Razzball Nation!
The Baseball Razzball Elite League is here!
Oh man, I haven’t been this excited since the Brewers traded for CC Sabathia. Has anyone thought back on the irony of CC playing for a team named about alcohol creation? Cust kayin’!
So over on Hoops, we’ve had a ton of fun creating The Razzball Elite League, made for the deepest of deep and faintest of heart. Or not the faintest… Don’t you not want faint?! Worst open ever!
I gotta say, commenters are my heroes. Who would’ve thought someone named Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo would be the inspiration for what will easily become my favorite fantasy league?! But last year, seeing their league listed in a comment here, got my balls rolling. No, not dropping, OK?! Jo Jo Jr was my flash of genius in creating the REL Baseball League, but it may be my flash of overly-obfuscating, we shall see!
I’m not going to list out the full rules, since that would REALLY be the worst post ever. So here’s the Cliff’s [Lee] Notes – The Razzball Elite League is a team-based dynasty, where you have to ALWAYS own 15 players from your parent team’s roster. There’s obviously 30 MLB teams, so it’s a 30-team league, however split into 15-team AL only and 15-team NL only leagues. The two leagues are Roto, and play through the first 148 games. Then the final two weeks, the pennant winners of the AL and NL Roto leagues play each other in a H2H World Series. On top of your 15 player quota from your parent team you manage a full 25-man roster (with a lot of DL and a few NA spots) and manage a farm system with your parent team’s prospects. It’s going to be a fun way to blend real-life MLB situations (monitoring trade markets, tanking, contacts, etc.) with the standard 5×5 roto fantasy system.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
