OT: Fantasy Baseball League

[LHG]

Hello esteemed fans of the best baseball team on the planet (okay, I'll stop the exaggeration now), in a spur of the moment idea, I decided to create a rather large fantasy league, just to see if I can fill it up in less than a day. Its a 20 team league (but am willing to start with at least 14 teams). I thought I'd invite anyone on here who likes to participate in fantasy baseball. Its free, which means there is nothing but bragging rights to claim at the end of the season. I've put the invitation link and setting below, in case any of you are interested. If less than 14 (or maybe 12) sign up by tomorrow morning (i can delay the draft), I'll just delete the league.

I promised myself years ago that I would never do fantasy baseball. If I did, I would forget to eat or sleep, and would probably miss a few days of work.

I only kinda like football, and the few years I did fantasy football I got WAY too into it.

I took last year off from fantasy baseball and was hesitant to get back in but decided to give it one more try. I think I made this league size so big, subconsciously, so to make it easy for it to not work.
