Beane Counters is a free Yahoo league with prospect drafts and rosters kept on a well organized site.

The league will be entering its 2nd year and is changing from a rookie keeper to a dynasty format. New owners will inherit a good group of rookies and prospect plus get to pick their veterans.

The format is a bit unique. It's actually two leagues, an AL only and a NL only with each of the 12 owners having a team in each. Owners will compete in each league and also for an overall title which will be updated weekly on the league's home page. Your ranking will be calculated by your combined rank in each category.

8x8 Roto
(R HR RBI SB BB AVG OBP SLG)
(W SV K HLD ERA WHIP K/BB K/9)

Yahoo Roster: 30 or more in each league
Prospect Roster: currently 15, probably expanding to 20

I know some of the categories seem redundant but we have used the format for several years (same league but non-keeper) and it and everyone seems to like it. There is a good balance of compiling and ratios that makes the standings interesting but it also emphasizes the numbers people like us follow closely.

If you are interested please feel free to contact me and check out the web site.
