Only HR Fantasy League - Non-time consuming

I've had the idea of creating a fantasy league in the simplest of forms - essentially a year-long homerun derby. 10 players per team, no bench, and everyday all your hoping for is a big homerun.

Any interest in that, really the only thing you need to prepare for is the draft.

Signed up...you might want to mention Yahoo somewhere, though.

Are we indeed having a live draft next Thursday?

I thought I set it to next Wednesday, really just did it quickly. I'd prefer to draft during a weekday in the evening, seems most people would be available then.

You are correct...don't know why I typed Thursday.

I doubt I'll be available for a live draft next week...just wanted to confirm that we were indeed doing it live. I have no problem setting my rankings, though.

Bump for a reminder that the draft is tonight @ 9:30 EST, and also to provide a chance for some last minute signups. 8 are in so far.

Bump for more people. With only one category and no strategizing over what positions need to be filled, the whole live draft shouldn't take more than a half hour. Join in.

Yahoo. http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1 Click get a team, then I think you join custom league, and then enter the ID and password the Shortman posted above.

The link to the draft room will appear at 9:15, I believe.

I hope everyone who was really interested did their own rankings, cause Yahoo will select based on their overall rank in, presumably, 5x5 leagues. Ichiro is set to be the 25th or so player off the board.

Ouch, it looks like Shorty didn't make it to the draft.
