Last call for baseball!
We already have 43 members, newbies & vets, for Fantasy Baseball! How about that? If you'd like to join in the fun, now's the time to get on the train!
This year, I do need an email address to send you an invitation. The old ID/password system that Yahoo used is no longer in service. However, since Yahoo is such a good platform, we've decided to stay there. Feel free to message me privately on DK Messages with your email address. Just click 'Send Message' next to my username & the follow button right under the Daily Kos banner!"
If you choose, you can make your email private on the Yahoo site itself. Members will still be able to contact you about trades, etc. but they won't be able to see your address.
Head on below for details on draft dates & game play. Take the poll and stick around to talk MLB in the comments, as this is a baseball open thread.
Draft Dates & Times:
I: Sat. March 8, 2 p.m. Eastern FULL - Thanks!

UPDATE: We're on even numbers now but if you want in, don't be shy. It's not hard to make room, you know?
All drafts are live with the option to auto-draft from a prepared list if you can't make it. Yahoo does that that really easy. Drafts take anywhere from 40-75 minutes.
