TAFBP's Inaugural MLB Wins League Draft
Opening Day is less than one week away, and to celebrate Derek VanRiper and Michael Beller decided to get one more league on the books. It's not a traditional fantasy league, however, but an MLB wins league. Fantasy Baseball in 15 host Al Melchior joined DVR and Beller, with all three of them selecting 10 teams in a snake draft format. Whoever's group of 10 has the most wins at the end of the season wins the league.
