Back on point...
There is a difference between "pay to play" and "pay to win" leagues. Anytime a financial prize is offered it complicates things. I think that this can be overcome with rules as stated in the above posts. However, I would be willing just to pay to play in a competitive league with other baseball minds. Paying a fee upfront would discourage some GMs (not all as the movie reference applies), but the rules package of can correct this to an extent.
Having leaguewide votes if a trade is questioned, just like they have in fantasy football seems to work well, as the judgment of a small group of commishes can be biased. I am surprised leagues don't have this.
The online experience fell far short of my expectations, as it is harder to trick the AI than real people (which is not a statement of how far AI has come...)
I do think there is a market for real good competition given this game's abilities, but the current online experience does not offer this.
