In a 100 million league I am surprised he lasted that long Jet :wink:

going to be out for several hours and probably wont be back until 10 or 11 ET.Cant set proxies since we are still a ways away from my 2 picks.I was hoping we would have gotten a few more in so I would have had a better idea of who I would be going with

Even though JG said "ready to roll" on Monday, his last post was 18 Oct 2005 12:41

Guess he's been off line today. Still since he posted yesterday, he *should* have known we started yesterday...

Oh well, I guess we don't have a clock so patience is in order.

given the extra cap room, i was ecstatic to get bonds in the 4th slot. To me, in a hundred mil league, he is a mandatory first pick. but what do i know?...

I have started a new job installing point of sales computers and doing some networking. I will primarily be working from about 7p til 2 am eastern time.
It should not affect my ability to draft promptly I just wanted to let you guys know.

Thanks Smokee,

How do you like your new job?

I had a nice post all written out, and of course this forum, which I continually have aggravating problems with, lost my post. *sighs*

Anyways to summarize

1 - Would have taken Santana at 2, and Bonds at 3.

2 - Johnson available to be acquired, but price probably too high for most owners, since you know what I spent 2 drafts in a row to get #1.

3 - Most of picks will be made using proxies, so please be patient if my proxies run out, as I will try asap to replenish them when possible.

4 - Are we targetting Halloween or Nov 8th as a start date? Both have pros & cons, but I have no personal preference.

5 - Glad to be back in NLD 12, just hope all is well with Semper Gumby, and he is just too busy/preoccupied.

Will check back tomorrow morning on progress of draft, since I don't pick until mid 3rd Round. :shock: :shock: ;)

I'm monitoring the draft site so I'll make my pick shortly after JG in all likelihood. You'd think by now I would know who I wanted but I'm still contemplating.

Congrats on the job Smokee.
