I got a new baseball book a couple days ago, Fantasyland. It’s a great read, I’m already 100 pages into it. Pretty much it’s non fiction book about fantasy baseball. Anyone that enjoys baseball and fantasy baseball should give it a read, it’s a fun book .
So after 1 year away from keeper league fantasy baseball, I’m back on the wagon, or is that off the wagon? My best friend Doug who I’ve been in a fantasy baseball league of some quality since high school started a league with another friend of ours last year, after the previous keeper league we did died. Well one of the guys that is a mutual acquaintance ended up dropping out, and Doug asked me if I wanted his team. After thinking about it for awhile I decided to take over the team. Unfortunately this team will require a big make over to become the type of team I’m proud to call my own. This is what I got to work with so far. Take into consideration that this is the full roster, of which I have to select 17 to keep by next weekend. Those that are bold are the ones I’ve currently decided to keep (things may change). But I don’t know all the league rules regarding positions to make a completely educated decision yet.
