Fantasy Baseball Leagues-The Bigger, The Better
As Co-Commissioner of a 20 team fantasy baseball league, I find it difficult to understand how a 10 team league could be any fun. Every team would be stacked with all-stars. Where's the strategy? It's true that it's hard to find 20 managers who are active, but it can be done. We've done it in ours. It makes it a lot more fun because there's just more activity and buzz happening on the league message boards and draft parties are lots of fun and you can always seem to find somebody interested in talking trades with you. We've had to go through a process of weeding out some inactive managers over the years, but believe it or not, we've got a waiting list of friends who have asked to be in our league. That keeps everyone active because they know someone is waiting to take their place if they don't manage their team. If you are currently in a 10-12 team league, I highly encourage you to expand and reap the benefits.
