I have very limited time right now, but will be performing at the Comedy Forum in the St. Louis area this week, so I have Saturday afternoon to do a draft. 

Bill James and Stats, INC. came up with a scoring system that was supposed to be a better version of fantasy baseball. I was invited into a league by one of the contributors at the Toaster who uses this system, but couldn't make it work, so I thought I would make my own league using the system.  I did tweak a few things, as the James system also included 20 points for no-hitters and hitting for the cycle, plus 5 points for grand slam homers.  I excluded these, but did add 2 points for quality starts.  If you are interested, join up at http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com    You should click on Baseball '08 join a league.

The league ID is: 205329  The password is: juiceblog

If this doesn't work for you, I will try to set up a second draft next week, as long as the twins don't happen then.  Below I pasted all the details, so you know what you are getting yourself into.

Looks like fun, my man. I've been trying to figure out how to edit the draft order... can't do it, which is probably a good thing. :)

No rules outlawing repeats, right? :-)
