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

Seattle Mariners.  I lived in Seattle for 10 years and fell in love with the experience at Safeco and the way the fans love that team.


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)?


I've been playing elite level leagues like this one since 2004.  I'm currently in one other 30 team league (High Heat), a 14 team daily matchup league, and I run my own 16 team dynasty league.  All are on proboards and fantrax.

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


I usually respond to PM's on proboards sites within 12 hours at the most.  I check my leagues several times a day.


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'm adept at rebuilding teams in leagues like this.  That's actually what attracted me to the Red Sox roster in this league.  I think it needs to go thru the entire rebuild process, which will take patience and about 3 seasons in order to contend.  My question to you is...are full on rebuilds allowed here or is there a rule about having a minimum number of players actually scoring points?  I didn't see one, but I might have missed it.

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


Not really.

Please post links to any other leagues you participate in.

Hi Jared. Nice to meet you.

I will have more time later in the day to come back on and answer any questions I can help with. Rangers GM (Stephen) will also have a secondary questionnaire.

To answer your question, no, we don’t have any rules limiting the scope of a rebuilding project. There’s no requirement to field a full team. Whatever you think is in the best interest of your franchise.

Thanks again for the application and welcome.

[Rangers GM (Stephen)]

Jared has received and completed the secondary questionnaire, but on reflection he has decided that this league would be too much to add to his existing fantasy commitments and he has decided to withdraw.
