Don't worry, dejesus9, I've never drafted past about 8:00 myself. I was leaning toward holding the draft Sunday late-morning/early-afternoon myself. I was thinking beginning at 10:00AM. It would likely last a little over an hour. Does anyone have any discretion with Sunday late morning? Other times are available.

I am totally pumped about Fantasy baseball. Like I have said before I like football but baseball is where it is at for me! Fantasy play just makes it all the better. Count me in for the Sunday deal but I could not do weeknights normally. I have to get up to early for work and Fridays never work due to prior commitments. Just let me know when it is all going down!

OK, I'm now leaning toward noon myself, because I know church is a common and necessary activity for many here.

Can we try around 3 or 4 Sunday?
My Church gets out around 12:30 and it takes 45 min to deliver eggs and get home.

My church gets out at noon. If it was at noon , I wouldn't make it for the beginning of the draft.  |

The draft would probably be sometime in mid-March, because I would like to give everyone plenty of time to register and some more time to late joiners. I realize some times may be inconvenient for some people, but honestly we have almost a month to decide on the date. Once again, the leagues open tomorrow!
Can anyone do a weeknight between about 6:00-8:00pm? Or how about a Saturday?

A weeknight would probably work for me, as long as it's not a Thursday. Friday would be best for me, but I understand that alot of people go out with their friends on Fridays. I could make it on a Saturday as long as it starts sometime after 1:00.

Right now I am off on a FMLA at work due to shoulder surgery but when I go back I will be working nights and probably most Saturdays. I am usually gone from the house from 1pm to about 12am everynight, so early Sunday afternoon would work best for me.

Looks like Sunday early-afternoon would work for many people. I'm considering March 25th from about 1:00-3:00PM. How does that sound for everyone here?
And, for your information, the Leagues begin tomorrow!

Guys, I have decided to create an ESPN Fantasy League because it gives us far more options for a Free League. The Yahoo! League doesn't open until tomorrow, and I've already gotten a chance to study what constitutes a Free League over at ESPN, and I've simply decided to go with that. It's far better. Hopefully, there should be no problems with that.

I have now created our Fantasy League over at ESPN.
I will be sending everyone an e-mail shortly, providing them with a link to the website. Obviously, everyone needs to become an ESPN Member to decide on their team.
Once again, the League will be a *Free*, *16-Team* league. I think we've informally decided on a draft date on a Sunday sometime in mid-March. Just for your information, I have not set the date yet. We will hopefully decide on that once everyone gets registered to the league.
