I could see dislike for the format and, in a sense, rooting for players to perform poorly. Then again, we root for players to do well and that's at the expense of other players...and we root against players on our competitors' teams....hell, in that case, in a 10 team Razzball league, I'm rooting for 90% of the league's players and only rooting against 10%. It's an improvement from a karma perspective! The like/dislike of the format aside, I think this game requires more thinking than regular fantasy baseball. No experts giving tips (except us of course!). No default rankings. And there's the case where bad players get replaced way more often than good players... We'll have to see whether it's actually enjoyable to play...if it isn't, well, yeah, then it's dumb... Rudy C’mon IowaCubs -

Dave Roberts has a chance to be great while Rowand and Winn are solid late-round OF choices. Hard not to speculate on Zito...poor guy... That said, I'm feeling all tingly about the Giants' Eugenio Velez. He has potential to go 50/50 (50 SB, 50 Errors) if they give him 120+ Games....hopefully they trade some of the old filler so he can get a shot.
