The 2013 season is not going to be a pretty one for the Miami Marlins, so we Fish Stripers may need all the help we can get to get through the season. One of the ways you can easily distract yourself from your team having a poor campaign is to draft your own fantasy team and dominate your friends in that realm! As a former fantasy baseball writer for Baseball Prospectus and as a Marlins who has been through many rebuilding seasons, I can appreciate that angle.

This is partly the reason why, in 2013, I will be bringing you the first annual (or re-annual, given that we skipped it last season) Fish Stripes Fantasy Baseball League, brought to you by the good folks at Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball! The Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball system is among my favorites, in part because of the flexibility that it provides its users in terms of scoring and other league options. To that end, we may very well be doing something a little more "sabermetrically-inclined" for the Fish Stripes league this season, just to spice things up!
