Baseball is definitely the most boring sport. I can tolerate Soccer. I’m willing to learn about baseball history as we do this though. I’m also interested to see the final draft board.

While I appreciate the invite, I'm even worse at fantasy baseball than at fantasy basketball. And as those of you who remember when @dalamon invited me to Ugly's Yahoo basketball thing, I'm pretty freaking terrible.
Oh, but I can remember most of the batting lineup of the late 90s Braves because my sister watched Family Matters and Full House on Superstation and would leave the TV on after. I don't know if that would help in this fantasy draft, though.
Baseball is cricket for retards.

Not fantasy just a bunch of guys selecting any baseball player you want to form a team. It’s fun.

This draft is perfect for you then!
You obviously know nothing of cricket. Imagine a baseball game with only 2 bases that lasts for 3 days.

If this was soccer related, I would be in. Baseball sucks.
People that dont get soccer usually say that it's because there isnt enough scoring. If you got 7 points for a goal would it somehow be better? I mean, in football you get 3 points just for kicking the ball over a stick when you have 10 people blocking for you when you kick AND you get to back up the ball 20 yards from the nearest defender... that's considered a terrible shot in soccer where you typically have to kick that ball while on the move into a 3 foot window, 20 yards away with a goalie trying to block it.
If a field goal is worth 3 points then goals should be worth 30 points each. Would that somehow make the sport better? Nah.
Besides, Football games are usually is usually 3 - 4 or 4 - 6 or 2 - 0 (multiplied by 7). So it is only slightly higher scoring than soccer. In football a 48 minute game usually has less than 12 minutes of actual game play. Soccer is closer to 60 minutes of action with 30 minutes of setup and fouls.
I will get off my rant. I need more sports in my life. Until then, I am out on the baseball thing. Baseball truly sucks.
