Fantasy Sports Magazine Draft: 12-team league

[Greg Ambrosius]

We held a 12-team, 23-round, 5x5 Rotisserie draft today for our upcoming Fantasy Sports High-Stakes Magazine. Wow, what a difference it is to draft in a 12-team format after doing the 15-team format last night. It didn't seem quite as tough to find offensive help in this format and pitching seemed to be abundant right up until the final rounds.
