Everyone should have known the how long they have to pick. If they couldn't keep up they shouldn't have signed up.

I'm in two other slow live drafts right now they both started Wendesday afternoon.

1. 12 team league- we're in the middle of round 5 with a total of 55 picks made.

2. 14 team league- Almost dane with the 6th round with a total of 81 picks made.


This has been going since Monday and we haven't gotten through the 2nd. Something need to be done.

Hey dudes, I almost held you guys because Im going to the ranger's game soon. Luckily I checked this thread before I was gonna go. I just had an live draft for a league with couple of my friends. anyway my second pick is gonna be Jeff Kent

Nova Monkeys - Jeff Kent

If Jdd makes his pick by tonight, Im afraid I cant follow up with a fast reply. So, You guys are gonna be held up until tomorrow no matter what. Sorry.

I agree with the whole 24 hour thing, that it is too long... but Im facing a perfect example of why it should remain 24 hours. When I goto the rangers game now, I prolly wont check Poly because i'll come back late from the city with my friend. So Wasting my 12 hours on sleep would suck. By keeping it at least 24 hours, I can have chance to make my pick even if Jdd makes his pick 5 min from mine.

With that being the case... why don't just PM Imran with three picks in order of preference... that way, your pick will be made no matter which two players jdd takes

Booting jdd from the league comes to mind as a possible solution.

It's Caesar I'm worried about. People know the draft is ongoing, yet they can't do us the courtesy of keeping track of the thread? C'mon people, send Imran a PM with your next 5 or 6 picks if you can't post in an orderly fashion, please...

Yep... I got Calc II's next pick preference (and his alternate if jdd picks his #1).

Just hope that jdd doesn't pick both of Calc II's picks .

NP... and a good move if you are going off line. Too bad he only sent you two picks, I had suggested three

I'll be back later tonight though, so if LoA makes his pick, I should be picking soon myself.

And I agree with berz, I too am dissapointed with Caesar. He made his first pick, so he knew the draft was going on.

No need to do anything at yahoo... you make your picks here. Imran will post all of our picks when the draft is over.

Well... neither of Calc's picks were selected by jdd...

So here is his pick...

Make that two.

I check in every six hours or so (even when my wife *discourages* me).

At the very least, if you know you are not going to be able to check in for a day or so, have the coutesy to PM Imran with your next picks.

I have a question.

Is this draft for the 2003 MLB season or 2004. At this rate I don't think we could make 2004

Do you guys understand that we have to average a pick every 2 hours to get this done by March 21-22? Let's just submit a list of 20 players and see how many we can get out of the way and then resume this rotation again. If that's a problem, we can at least submit 5 players at a time.

Btw, Imran, can you edit your first post and attach our names to the teams?

Oh, I have a question about the rules. I'm studying the players at mlb.com and I've noticed some of the players are listed at certain positions but the analysis says they are actually playing a different position but are still eligible at the position they are listed under. Are we going by the eligibility status at mlb.com or is there another site by which we are going?

Is there a link to the league rules?
