What are the awards for winning it all?

Honor.

It's a free league. FREE, man! Just the thing you've been looking for. It beckons, within your grasp.

Two spots remaining! Two! Get 'em while they're hot! You too could be a baseball tycoon. Set your lineup once a week, sit back and watch your points pile up. It's the life of Riley, I tell you.

Thanks, but I will pass on a freebie.

I enjoy winning the coin off of my fellow competitors.

Good luck though.

It's hard enough getting ten people to commit to a free league. A pay league would be nearly impossible.

Playing fantasy baseball on cbssports.com is like doing an internet search on altavista.

Needless to say, that comparison is lost on me.

I like cbssports because you can't do head-to-head at yahoo. All they have is rotisserie, which I hate.

That is absolutely false. I've been doing head-to-head for a decade on yahoo.

But is the scoring done by category, or by total points for the week?

A win/loss/tie for each category like all head-to-head leagues.

Total points?

Maybe it's ESPN that does head-to-head total points? Like 4 points for a HR, etc?

That's what cbssports does. They just total up the points throughout the week and whoever has the most points gets the win (singular). None of this winning categories nonsense. That, good sir, is why I turn my nose up at yahoo. And if you were smart you'd do exactly the same.

One spot left. Yes, only one. For those of you who are tired of the unspeakable horrors of yahoo's category approach to assigning wins, this is for you. A spot at cbssports.com will make you experience fantasy baseball at its finest.
