Predraft Information

The 2008 Predraft Rosterbook has the final 2007 rosters from each team along with keeper eligibilities and 2008 position eligibilities for some batters. I designed it to help each team make keeper decisions, but you may find it a handy tool to use to track the draft as well. The roster book is an Excel file and is approximately 1,154kb.

Some other useful information:

• 2008 Preliminary Draft Order (74k Word document)
• 2008 Players Eligible at Multiple Positions
• 2008 Keeper Eligibility
• 2008 Draft Picks Traded in 2007. Any other picks traded during the preseason will be listed in their own post. You can also see a full list of picks traded.
• Queue Instructions for the draft site

Welcome to the new blog for the Queen City Fantasy League. We'll be using this site to keep our owners up to date for the preseason activity, and to track league news (like trades for draft picks) all year long.

We're still working on getting things in order, but keep your eyes out for the annual welcome back email. We've tentatively discussed kicking things off on Feb 18th, so expect something around then. If you don't hear from us, email queencityfantasyleague@gmail.com or check back here for more updates.
