Which is your favorite real life team? How did you end up following them?

The Boston Red Sox. I was raised a Sox fan my whole life, and I've sat through 2004 (breaking the curse), and 2007, but in those cases I was too young to really understand the game. Then in 2013, I fell in love with the sport, just in time to see the Boston Strong season. It was absolutely magical. After that season I got really into the analytics to the game, and I have a pretty big knowledge of the modern game, and a pretty good knowledge of early knickerbocker play.

How did you find this league?

Please give a brief overview of your fantasy baseball experience. How many other leagues are you currently a member of, and what format are they (ie H2H, roto, redraft, keeper, auction etc)?

How often will you be available to be contacted by fellow owners in this league?

I am currently in four leagues, and in my main league, that's local (EPSN, H2H points, redraft, 8 team), I am in first, with the most points scored this season. I am the League Manager, and I set up every possible customisable aspect because I just love to tinker with that kind of thing. Fantasy is the place that I go to relax and take my mind off things. Fantasy is my meditation.

I can be contacted any day of the week by email, and I will respond in a timely manner. Once I get an email about fantasy, I can't wait to read and respond!

This is a league with 30 teams in it, and as such it can be expected that there will be a rather large number of teams that will not contend every season. Would you be content with building for the future? Do you need to always be in competition in order to remain interested in the league?

I am in this for the long run, as anyone should be in a keeper league. I've read all over your website (which is amazing by the way, so in depth, which is something I love!) and I really think I will enjoy the way you do things around here. Even if I come in last year in and year out, I don't think I could get bored of micromanaging my prospects. Rebuilding is the most fun aspect of any sport in my opinion. While some people may find it boring and not worth it, once you discover that diamond in the rough that you knew would be good, it all pays off.

Is there any other information you think we as a league should know in order to best determine your eligibility?

I may be young, but don't let that underestimate me. If you give me this chance, I'll make a damn competitive team.

Thank you for your consideration.


EDIT: If the position has already been filled by NY Ace, I send the best of wishes to him, and just ask that you keep my application on file for the wait list, and let me know if another position becomes available.

Hi Sean,

Nice to meet you. The application looks great. We had a previous applicant for the Tigers. Rangers GM (Stephen) will be more aware of the progress on that. If Tigers is filled, there may always be others who drop off. Would you be willing to be on standby?

It's great to meet someone so enthused about the game. Some of the younger members though have had difficulty with the etiquette required with a format requiring so much communication. Thanks in advance for your patience with us...

Either Stephen or myself will get back in touch soon. Thanks and welcome.

EDIT: I just noticed your edit. Thanks for your flexibility.

Sean has been contacted with the secondary questionnaire so that we can consider whether he is suitable for the league, and whether he will be placed on the waiting list.
With D'backs owner currently being unresponsive, a vacancy could be open at any moment.
