PrintIf you're looking to start up or join a league this season but haven't yet gotten around to it, we're going to have a deal through which you can sign up for a CBSSports.com Commissioner League for half off. We'll get you the necessary codes and/or links before long. In all, it'll come out to less than $10 a person to join, and while I know Yahoo! is free, my understanding is that CBSSports.com is more customizable, and also comes with the live scoring that Yahoo! makes you pay for (note: or maybe this has changed). So, there you go. If I sound like a shill, it's because I am one, because CBSSports.com is paying me literally by the truckload. I don't have room for all these briefcases!
Also, I'm going to be running a league, where the two distinguishing features are (1) I'm running it, and (2) it'll be free to join. I invite competition, and while I'm not fantasy mastermind, I'm not above cheating.
CBSSports.com is an SB Nation partner and paying sponsor of the SB Nation baseball communities.
This post is one of a series of sponsor endorsed posts related to the CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball Commissioner League.

Wait. What?
I didn’t think we cared about Fantasy Baseball around these parts, but I will give it a try. Where do I sign up?
Racer X. You have to love those amarillo hops.
p.s. fuck you angels
It's not that we don't care about fantasy baseball
It’s that we don’t care about other people’s teams.
Don’t sign up yet. I should have referral codes by the end of the day.

I demand to be the Pete Carroll of this league
Failed miserably at fantasy in the past, went to BMO was wildly successful and now I want to give fantasy one more shot.
I will create an Excel list of all interested names and randomly select either 11 or 13 of them

Possibly fewer if I decide to invite a notable or two

Color me interested.
I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a notable, but I feel I score extra points because I’m easy to beat in the finals, a fact readily proven the last two years in my current league.
Because we’re rebels. Accurate, intelligent, introspective rebels. And damn proud of it my friend. - CapSea

I could not possibly give less of a shit

Live Scoring is Free on Yahoo! now.
It’s still the best, except for ESPN’s YouTube video posting ability.
I’m not a huge fan of Sportsline, although I’ve only ever used it for March Madness leagues.
Yeah, free as of this year.
I guess they finally got the memo.

Ah yes,
I don’t play for money usually. Good point.

Yahoo!
Yahoo! also has auction draft capability this year.
Yes, that too.
Yahoo’s game really is the best, but their message board is clunky and sorely lacking. ESPN has by far more of a social-networky feel with threaded posting, formatting and video/image posting. CBS sportsline has Jeff Sullivan, so there’s that.

CBS also has the most hilariously awful fantasy "experts."
Like this dude. Apparently, he thinks that it’s “seemingly” fundamental (and presumably insightful) that in rotisserie leagues, “you can’t rank any higher than first. Try as you might, you can’t.”
This is also great:
“It’s about balance — an even distribution across the board. Getting eight points in two categories is better than getting 12 in one and one in the other. The juggling act sounds tricky and in some ways backward from the straightforward get-as-many-points-as-possible approach of Head-to-Head play, but when you look past the gimmick and separate the few worthwhile considerations from all the distractions, you’ll end up appreciating Rotisserie for, above all, its simplicity.”
So roto scoring is tricky, backward, and gimmicky, but also simple? Who is his target audience here, anyway?

If you need more players, let me know
Sounds like there is already a lot of interest though.
