Are we going to have a clock for this draft? I'd rather not get into a Barnstormers problem like we're currently having over there.

Regarding the a clock for this draft. I would prefer not to do that. I hear you concerning the just completed Barnstormer's draft from hell. I sure do want to avoid a situation like that. Far too many guys over there didn't show up to draft, use proxies, or get a friend to do their drafting for them. As a result that draft was held hostage and took over two weeks to complete. At any rate it took so long that I can't even remember who I drafted there. And, now Penn's site is down again. :shock: :? :roll:

FYI: I have a proxy from McBain and proxies from bullmcintosh. I know we're hung up at Bob's pick in round 1. He's usually pretty punctual so I am sure he will be around. I hope no emergencies have arisen in his life. If anyone has a way to contact him feel free to do do so.

Bobby and I wish to announce a trade.

Charlie Gehringer will be heading to Toledo Blue Stockings in exchange for Alan Trammell.

I left a message for Joe with a possible trade for my second round pick. I am awaiting Joe's reply. CoachP

Wow! That's a pretty big trade, Coach. :shock:

[doc x]

I'm out until late this evening. I'll check back in at about midnite eastern.

wow, tough to think this draft is going to move quickly when there is a day delay between picks.

[joeoc]

My apologies for causing a late start with the draftingdue to my trip..........the vacation season is upon us.........so delays are inevitable............ JW has always been timely with his picks ........... so there must be a reason for such a long delay.

Does anyone have a contact point, cell phone, home phone????

Has anyone contacted JW to let him know the draft started and he's up for a pick???

[dspeters5]

Joe, you don't have to apologize you are the man who keeps us moving all the time. Check your pt's, I sent an offer to you brother. Hope you had a nice trip. I did leave rob a note in the old armchair league. I don't have a cell for Rob. eight days left till you know what.

I left Bob a message in old league mail regarding the draft. I also checked old messages from him to see if he said anything about being gone. There was no mention of it.

Anyway, Bob is usually reliable. I can only imagine that something unusual has come up (computer crash, family emergency, etc.) that would explain his going missing.

Let's see what tomorrow brings. Thanks for your patience.
