    I'm looking for a few more managers to participate in a craft beer fantasy baseball league. The league runs through ESPN and is a 14 team, non-keeper H2H format. If interested PM me your email address. If you have any questions, ask away. Thanks!

    What is the prize structure/how is the beer involved?

    I'm not interested, but I think the winner of your league should get a 12 oz of craft from every other player.

    Finish in the top three. Each manager's buy-in for the league is a box of beer containing a minimum of 75 ounces.

    1st place - 8 boxes
    2nd place - 4 boxes
    3rd place - 2 boxes

    I will be asking that each manager send me their address. We will be using www.seekabrew.com to ensure that the winning managers will not be receiving beers they have access to. Even the winning managers will be asked to send a box to another winning manager to keep in the spirit of sharing local beers. I will do my best as League Commisioner to see that all winners receive the optimal variety of beers from the participants. Hold off on acquiring beers until August or September, unless something that really stands out is available. Fresh is best.

    So even the winners send a box?

    This should also go to the beer it forward thread.

    Yeah, winners a too. It makes it more enjoyable this way IMO.

    Good idea of posting this on the BIF thread also.

    This is an awesome idea. I don't play on Espn, but would be interested in doing one through Yahoo if others are.

    When you say that the winners send a box, is this on top of the buy in box or is that the same thing? I am probably interested.

    Theoretically the standings at the end are as follows:

    Team A
    Team B
    Team C

    Team A sends their box to Team B, Team B sends their box to Team C, and Team C sends their box to team A. This would satisfy everyone's buy in, correct?

    Is ESPN free? I have only gone through Yahoo in the past.

    Why doesn't someone set another one up on Yahoo? Y! does seem to be most people's preferred fantasy game, including myself.

    Yep, you are correct.

    ESPN is free and teams are still available.

    League invitations have just been sent to those of you who PM'd me your email.

    I'm someone else would like to run a separate Yahoo! league I'm all for it. I would only ask that you not draft the night of March 18th. I would be interested in the Yahoo! league as well.

    I wouldn't be opposed to an auction draft for a future season, but for this one, I think a regular snake draft would be ideal.
