I was over on r/redsox and saw that they were putting together Red Sox fantasy leagues. Obviously these are just regular fantasy leagues filled with Red Sox fans, but a fun idea popped into my mind. How awesome would it be to have a fantasy baseball league where the player universe is made up entirely of the Boston Red Sox organization?
Lowell, GCL, DSL 1, and DSL 2 wouldn't be included since their seasons start too far into the season. Therefore you have Boston, Pawtucket, Portland, Salem, and Greenville. 125 eligible players.

17 players per team. 6 teams. Boy would I enjoy that.
Obviously constructing a fantasy league with player stats automatically updating would be extremely difficult (certainly not something I could do). But if you've watched this 30 for 30, or are much older than me, you'd know that the first fantasy leagues were run manually w/ participating members updating their own teams stats each week.
If there are 6 members of this board invested in this idea (and with enough time), we could make this happen for the 2015 season. I know that I am. Rotisserie or Head-to-head plus other tweaks can be agreed on. We start a separate thread in the Off-Topic Forum, complete a 17 round draft one night, and update the thread weekly with statistics.
Anyone interested?
ADD: To eliminate the problem of players being called up to one of these 5 teams, we could draft a ____ man bench made up of only players in Lowell, GCL, DSL 1, & DSL 2.
