Sabermetrics! Fantasy League is live.

Yahoo! opened their fantasy baseball season and I have renewed the league. I don't like using AA for league purposes so this will be the last FanShot about it until it's time to virtually hand out our magnificent trophy. I have sent out invite emails to last year's managers via Yahoo! so look in your inboxes. Returning managers get priority but if some decline or don't respond (Gina are you out there?) there will be available spots for those AA'ers who are interested. While I have your attention (hopefully), I have made some tweaks to last years set up. The scoring is the same but I have added a RP slot and a IF slot in an effort to counteract the SP-dominance. I am open to suggestion with regard to that IF slot. When re-uping for the league, please be sure to check the boxes for receiving league notices and message board updates. This is pretty crucial. Also, be sure to bookmark and join the Sabermetrics! League blog. This is also very important because that is where we will be deciding draft time and other important things (there are already two polls open there).

[O]f the $136.7M the Mets spent on players in 2011, $72.8M was given to players who could contribute to the team on a given night, and the other $63.9M went to players who were on the DL, players who were collecting big league checks in the minors, or players who the Mets were still paying, but who were no longer with the ball club.
