Suddenly, with some of these people on your team you have a reason to pay attention to the sport, and you don't have to watch any of the games. Of course it helps to know who the players are, but after the draft it's almost like a strategy game. Player X didn't get a hit all week, and it cost me points. Therefore I'll use Player Y instead this week, because he's actually hitting the ball. Pitcher A gave up 60 runs this week, so I'll put in Pitcher B because he didn't give up any. I think sometimes it's all about creating your own excitement, for example, Halo became more interesting after it was turned into a drinking game....
