No worries. If I came off snarky, I didn't mean to.

Ooops! When I created the league, I automatically chose frenzy instead of waivers, since I figured we could choose players only from our groupings and not have to wait through waivers. But the frenzy rules have changed, and the draft will NOT occur until a time has been set for the frenzy to start! You can pick any hour (on the hour) of any day for this to happen, but until that's done there won't be a draft.

This may make a difference for sschu and Aerodave, who have the post 1993 players and probably will have to poach from the previous chronological groupings to fill out their teams. This will not matter if they are limited to choosing only players from their respective leagues, which I think is intended.

At any rate, the last West player to join the league should click on the "set the time of your frenzy" line, and choose the next available hour so we can get started.

I'm not sure this is a great idea. How will everyone know when the frenzy is if the last person picks it just before loading their team?

Since I am in the West if you want I can enter as the last team and Can wait till like say 8 PM to fill that last spot as the final team,that way everyone could be aware of the time.

So I am back and will be able to enter my team this evening.

Looking at the available players for the post 94 NL, there are no pitchers under $3.9M and only one player under $1M. This makes filling the draft card a bit of a puzzle.

Is it OK to draft under $1M guys or is it required to wait for the draft and frenzy to clear?

As your 1994-present counterpart, I also struggle with the similar dilemma. I decided to draft the guys I wanted, and then drafted $.50m fillers, selecting guys that no one else probably wants and putting them at the bottom of the draft card. I figured this strategy would cause the fewest problems. Either way, I will be dropping most, if not all of them as soon as the frenzy starts.

I don't think the time of the frenzy makes much difference in a league like this where you can only draft players in your league (American or National) who are carded in the years you have. The few players with cards in different leagues/eras (like Ruth) no doubt will have their futures sealed by the auto draft.

You can draft who you want of the sub 1 M guys on the initial draft card but just be prepared to return them to their rightful owners if requested to do so.
