Looking for a few people to join a fantasy baseball league

I have a fantasy baseball league with some friends that has 2 (maybe 3) openings left. I'm looking for any one that would like to join so that I can fill the league.

League Details:

*Through ESPN.com

*10 Teams

*Style: Head-to-Head (Each Category)

*Standard 5x5 Scoring

*Live Draft on Thursday March 29th at 7:30pm (Pacific Time)

If you interested let me know, it will be first come first serve. I will need and e-mail address to send an invite to, so you can post in a comment or send me a message.

Any questions? Let me know and I'll answer.

Reigning MVP Out, Engram Questionable for Seahawks

The Seahawks will play this weekend without Shaun Alexander (last year's MVP) and possibly Bobby Engram. Coach Mike Holmgren declared Alexander out on Wednesday after calling him "iffy" on Monday. This will be Alexander's second missed start in a row do to the crack in his foot. Engram is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus their division rival St. Louis due to an illness.

Since Alexander will miss this start Maurice Morris will make his second consecutive start for the 'Hawks. He started 2 weeks ago versus the Chicago Bears and ran for 35 yards on 11 attempts with no touchdowns. Not a very impressive first start for Morris but you need to realize that he was playing one of the best defenses in the NFL and also that the Seahawks trailed that whole game so they were throwing to try and catch up. This week Morris is facing a St. Louis defense that allows 120.6 rushing yards per game (20th in the league), so expect Morris to have more yards. Remember last week BACKUP Noah Herron of Green Bay put up 106 yards and a touchdown on St. Louis so it doesn't take a pro-bowl caliber RB to put up yards against St. Louis. Also if Engram is out they may try to run a little more since that puts them at 3 good WR instead of 4. I think Morris will be a good start if you have a flex spot in your league or if you have Alexander and some of your other backs are on bye weeks. My prediction: 80 yards and a TD.

If Engram doesn't start on Sunday expect D.J. Hackett to see the playing time instead. With Engram out Deion Branch is likely to see his first start opposite of Darrell Jackson. Don't forget they also have Nate Burleson so they are not really hurting at the wide receiver position, unless you take into account that Engram had some of the best hands on the team as he was often thrown to on third down. Hackett isn't worth a pick up in fantasy leagues at all but the values of Jackson, Branch and Burleson all go up slightly because they will have more balls thrown their way.

Darrent Williams and his "Fro-Hawk"

For all of you that don't know what a "Fro-Hawk" is, it is basically a Mohawk made from an afro, so it is bushier then a normal Mohawk (Click on the URL to see a pic). Darrent Williams, the Denver Broncos CB opposite of Champ "Don't throw the ball my way" Bailey, debuted this hairstyle after the Broncos 13-3 win on Monday night. It was Williams's interception in the fourth quarter that set up a 4-yard Rod Smith touchdown that sealed the game for the Broncos. Soon Williams is going to be known for more than being the other CB in Denver. He had two interceptions last year a rookie and this year his has 1 INT, 3 passes defended and is third on the team in total tackles at 23, which ties him with Bailey.

If you play in a fantasy league where you have individual defensive players you might want to start looking at Williams now and down the line. He plays opposite of Bailey so he gets tons of balls thrown his way because QBs don't want to throw towards Bailey. This gives him a lot of chances to grab interceptions, defend passes, and make tackles. I think it a few years we could see this guy be a stud on the field, so keep an eye on him.

Sauerbrun gets cut by Broncos

Todd Sauerbrun was cut today by the Denver Broncos, the day he was suppose to return from a 4-game suspension for using the dietary supplement ephedra, which is a banned substance by the NFL. I find it hilarious that a punter was taking a dietary substance, I mean c'mon seriously you are a kicker does it matter all that much? I think Mike Shanahan put it best by saying "He's the only guy on the team which I don't care if he's fat. I don't care if he's 30 pounds overweight. All you've got to do is punt the ball. Kick it into the end zone." To everyone that has Sauerbrun as a punter on your fantasy team you should drop him if you even had him in the first place. I'm playing around, I don't think I have ever seen a league that has punters. But maybe they should?
