If you're looking to start up or join a league this season but haven't yet gotten around to it, we're going to have a deal through which you can sign up for a CBSSports.com Commissioner League for half off. We'll get you the necessary codes and/or links before long. In all, it'll come out to less than $10 a person to join, and while I know Yahoo! is free, my understanding is that CBSSports.com is more customizable, and also comes with the live scoring that Yahoo! makes you pay for (note: or maybe this has changed). So, there you go. If I sound like a shill, it's because I am one, because CBSSports.com is paying me literally by the truckload. I don't have room for all these briefcases!
Also, I'm going to be running a league, where the two distinguishing features are (1) I'm running it, and (2) it'll be free to join. I invite competition, and while I'm not fantasy mastermind, I'm not above cheating.
CBSSports.com is an SB Nation partner and paying sponsor of the SB Nation baseball communities.
This post is one of a series of sponsor endorsed posts related to the CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball Commissioner League.

Wait. What?
I didn’t think we cared about Fantasy Baseball around these parts, but I will give it a try. Where do I sign up?

It's not that we don't care about fantasy baseball
It’s that we don’t care about other people’s teams.
Don’t sign up yet. I should have referral codes by the end of the day.
Jeff Sullivan - March 4, 2010
How do I get in the Jeff league?
Fett42 - March 4, 2010
I pose the same question.
Mariner John - March 4, 2010
I question this pose too.
ToddK - March 4, 2010
I pose the same question?
JWAY - March 4, 2010
I, same, question the pose
blueside714 - March 4, 2010
I demand to be the Pete Carroll of this league
Failed miserably at fantasy in the past, went to BMO was wildly successful and now I want to give fantasy one more shot.
Robert - March 4, 2010
Interested!
Slurvey - March 4, 2010
Reply fail!
Slurvey - March 4, 2010
I will create an Excel list of all interested names and randomly select either 11 or 13 of them
Jeff Sullivan - March 4, 2010
Possibly fewer if I decide to invite a notable or two
Jeff Sullivan - March 4, 2010
Color me interested.
I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a notable, but I feel I score extra points because I’m easy to beat in the finals, a fact readily proven the last two years in my current league.
JLProck - March 4, 2010
Oh I am blushing
Poochie - March 4, 2010
Then consider me interested
Fett42 - March 4, 2010
Absolutely 100% interested.
Robert Lintott - March 4, 2010
Interested!
seattlecougar - March 4, 2010
I'm interested as well
BrettJMiller - March 4, 2010
I'm interested.
Coach Owens - March 4, 2010
Interested!
Slurvey - March 4, 2010
Throw me on the list please, sir.
SethGrandpa - March 4, 2010
INTERESTED
Griffin Cooper - March 4, 2010
Interested
blueside714 - March 4, 2010
I'm not really all that interested
Poochie - March 4, 2010
I don't think I need to say this but I am indeed interested.
Mariner John - March 4, 2010
Interested
Jeff Nusser - March 4, 2010
Please add me to the hat full of names from which you'll draw
serotonein - March 4, 2010
Ho ho ho. "Random"
Interested.
.Taylor - March 4, 2010
I could not possibly give less of a shit
Aaron Campeau - March 5, 2010
I doubt that
Fett42 - March 5, 2010
They must teach you how to detect lies in the Army
Aaron Campeau - March 5, 2010
When it comes to shit
You don’t give them. You take them.
wandergeist - March 5, 2010
I'm interested.
Put me on said spreadsheet
nkandoll - March 5, 2010
If you don't have room for all the briefcases wouldn't the prudent thing be to just ask CBS to pay you in higher bills?
Robert - March 4, 2010
I thought he was being paid in briefcases
Poochie - March 4, 2010
Live Scoring is Free on Yahoo! now.
It’s still the best, except for ESPN’s YouTube video posting ability.
I’m not a huge fan of Sportsline, although I’ve only ever used it for March Madness leagues.
88fingerslukee - March 4, 2010
Interesting...
Jeff Sullivan - March 4, 2010
Yeah, free as of this year.
I guess they finally got the memo.
88fingerslukee - March 4, 2010
CBS is best if you want to actually win money.
ESPN has the auction drafts now, which is awesome.
hcoguy - March 4, 2010
Ah yes,
I don’t play for money usually. Good point.
88fingerslukee - March 4, 2010
Yahoo!
Yahoo! also has auction draft capability this year.
cowdisciple - March 4, 2010
Yes, that too.
Yahoo’s game really is the best, but their message board is clunky and sorely lacking. ESPN has by far more of a social-networky feel with threaded posting, formatting and video/image posting. CBS sportsline has Jeff Sullivan, so there’s that.
88fingerslukee - March 4, 2010
CBS also has the most hilariously awful fantasy "experts."
Like this dude. Apparently, he thinks that it’s “seemingly” fundamental (and presumably insightful) that in rotisserie leagues, “you can’t rank any higher than first. Try as you might, you can’t.”
This is also great:
“It’s about balance — an even distribution across the board. Getting eight points in two categories is better than getting 12 in one and one in the other. The juggling act sounds tricky and in some ways backward from the straightforward get-as-many-points-as-possible approach of Head-to-Head play, but when you look past the gimmick and separate the few worthwhile considerations from all the distractions, you’ll end up appreciating Rotisserie for, above all, its simplicity.”
So roto scoring is tricky, backward, and gimmicky, but also simple? Who is his target audience here, anyway?
Nadingo - March 4, 2010
Scott White doesn't look like he is of age to have a job.
Mariner John - March 4, 2010
Ditto I’m up for some fantasy baseball. I’ve used CBS a couple times now both the free and commissioner version.
Klatzy - March 4, 2010
If you need more players, let me know
Sounds like there is already a lot of interest though.
Edgar for Pres - March 4, 2010
Throw me on the list of people who are interested in joining you Jeff.
Kirk - March 4, 2010 via mobile
I'll be willing to throw my name on the list.
forte40 - March 4, 2010
Every year I think about it but have yet to join a league. So yes, point me in the right direction and I will join an LL league.
