The Puck Stops Here

Last Friday, I worried about what the implications of major league baseball buying the rights to all internet fantasy baseball might be for the fan and casual player(like myself). We seem to have our answer.

Today, Yahoo fantasy baseball was launched for the 2005 season. It looks the same as normal. They have free leagues and pay leagues (with more bells and whistles). At this point, it looks like there is no difference to Yahoo fantasy baseball when compared to last year.

My duffer league (composed of fantasy hockey players) is getting organized. I have signed up for it. Our draft is already scheduled for Tuesday, March 22nd. As that date closes, I'm sure I will write more about it.

So if the NHL were to take over internet fantasy hockey, as long as its unchanged to the fantasy player (like this appears to be), I have no concerns about it.
