Still waiting for one more team to load...
[b:fc4601cef9]Another [/b:fc4601cef9]day of waiting... :?
Bummer. :roll:
Event 5, League 7 (AL only)

It appears that [b:6562191ce3]JServi[/b:6562191ce3] fell off the radar.
I want to join the chorus of complaints, in fact I was gonna start a line of "I'd rather be ____________, than spend one more day with this draft."
However, my team isn't that all exciting, and I'm patiently succumbing to the garage full of carbon monoxide like sleep effect of the draft/load, while waiting for the inevitable. I'm curious to see how [b:6562191ce3]Bbrool[/b:6562191ce3]'s team does, since on no less than six occasions he grabbed the number one proxy on my card, and often triggered a run against the not so deep positions. Picking 11th was tough, even though the player pool was fairly deep in the beginning. I have a little bit of balance, but it depends a lot on the love from HAL factor.
Hopefully [b:6562191ce3]JServi[/b:6562191ce3] will resurface and we can load by Friday night.
This was my very first "one league only" draft, and I learned a lot (unfortunately in hindsight, though). I wish more people were interested in leagues like this, or 24 team leagues, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
What does any/everyone else think so far?

Where is Jservi?

Hard to believe we are still waiting on someone at this point. Dose anyone play in a league with him. Maybe we can reach him that way.
As for me this is also my first time in a league using only one league & it is very interesting. It will be interesting to see if the stats for our players are more in line with last years real stats then they tend to be in a 12 team league.

Well he hasn't posted to these boards in just about a week now, it would be nice for him to check in.
I wasn't really prepared for this AL only draft. I have been in numerous live draft restricted player pools over the years, but didn't pay attention to this one out of the gate, otherwise I would have gone with a bigger offensive player with my #1 pick over Randy Johnson. I also would have grabbed a big hitting 1B earlier, but kept thinking T. Clark, C. Delgado, were in the AL (you can tell I am a few years behind on current MLB transactions).
The key to these drafts is to ignore "bargain" players and draft purely on overall ability, since it is very hard to spend the full $80 million on a 24 man roster that you drafted. I made several bad picks in this regard. However, I am strong on the infield, where there was a real shortage of talent and I can platoon OF'ers much easier so we shall see.
Would like to get this thing rolling,
Bbrool

Where in the world is JServi?

This is my first one league team as well, and I found it very interesting (in spite of the time it took). I also found myself questioning many of my decisions, especially when a guy I wanted was taken right after one of my questionable decisions. Which reminds me - Caraballo, have you checked your private posts? I hope guys will be willing to consider trades. My strategy was to draft the best available at certain positions, but they don't necessarily fit the park I drafted. Hopefully, Servi will remember us and get this going.

7smitty7, what do you mean by private posts? As you can see i have not checked it, where is it found? Obviously this is my first one league team and i found it interesting, though i am not too happy with my selections. I have some pitching and got Mariano to close games, but my offense is mediocre and my defense isn't that great either. Anyway, it should be interesting to see how this works out.
