At one time or another, we've all ventured onto YAHOO, or ESPN, or another outlet and played fantasy baseball (or football, etc).
Not only would it be nice to see WIS create their own version of fantasy sports, but imagine this.....
incorporate it into WIS.  Huh???

What is the first thing you do with fantasy sports?  You pick a date and time to draft.  On that date...at that time...you show up, click
a button, and the draft window pops up.  Listed is every player you can draft. You can (in most cases) even break it down into
categories, like 1B, 2B, RP and so on.

Well, "what if" WIS wrote it's own version of a live draft and merged it into SIM League sports?
Not only could you host your own version of Fantasy sports (every season), but it would expand SIM (theme) Leagues as well.
Many owners like the live draft.  Problem is, they go some where else to do it, or sit and wait for ever while users "post" picks.
I believe you would see an influx of live drafts for Theme leagues across the board...And, it would speed up the process.
I think it would take your site to a whole new level.
Get it right, and..... with a little advertising, all those folks rushing to get a good draft time and date at Yahoo, ESPN or else where,
will be rushing to WIS to play fantasy Baseball, Football, etc. 
"HEY MAN! Check what else they have.  SIM Baseball. COOL!"

This is a very good idea and one we have on our wish list. It goes hand-in-hand with the fantasy football & baseball draft apps we built for FOX Sports.

I SUGGESTED THIS IN 2001-2002, AND TAREK AND HIS FLUNKIES SLOUGHED ME OFF!

TOO BUSY PLANNING A WRIGLEY OUTING

I've suggesting something like this for a long time too. They could run this almost like a sim version of a video game franchise/ dynasty.
