What's the number one excuse why baseball fans don't play fantasy sports? "*sniffle* I just don't have time to change my pitchers out every day for six months!" Exactly, and for some reason, the sniffle is always there.
Well, there's a site now...and let me preface this by saying that, while this may sound like spam, it most certainly is not. I'm not getting anything out of this blurb at all. I am bringing this up because the idea behind it is so brilliant that I can't believe it hasn't been done before. So, ahem...back to the previous statement, there's a site now, DraftMix.com, where you can go play fantasy baseball in leagues that run as short as a day and as long as a week. You can play for free or you can play for money.
The idea started from wanting to create a poker site. But, current legislation brought that concept to a halt, which in the grand scheme of things was a total blessing. Out of a grounded poker room attempt came the best idea I've heard in fantasy sports in a long time.
If you've played online poker, the feel is familiar. You enter the draft room, and you see a list of open draft rooms (just like open tables in poker). Choose a room and enter it. When the draft begins you pick your team amongst the other managers just as you would once a season in normal fantasy baseball. But, with DraftMix, if you pick a week long league and you draft on Saturday, your league will finish up and the winner will be determined the following Friday. There's no bench players, there's no swapping out pitchers.
Everyone knows the most fun you have during a fantasy season is during the draft, so why limit yourself to doing them once a year? Draft whenever you want and compete with the team you draft rather than doing a mock draft and saying, "Yep, that's a good team."
I'm telling you, I've played around on DraftMix for the past year and love it. I just wanted to spread the love.
