I've always thought that fantasy baseball was a natural progression to OOTP. In some regards, I liken OOTP to fantasy baseball, except that you don't have to wait around for the players to play the game. But I agree with the sentiment that the audiences are not necessarily the same. I've floated the idea around my recurring roto league, but nobody seemed to be that interested.

I guess to sum up my point: I use roto as a mechanism to watch more real baseball and make watching more exciting (and make fun of my friends), but I use OOTP to play computer games. The audience may not indeed be that similar.

Maybe OOTP needs to banner on gaming sites more than baseball sites.

BTW: kudos to Steve on the good baseball fan spectrum analogy
