Event 5, League 5 (NL only) - DRAFT HAS BEGUN

[pacoboy]

Woods and I have been trying to work via his BLACK BERRY but now something again happened.

I've been in meetings all day and was skipped myself but Woods is getting beyond the point of no return.

He's asked that you cease and dissist from further picks till after midnight tonight when he gets off the plane from SF.

.....or else he will be forced to withdraw from this league......per Woods.

Teepack sir, please pause the draft a few hours.

Thanks

AP

Draft has been paused.

hi. I am back.

I apologize fore the screw up. I was in SF for a conference on Real Estate and the Internet and my laptop died. I did not knoe the draft had started until AP emailed me on my blackberry.

It is no problem that I got skipped. I can make my pick and proxies now.

However, I am a tired wreck, having just landed from SF, and I inadvertently picked Vasquez while researching my pick. If two managers could go to the draft site and ok the drop, I will make my selection.

Thanks, and good luck to everyone.

ps - my pick is lance berkman

Go ahead and make your berkman pick if you are still around.

We are moving again. I am going to change the clock to 24 hours for the weekend, just to make sure nobody gets skipped. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep checking in, leaving proxies and making picks.

I am going to be unavailable beginning next Friday as I am going out of town to a conference. So I would like to get this thing wrapped up as soon as we can. If we want to try to start play next week, I will have a hard time participating in the waivers over the weekend. If we could get our league filled by Tuesday midnight, that'd be great, but that could be wishful thinking.

Everybody should have created their team already and be adding their players to your roster as you draft so that you can be ready to finish up and get entered into the league as soon as the draft ends.

i will trade Duke LHP to any player who drafts and offers me Harang.

odieworks, pls check your private message.

Hey guys,

I mistakenly excluded Matt Murton of the Chicago Cubs. If you want to draft him, just announce it on the boards and take an AL player in his place, since there appears to be no way to unexclude him. You'll have to keep an eye on your roster $ because the draft site won't be accurate, but you should have already created your team by now and be adding players to your roster as you draft them. Sorry about that.

I have excluded AL players above $1 million now, but I am not going to do the rest. Just too many names to go through.

And if you notice that I have mistakenly excluded an NL player, please let me know immediately. Please be sure that all the players you select are NL eligible.

Woods, As much as I like Duke, I need to hang on to Harang for now. He and Myers are the tiny cornerstone of my SP's.
