you don't get everyone you draft. That's why you have to rank them, hopefully higher than other people ranked theirs.

During waivers you can pick up better players than you drafted. You can also trade with other owners. And maybe read the rules a little.

Check out the game rules in the Help section. From the rules -

[quote:647e376840]In a Salary Cap Auto Draft, you take as long as you want filling out your Draft Card with the best players that fit under your salary cap. Then, once your league fills up with a total of 12 teams, our Auto-Draft system sorts out all the Draft Cards and automatically places players on everyone's rosters. It's a more relaxed process than the Live Draft, but you have less control over the players you end up with because other managers in your league may be vying for the same players you wanted.

After you've started your team and before you join a league, you'll specify which 25 players you want on your team, and which ballpark you'd like to call home. Each available player has a salary, and you're given $80 million to spend on your 25 players. Keep in mind whether you intend to play in a DH or non-DH league, and make your player choices accordingly.

Please note that since other managers in your league may choose some of the same players you choose, you will likely lose out on some of the players you select when the Auto-Draft is run. In that case, the system will attempt to find a suitable replacement for players it couldn't give to you. [/quote:647e376840]

There is more detail and examples in the help section.

I do the same stuff. I think it's called learning the hard way. It sucks. All you need to do now is slow down a little and ask some questions. There's a lot of folks here that are very helpful.

Wait a minute.....You mean that we can't just use all the players we want without regard to the 11 other owners in the league?

THAT IS STUPID. :lol:
