Could you refresh us on the number of total players we will be drafting and what our "active" rosters will consist of, especially when it comes to pitchers.

And also explain what happens if you miss your turn...
And how to submit players in advance in case you aren't going to be around.

It would be good to have that information in this thread.

Thank you

20 total players per team (I moved it down from 21 because we are having 12 players, and some waiver action would be cool) .

So, 20 rounds.

The active lineup is:

C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF (any outfield position), U (utility)

SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P (utility Pitcher)

Which means 4 backups.

You can submit a list of players to isid80@yahoo.com

If you miss a turn without submitting a list, then you get which ever available player is ranked the highest on the Yahoo rankings.

What if you are coming up but aren't going to be around for a day... can't you just post I'll take player A, player B or Player C depending on which one is left when it comes to my turn?

Sure, that's fine as well. Which ever you feel is best (I offered my email because perhaps some people don't want the person picking ahead of them to know who they would pick).

I have two first pick that are equal of value for me, so I think it doesnt matter if I announce it. If Jdd2007 gets one, It will save me sometime about deciding

Ya know, we're gonna have to seriously shorten the time frame in the later rounds, or we're going to still be picking in August.

Just a thought.

yeah maybe to 12 hours... especially if people submit lists

Well, if people are around we can get a round off in a short time.

Maybe 12 hours per pick after round 10?

Now, does anyone know where jdd went?

While 12 hours sounds better, is it really fair for somebody who has been waiting for their turn and finally gives up at 9 at night, and then doesn't get back on again until 9 in them morning

Our last slow draft started slow, and then picked up. There is still plenty of time before the season starts. NP

quote: Giants: Looks like Barry's elbow is fine by Fanball Staff - Fanball.com Monday, February 24, 2003 News The San Jose Mercury News reports Barry Bonds faced live pitching Saturday for the first time since having minor elbow surgery earlier in the week. He crushed the first pitch he saw for a home run that sailed over the right field fence and hit a passing car. Bonds underwent minor surgery on his left elbow Wednesday to remove a small ball of scar tissue from just under his skin. Views We think he's going to be ok.

Godbless ya barry. Too bad you wont be enough to keep the Giants afloat.

if we're gonna do 12 hour rule, that just might happen to me. Im calling it a night soon.

12 hours for jdd to make a pick.

BAD precedent for the first draft pick to not made by the poster.

Hell, if he doesn't make his pick by 1:00 PM tomorrow, and if you have anyone that wants to play, we could do a substitute (add your friend's team for jdd's).

Oh, btw, the #1 ranked player at Yahoo is Vlad Guerrero.

He probably really doesn't realize the draft has started yet. This will indeed speed up as everybody gets in gear and figures out we've started.

But I'm willing to bet that the computer will make his first pick. Nothing wrong with VG.. but he wouldn't be my first pick

Has anybody done Yahoo before. The rankings skew more toward hitters than pitchers, unlike Sandbox and CBS...

Yeah, give people a little warning. Once we all know the draft is on, we'll get our picks in (I hope).

12 hours is a little rough for me these days, I only have on-line time during the day right now, but I'll cope as best I can.
