Event 5, League 2 - AL Only live draft

[mamiller_53]

I was just able to catch up on the chatter. I live in Houston and I expect things to go south pretty quickly this pm. I will go ahead and set up my draft right now. Sorry I was not as on top of the draft but Ike (not the password) is dominating my life right now. Good luck to all.

PS...
I expect to lose electricity tonight and I have no bloody idea when I'll get it back. If it gets as hot here in a couple days, we'll have to leave town and find a good motel with internet. Its possible I won't be able to control my team if the league starts up on Monday. No problem - the AL was pretty weak last year and my team sucks. You know of course this is going to be the first league I've played where there'll be no waivers - it'll all be trades.

Good luck to you and your family

Thanks. Lots of wind, no rain yet and my cable just went out. Rather have the internet anyway.

Little confused, MAMILLER joined the league in the Central but he's in my division for the West - we didn't switch what our division alignment was did we? The Central would need to load before we can load the West, and Edgecity is in the Central and he indicated he'd be back Sunday I think.

...but there is waivers.

I have a problem. On the last page I posted that I could not add Safco because it would not let me. So I put it on this board. I have used the other remaining stadiums in the series. Help before I load in the west.

I'd say don't worry about adding it on the SOM draft site, just pick SAFECO as your stadium when you load (in place of your last pick - Baker).

There are still a couple issues to settle as we load -
1. the item quoted above - MAMILLER would need to drop to allow the other Central teams to load, then he would load into the West (or if that doesn't work - all of the Central teams would have to unload to allow the West teams to become the Central). Don't know how long MAMILLER will be out due to power in Houston. Thoughts?
2. TGMPF and Gstanis both indicated earlier in this thread they were after SAFECO stadium but I don't know if that is what they are going with (don't we need unique stadiums).

[gstanis]

If we don't need unique stadiums then why did we draft them? Just asking because if we don't need unique stadiums I shouldn't have to declare one.

I'm just a little confused.

I'm pretty sure the rules have us taking unique stadiums, plus as you noted that would be why we drafted them. I wanted to point out that both of you had noted Safeco in this thread so, unless that has changed already, something would have to give.....before loading, so you don't end up with the same stadium.
