I'm back, and glad to see the draft is off and running.

I just excluded Ted Williams from the draft on the somdraft site as he was picked first by ggrover.

Everyone needs to remember to manage their money. We are an $80 million cap league, no DH. $35 mil has already been spent on keepers, leaving around $45 mil to spend on the live draft and filling out your 25 man roster via autodraft.

Minnie Minoso's new stadium pick is approved.

I have already set up the second draft (serpentine). Once the first draft is done and I have excluded from draft two all the players taken, we can get this whole thing finished up.

Don't forget that we will be on a 3 hour clock, from 10 AM eastern to midnight eastern, for the rest of the draft. Clock will be off from midnight to 10 AM, obviously.

I learned something about the somdraft site. When I picked Dizzy Dean in (what I thought was) round 2, the site automatically put him in my round 1 slot. So the site reflected the fact that I was up for a pick in round 2 now.

To remedy this I put Andres in as the first choice. I had hoped to pull Ted Williams off the excluded list and stick him there since that is who ggrover selected with the #1 pick I traded to him. The site would not allow this. So I put Andres in that slot since I doubt anyone intends to draft him in round 1 or 2.

Anyway, ggrover is up for a round 2 pick. Please remember we are a 3 hour draft clock.

Draft 1 is done! Thanks everybody.

Draft 2 is ready to go. I will get my pick made shortly.

Made my pick in draft #2. ggrover is now up for a pick.

Remember, we're on a 3 hour draft clock.

Bullmcintosh, please check your PMs ASAP!

I see the clock expired on Charlie so Bull made two picks at the turn. Charlie is back on the clock for his next pick and can make up the skipped pick at his earliest convenience.

Dr X trades his round 3 and round 4 picks to Chemosh for his round 3 and round 4 picks.

With the first pick in Round 3, Chemosh picks Gary Carter.
