Guest Commisioners for FanGraphs Fantasy

Well, here we are. It’s the beginning of March, the birds are chirping, baseball is being played, and it’s fantasy baseball drafting season for most of us. It’s also supposed to be the day that the FanGraphs Fantasy game, ottoneu, becomes more expensive. Well, as some of you may have already noticed, that won’t be the case. A new team will continue to cost $9.99, and we hope that helps you keep a few more duckets in your pocket while you have fun managing your new team.

We’ve extended the low-price early-bird special… and we hope to bring you even more exciting news about other ottoneu offerings in the coming days. Mysterious!

But that’s not the only fun thing we get to announce today. In order to add some value to the game, we’ve searched high and wide in order to find you some Guest Commissioners to play with. These players have agreed to attach their name to an ottoneu league – and you get to take them on. Hopefully, on this list, is a writer you’ve wanted to battle. Now you get to test your wits against:

Zach Sanders (FanGraphs)
Chris Cwik (FanGraphs)
Michael Rathburn (RotoExperts)
The Common Man (Platoon Advantage)
Will Moller (ItsAboutTheMoneyStupid)
John Halpin (FOXSports)
Ben Jedlovec (Baseball Info Solutions)
Derek VanRiper (RotoWire)
Justin Merry (BeyondtheBoxscore, FanGraphs)
Jeff Gross (TheHardballTimes)
Josh Shepardson (TheHardballTims)
Sam Miller (The Orange County Register)
Craig Brown (Baseball Prospectus)
Matthew Callan (AmazinAvenue)
Tim Heaney (KFFL)
Eriq Gardner (Bloomberg Sports, FantasyBaseballJunkie.com)
Reggie Yinger (Baseball Press)
Justin Phan (Fantasy Baseball Cafe)
DJ Short (RotoWorld)

A few administrative things. The draft date set by our guest commissioners is final if they want it to be. Hopefully, they’ll list the draft time in the league title, along with their name and affiliation, so you can easily peruse draft times and commissioners when you search for a new league. This also goes for the league settings. We hope that you will be respectful of the commissioners, but bring your “A” game.

Because it’s a good list of fantasy players.
