Hi, fellow Royalitos.

I'm running a non-keeper fantasy league on ESPN for the third year, and was lookin fer folks to stock it a bit deeper this time. We have about 10 so far, and we're looking for 20 to get a bit of depth in the rosters and reward those who can see past the A-Rods and the G-Loads.

We also have a couple of interesting statistics for the rotisserie, including, on the position player side, pitches per plate appearance and (the obviously deeply flawed but still amusing) errors; and on the pitching side using K/BB, OBP-against, and both wins and win% to encourage starts but avoid the annoyances of the losses category.

If you'd like to participate, please email me at sean.strasburg at the google app which rhymes with "email".com. There are a number of AL Central-team fans playing.

(The current settings, like league-name and scoring details, are not final.)

I hope this is an appropriate use of RR!
Thanks.:)

Head-to-head?

no, just straight old fashioned rotisserie.

no head-to-head matchups, just as if a team was playing to accumulate stats and not really win games per se.

the rotisserie-accumulation formulation i think is more statistically accurate, but it doesn’t have the sort of heads-up action of head-to-head, i suppose. but i’ve never done the latter.

I just don’t like roto leagues. After the first half of the season, there’s almost no movement in the standings. Things get locked in. Head-to-head leagues stay interesting all season long.

I actually like

roto, but pitches per plate appearance? Very weird. More of a traditional roto guy i guess.
