Why? Why not?

Ok, inspired by the actions of Nathan Bransford over at Nathan Bransford-Literary Agent, (hey, I can dream about needing a literary agent, right?), I've created a fantasy baseball group on ESPN.com. It's for the simpler version of Fantasy Baseball, called Baseball Challenge. Everything is free, and all you have to try and do is, once a week, pick 1 player for each position and one team's pitching staff. Or you can pick 'em now, and see how they hold up all year. Anyway, look for and join the group 'Doug's Blog Readers.' The password is the appropriate term for someone new at a job, especially used in sports. It rhymes with the race of alien that Chewbacca is in Star Wars. It starts with the same 4 letters as the castle piece in Chess, or that card game with the bird. If that's not enough, comment and ask.

Anyway, create an entry, and at the half-way point in the season, I'll give the leader something. Probably a book. I'll work this week on creating a list you can choose from if you win.

And, no, I don't expect you to be really good at this. But every blog I read, almost, has been doing some form of give-away, and I thought this would be fun. Plus it'll be interesting to see if our attention spans hold up through baseball season!
