Hey all. I'm Scott. An absolute fantasy baseball nutjob. And I'm extremely excited to get this league going. I've wanted to get into a brand new 30-team dynasty league for the last couple years. Joined one in 2010 going into it's 2nd year and that league fell apart with owners that didn't pay $10. Then this off season I joined what looked to be a decent one but it seems to have imploded with people leaving before it even began as there was lack of commissioner communication and direction. I won't let that happen here. I will have some sort of check-in process, maybe ask for a post at least once a month. Just an idea.
That said, I'm 41, married with 2 amazing boys, and live in Longmeadow, MA (Western Massachusetts, right next to Springfield). I'm from Burlington, MA (Eastern Mass, about 20 minutes NW of Boston). Went to Syracuse for Broadcast Journalism (Go Orange!) and got my Masters (in Middle School Education) at Fitchburg State College (now FSUniversity). I am now Business Development Manager at Envision Marketing Group in East Longmeadow, MA. We do web design, SEO, social media, email marketing, graphic design, branding, print, and more.
As for fantasy, I'm in several leagues, and this one is different from all of them.
1. Co-commish of a 10-team 1/2 Roto 1/2 H2H keeper, straight draft league on CBS, going into it's 14th season. $95 entry and $1 add/drops, $3 trades. Payouts to Roto and H2H winners.
2. Co-owner of a team in a 16-team keeper auction league on CBS. Going into it's 5th season I believe. $110 entry fee. I believe there are a few openings so if anyone here's interested in that, let me know and I can get you in touch with that Commish.
3. For-fun Yahoo Roto keeper league, 12 teams, straight draft, going on 7th or 8th year - not sure.
4. For-fun Yahoo H2H keeper league, 10 teams, going on 2nd year. Taylor (Braves) here is the Commish.
5. For-fun Yahoo Roto keeper league, 20 teams, going on 2nd year, Salary Cap. Ben (Nationals) here is in that league with me.
Plus I do a couple HR pools on the side. Like I said, I'm whacked.
All I can say is, I love it. MLB Extra Innings all summer long. Give me a Cubs-Padres game late at night and I'm in heaven. Go Sox! Go Pats!
I'm excited to get to know all of you. Good luck, and have fun! And follow me on Twitter if you're on there. I'm @scotty_Ballgame

Hi My name is Chuck. I am a die hard 4 for 4 Philadelphia Sports fan. I was happy the Eagles signed a new Football coach this week (Chip kelly). I was elated when the Phillies finally won a Baseball title in 2008. My favorite sport of coarse is Baseball. I have played fantasy Baseball for 20+ years and love it. I have just started doing the Dynasty League's the past couple years. I participate in a couple leagues at ProFSL.com and really enjoy them. The people are nice and very into their Baseball. So I am very excited to join this league and compete with a bunch of nice Baseball fanatics. I currently live in Cinnaminson, NJ and work at Princeton University in the Financial Treasure's Office. I am married for 26 years and have two lovely Daughters. Looking forward to a great year of Baseball. Pitchers and Catchers in about of a month. Play Ball!!!

Drew, 24. New owner of the Chicago Blue Jays.
Currently living in Atlanta, GA and working on my Master's.
Grew up in Birmingham, AL and went to Auburn University for a BA in Broadcast Journalism.
Been a Braves fan all my life, but no other real professional allegiances. Just my Auburn Tigers.
Been playing fantasy baseball for about 10 years now I think. Been in the same dynasty league for 8 of those. Done a couple other short-lived dynasties and continue to play in 4-5 yearly leagues. This will be my first salary cap league, so I am looking forward to the added challenge.

Hey -- I'm Chris.
Live in Madison, WI. Big time Badgers/Packers/Bucks/Brewers fan. Grew up in Beloit (45 min south of Madison), which now hosts the A's single-A affiliate (used to be Brewers' affiliate when I was growing up, so I saw Prince, Weeks, Sheets, etc.), so I get to watch a few minor league games every year. Graduated from UW-Madison in 2011, now work at a law firm as a lobbyist, mostly on energy issues. 24 years old. Getting married this summer.
Currently in 2 other long-term dynasty leagues and usually play in one redraft with guys I grew up with. Also play fantasy football and basketball. The NY Diamondbacks team stinks right now, but I'm looking forward to the challenge of rebuilding and contending in a few short years.

Hey everyone! My name is Ryan Bouillion and I'll be taking over the Cincinnati Twins. This works out a bit for me as I live in Cincinnati and have been enjoying Reds baseball since the day I was born. This day was a little over 22 years ago now. I'm actually from a small town about 90 miles north of Cincinnati called Chillicothe and moved here four years ago for school. I'm currently in my 4th year at the University of Cincinnati and graduate in August of 2014 with a BS in Nuclear Medicine. Having grown up near Columbus, I'm also a big Buckeyes fan. Buckeyes, Bearcats, Bengals, and Reds help keep me sane. Or drive me crazy if it's the postseason.
As for fantasy baseball, I'm in two other keeper leagues. One is a 30 owner dynasty league similar to this one. It's going into its third year now and it's been a blast. I've learned so much about the game and its players from this enormous league. I'm the commissioner of the other keeper league. It's a simple H2H, 12 owner keeper league. It's in its 4th year of existence now and still going strong. I'm in a few other non-keeper redraft leagues with friends for fun. All together I usually compete in 5-6 leagues every year. Some come and go from year to year. This league appears to be a new challenge for me but it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for having me!

What's up guys,
I am Brandon and I will be taking over the Colorado Rays (Colorado Devil Rays, Tampa Bay Rockies, Tampa Rockies, oh the possibilities!). This is my fourth league of this type (I am also the Houston Brewers in DD4) and I cannot get enough. I love the front office aspect of the game almost as much as I love watching. I have been involved in fantasy sports for close to 15 years and have a blast doing it.
I am 36 and I live in central Texas (New Braunfels, right between Austin and San Antonio). I have two daughters 15 and 12 and they are more than a handful! Teenage girls make sure my man cave does not get neglected! My favorite pro teams are the Astros, Texans, Predators, and Tottenham Hotspur. I am one of the few Americans I know that live and die with their EPL (English Premier League). Considering the Astros, between the bountiful 90s, the lean last few years, and the recent turnaround, I have run the gamet of emotion but can't imagine it any other way. I love all sports and the fantasy that goes along with them. Outside of baseball, I am currently involved in a dynasty hockey league as well as a dynasty EPL league.
For a real job, I work as a quality engineer for a Continental Automotive Systems and love the analytics that come with it. I think that helps me dig deeper in the numbers with fantasy sports as well. I guess I just love numbers.
I am super excited to be a part of this league and cannot wait to get the ball rolling! Also, I love prospects and making deals. Look forward to working with and competing against all of you! Cheers!
Brandon
