I got roped into the fantasy sports last spring by my friend who sent me a challenge to join a fantasy baseball team. In turn, my friend e-mailed others to join our division and a friendly rivalry was born. While each system is different, the basic premise of my league is based on performance.
Players rack up points on how they do.
The better stats they have, the more points they earn. In my league trades are key to doing well. So if you have Ken Griffey on your team and he is playing Wednesday but his team has the next day off you would want to trade him. For instance, last week I picked up Green Bay kicker Ryan Longwell who kicked four field goals the week before. This week my friend who is ahead of me picked up Ravens quarterback Trent Dilfer.
