It's slow so I'll make the annoying fantasy post for the day.

Anyone play Sandbox fantasy baseball? We have great dynasty league and there may be a couple openings. Details:

-Finishing our 2nd year
-The only 16 team league in Sandbox
-30 man active MLB roster
-30 man FARM/MiLB roster
-5 man DL
-60 keepers total
-FYP draft every Aug (after the signing deadline)
-Winter meetings: FA/Prospect draft in Dec
-MLB AND MiLB FA during the season, no waiting on the next prospect draft to pick up the guy you want
-H2H (I'm a roto guy but H2H in Sandbox is fun, like 2 games of football every week)
-No hitting or pitching limits

We also have a league website to host the drafts and for off-season activity.

Thanks,
Brian

Sandbox?

Is that the same league service that was bought out a few years ago, and has basically been replaced by Yahoo? I thought they had gone away and never come back.

Ditto

I know I played on Sandbox for a season or two back in like 2002 or so (the years that Redding and Prior made their debuts and Kaz Sasaki was good). But I thought they had closed down completely.

Good to hear they are running again though, I enjoyed the leagues I was in with them. Navigating the site was a bit iffy at times until you got used to it, but I still liked the site.

Still going

I don't believe they ever had anything to do with Yahoo. They have been affiliated RotoWorld and now with USA Today. It switched to a pay site a few years ago and after some growing pains it's back to being a pretty fun place to play. For a pay site it's a pretty good deal... about $6 a month and you get several teams in each sport. The SBX leagues have a lot of customization and great keeper options. Anyone in the RW database can be added in Sandbox so that is nice for leagues with minors.
