Where to Play Fantasy

Where to play?
With sites all over the internet offering Fantasy Sports, how do you know which one is for you? Four of the top sites for Fantasy Baseball are Espn.com, cbssports.com, mlb.com, and yahoo.com, the latter of the four being my personal favorite. Now lets look at which of these sites offer the most:
ESPN – Free to play, free live scoring. They offer a standard league, which is a 10 team, 5 by 5 category league, a Prize-Eligible league, and custom scoring leagues.
CBSSports – CBSSports offers a few different choices when it comes to signing up. There is the free game, as well as 4 other versions. The Gold version costs $29.95 per team, with a $150 league champion prize. The Platinum version costs $99.95 per team, with a $600 league champion prize. The Diamond version costs $249.95 per team, with a $1,600 league championship prize. Lastly, the Double Diamond version costs $499.95 per team, with a $3,500 league champion prize. There is also a baseball commissioner league, much like the other sites, this is the league to join if you wish to create a league with a group of friends. The downside to this league, is that it costs $160.
MLB- MLB offers a different type of fantasy baseball. The league itself is free, and you draft 10 players. It is much more simple than other sites, and is also free. You can join a public or private league, and choose a live or auto draft.
Yahoo – As previously mentioned, this is my league of choice, as I have been playing on Yahoo for about 12 years now. I feel Yahoo’s website itself is the most simple of any other fantasy site. They offer a free game, as well as a Fantasy Plus league, which is what our group has decided to go with this year. The plus league costs $24.99 per team, or $124.99 per league. The Plus league includes live scoring (which is free at ESPN this year), a draft kit, and scouting report (all 3 a $35 value in itself) This league also includes a prize to the winner; a t-shirt or bobblehead. One of the advantages of the plus league is the ability to split the league up into divisions, which is something I am not sure any other site offers. I feel this is a pretty cool way to start rivalries from year to year, for those of you who play with the same group each year.
All in all, each site has its share of advantages, from MLB.com being simple, to ESPN offering free prize leagues, to Yahoo being arguably the most popular year after year. Feel free to comment and add any other sites you feel compete with these.
You're a MLB Pro..Thanks For Coming Back!
