couple of months away, but I want to get a handle on who will be returning to the league this year. Everyone was relatively active last year, so you're all welcome back. Here is the list of last year's participants:

    jent
    BobFinn*
    Behad
    SSG
    PSJ
    Pimp
    DarkHorse
    Smeg
    SamCassell
    Castor
    DV
    fade


    Right now, I plan on re-registering with FanStar. We had a few rocky weeks early in the season, but things seemed to smooth out after that. Is everyone cool with going back to FanStar? If not, explain why in this thread. Like before, the league fee will be $5 each. I would cover it myself, but I'm still a poor student in teacher's college, and I honestly cannot afford the whole cost myself.

    So, reply to this thread with any issues and/or ideas you have, and let me know if you will be playing again this year.

    I'm in. Fanstar is fine with me, but you'd think there was something better out there by now.

    seems like fantasy players everywhere are underpaid. I think we need to form a union.

    I'm sure DV will join us again. He's a glutton for punishment.

    If you guys need anyone else in the league let me know and I'd be happy to sign up. I missed fantasy baseball last season and I'd like to get back into it.

    Cool. If there's an opening, you'll be at the top of the list.

    Okay, I paid the fee and renewed the league site. Within the next couple of weeks, I'll be getting everything in order.

    If you'd like to start chipping in with your $5 league fee, you can send it via paypal to jgillard@nf.sympatico.ca

    So far we have:

    Behad
    Finn
    PSJ
    Pimp
    Smeg
    Jent
    DH
    Castor
    Sammy
    fade

    Still need to hear from DV and SSG.

    I just heard back from DV and unfortunately he will not be returning this year. So, RocketManJosh, there is an opening for you if you still want it. Let me know.

    Still waiting on SSG.

    I'm just going to throw this out there and let y'all run roughshod over it, but...

    The leagues seem to have gotten stagnant. Everyone drafts the players they want, and trades are next to impossible to make. How about, just as a trial expiriment for future leagues, we do an auto draft? Everyone rank their players, then let the computer pick for us? This will encourage a lot more trades and more involvement.

    Ok, flame away......
