First of all, feel free to join the brand new Fantasy Sports Group here at Daily Kos. Please give us a follow! If you're interested in contributing, shoot me a message.
We already have 37 members back for Fantasy Baseball! Thanks to the returning members who've come back to play again! If you'd like to join the party, instructions will come after the jump.
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, or just slap it in a comment below (username at gmail - something like that form so you don't get spammed).
If you choose, you can make your email private on the site itself. Members will still be able to contact you about trades, etc. but they won't be able to see your address.
If you're a returning member that missed the invite that was sent, just let me know. We have a spot for you!
