The Crawfish Boxes Fantasy League

PrintIt's that time of year when you start shooting emails off to your buddies to talk trash about how you're going to own them in your fantasy league this season. I know my email is full of at least eighty of these exact emails. HLP and I have already started bickering over who we should be keeping on our respective rosters in our keeper league, and the drama of what categories should and should not be included in this year's league required outside mediation. It's this level of intensity, nerdery, and enthusiasm that makes me love fantasy baseball.
Since this is HLP's and mine's first full season to be on board, we're not sure how the organization of a fantasy league for TCBers works, but we wanted to gauge interest in participating in this year's league before we really started worrying about the nitty gritty.
Ideally, it'd would be a 12 team, 5x5, roto-league. If there's enough enthusiasm, HLP and I will split up and form two separate leagues to make room for everyone. If we got the two team format though, the we'll need at least 20 teams so that it can be a 10 league team.
While the above description of the league we envision reflects our personal preferences for fantasy baseball, it's your league. So voice interest in joining, make suggestions on the format, and most importantly: start talking some trash. It'll be in vain if you do, though, because I'm going to crush this league.

You.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy. - Nolan

I'd love to.
And, to paraphrase the Geto Boys:
I don’t care how many SABR blogs you pay attention to
Or the fact you subscribe to BPro, I see the bitch in you
Goood start guys
Five so far…who else wants in? Everyone can learn a thing or two from me.

I'm a lurker here mostly . . .
but an avid fantasy player and I have an opening for a new league . . . my 20-team dynasty league (2nd last year) and 16 team -10 keeper league (Champ last year) both folded in their 3rd and 4th years . . . leaving me with only the 16 team dynasty league I won last year in its inaugural year. With that resume maybe I should be lobbying for this to be some sort of keeper/dynasty league!
Any format is fine by me . . . I am good at them all.
Count me in
Couldn’t get on a computer for a while…
12/14/16 team roto, 5×5 cats with a live draft sitting on Saturday night American EST would be ideal for me.
JEFF TEAGUE TIME.
i always missed the cutoff in the past
but i’d be interested in participating if there’s room. let me know if you can’t access the email that’s associated with this account.
It looks like...
unless I miscounted, these are the first 12. so we have enough for at least one league…if we can find 12 more, we can set up another league

there should be
we can make one huge league, or hopefully a few more people will show some interest and we’ll be able to make two
