ROTISSERIE: WONK league rules

The biggest news in fantasy baseball since the invention of FAAB—the BaseballHQ Writers ONly Keeper (WONK) League—was created to test, develop, and learn about roto strategies, particularly for keeper leagues. (Despite prevailing opinion, it was not created to help certain writers improve their trash-talking.) It started as a simple, one-page outline that provided all the information team owners would need to manage their teams. It was disseminated to all 15 owners.

Then the fun began.
