Fantasy MLB Transactions
Before this message gets deleted as spam ... I've been a member of the Athletics Nation for several years. I wanted to share a project I've been involved with with the other SB Nation members.
Just wanted to let everyone know about a new fantasy baseball game that can be played all year round.
Here's the link for the "home" page for the game:
http://www.flooza.com/games/4/home
I am a web designer and have been working on a new web site (http://www.flooza.com) for over a year now where you can create your own fantasy game (called a "flooza"). Not being a football fan, I was jones-ing after baseball season ended to play some fantasy ..... so I created a flooza that can be played off-season as well as during the regular season. It is based on MLB transactions such as trades, signings, etc. (see the list of scoring stats below).
It's free to register and play.
I've been testing it for the last several months and it's pretty fun if you are into trying to guess the next trade or keep track of player movements between the big leagues and minors. The players available are all the MLB General Managers, all MLB teams and all players on all 40-man rosters, plus lots of minor leaguers and prospects (I add a few new players a day!)
I have created a special league for the mlb blogger world if anyone wants to try it out. Here's the link:
http://www.flooza.com/leagues/138/create_team
The players/positions for this flooza are:
| GM: | General Manager |
| PRO: | MLB Baseball Player |
| TEAM: | MLB Team |
Here is the complete list of scoring stats:
Scoring "Stategories"
| DFA | Designated For Assignment |
| FIRE | Manager or General Manager fired |
| MNRC | Signed to Minor League contract |
| OPT | Optioned to the Minor Leagues |
| OUTR | Outrighted to Minor Leagues |
| RCLL | Recalled player/Player recalled from Minor Leagues |
| REL | Released player/Player released |
| SIGN | Signed/Re-signed to Major League Contract (number of years) |
| SUSP | Any player in entire system suspended for any reason |
| T | Trade |
| WAIV | Claimed Off Waivers |
If you want to play you can either create a league and invite your friends, or join a public league. It's free to register and play.
Of course, you can also create your own fantasy game if you are so inclined. You can see what others have created here http://www.flooza.com/games. It's a brand new site so things are just getting cooking.
