2010 International Shoe Fantasy Baseball

I'd like to welcome everyone back to the league for another year. Well, not everyone. Chris Vardaro has moved on after 6 years of service, and Mike Mano will be inheriting Vardaro's team, which I understand will now become Clobbersaurus. Chris is a nice guy and we all wish him well in rehab.

I have set-up the league based on the email polling that we did last week, and here's everything you need to know:

A chart with the keeper values was emailed to everyone on 2/10/10. Please review it for accuracy and then select your (7) keepers. The keepers will be due in one month (3/10/10).

Key dates are as follows:
March 10, 2010 (midnight EST) : Keepers are due

March 15, 2010 (noon EST) : Email hybrid draft begins

April 4, 2010 : Major League Baseball season begins


We will use the Yahoo! website that I sent you a link to:
http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/171742

ID# is 171742 and the Password is Procop.

The Yahoo! league is free and has live scoring.


The league entry fee will be $100 per team
Please send a check for $100 to me at:

Mike McKeon
116 E Montgomery Ave
Apt 110B
Ardmore, PA 19003


The pot will be divided as follows:
1st place: $600
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $100


Draft and waiver order are determined based on the reverse of last year's regular season standings, and are as follows:
1. Gary
2. Ricky
3. Mike Martin
4. Kyle
5. Mike Mano
6. Clarence
7. Emeson (lost in championship game to Anthony)
8. McKeon
9. Brady
10. Ginsburg
11. Anthony (Division winner, 2009 champion)
12. Stavros (Division winner)


As a refresher, some of the basic rules are:
