"I've done 20 years in the industry, and I would say that things have gone progressively down," Brandon Funston, who covers fantasy for Yahoo! Sports, says. "I don't see it as an ebb and flow, I see it as a drain; as we go into the season, I don't think there's a ton of optimism that baseball is going to make a comeback."
Funston estimates that, at least on Yahoo!, fantasy baseball trails football in total players by a margin of "5-to-1, maybe even 6-to-1," and while things might not be that grim on a macro scale, the big picture of fantasy baseball certainly isn't pretty, either. www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/why-wont-anybody-join-your-fantasy-baseball-league-20150325

I believe that money becomes a factor in the world of Fantasy sports as it does with the real games. Fantasy leagues with cash entries and cash prizes are much more prevalent in football than in baseball.

The league I'm in started 8 years ago and had 10 teams. We now have 13. I can't relate. When your 5th outfielder scores 10 pts in a week and you are jumping for joy, you know it's a tough league.
8 years ago I knew about 15% of the players in MLB. Now I know 85%. That makes me a better fan.
