Following are some basic instructions on how to play fantasy baseball.

1. Join a public league or create your own private league. There are many online leagues available for beginners to join for no charge. Some such sites allow you to create your league and will then assist you in managing all rules and keeping track of scores for a small fee.

2. Conduct research on teams and players before the season begins. By doing so, you will know which players are projected to be the best performers. This information is available in many resources like sports websites and magazines which contain in-depth information in various players and teams.

3. Draft your fantasy baseball team prior to season commencement. Every league operates according to its own specific guidelines and has its own particular set of rules. Choose players for each position in addition to back ups for any MLB team. You need to pick the best available players, although you will still have an opportunity to do pickups and trades.

4. Pick your starting lineup each week based on the team in your league that you will be going up against. Take into account who the real-life opponents will be that your players must face, so that you will know which players should start. Most leagues have deadlines by which this must be completed.



5. You will score points based on your league's predetermined scoring system. Every week, you will play against one other member of your league. The player who scores the most points is the game's winner. When the league season ends, the league with the highest point total wins.

Now that the current season is already at its halfway point, it is time to really start focusing on getting the results that you are looking for. That means that you must make decisions with the players currently have, and then also make sure that you check out a few different options on the waiver wire. No one should be completely bored, because there are a lot of changes a person to make in order to better improve their roster. Stick with things, and you will more than likely find a lot of success that you didn't think was possible.
