Other roto leagues

I realized something about Rotohog yesterday...

While I have been all about the main prizes ($100K), the best part of RH is the ability to have a completely fair league. It will eliminate all the usual crap I deal with from fantasy baseball.

I've been in a league for nearly a decade with some friends from college. There have been a number of rule changes because fairness constantly seems to be a problem. Right now, it's a 12 team keeper league (10 keepers, no restrictions). I don't really like trading with anyone ... everyone is trying to rip everyone else off. Next year, I think I'm going to suggest that we put the league into RH so we don't have to deal with it.

RH needs to add some functionality whereby we can pay our $250/team (that league is fairly steep, I know) into the system, and get paid (according to our own leagues payout schedule) easily. 5% off the top for running the baseball and running the money, would be fair.

Will RH eliminate sportsline, espn, and the rest when this functionality gets added. Maybe one day...but not soon. There is still very much a place for live drafts and human to human trading, not to mention private message boards with the kind of commentary not fit for public consumption. But for leagues that are just one big headache after the draft...move em to the hog.
