I have another 16-team dynasty-like points league (run on Yahoo) that's looking for a few new GMs. The league is free and has been going for ~6 years now -- 2010 is the 7th season.
Rules are mostly simpler than typical dynasties, and we do not use actual salaries, but just defer to the players' real life FA status to determine keepability, ie. you can keep a player as long as he has not officially become FA in real life.
Notable veteran FAs in the draft pool this year include Matt Holliday, Jason Bay, Vlad Guerrero, John Lackey, Jose Valverde, et al. -- you can find a fairly complete listing in ESPN's Free Agent Tracker -- along w/ a bunch of top prospects who became listed on Yahoo for the first time (and thus not already owned), eg. Strasburg, Heyward, Smoak, Aroldis Chapman, Pedro Alvarez, Mike Stanton, Jesus Montero, et al. And the Draft Process is designed to heavily favor weak teams who have very few solid players worth keeping.
The points system is based on a pretty solid sabermetrics formula for offense, which simulates runs created, and is reasonably well balanced from the pitching side w/ something that roughly resembles runs prevented (w/ some bonuses/penalties for wins, losses, saves, holds, blown saves and such). The system is well balanced and has been in use from the very beginning w/ almost no need for adjustments. It looks complicated at first glance, but actually works out fairly simple and true-to-life and yields very tight races every year (w/ no repeat champs for the most part).
Have a look, and if interested, let me know asap.
