YIKES!!!! Shifting Sands Draft Thread

[MEAT]

just for clarification, since ill be offline for quite some time...til atleast 6pst...but we seem to have stalled. my outfield/infield AND starting pitchers, and relief pitchers AND catchers ALL have to be from a different decade? in otherwords, excluding negro leaguers and jewish and .50 centers, those five sections of your team must all be represented by a different decade. if correct, the proxy i left wouldh't have worked anyway since its a starting pitcher from duke snider's decade of the 50's. I thought it was just outfield and infield, but the recent post seems to indicate if/of/c/sp/rp all from seperate decades.

You are correct; you can't have a pitcher from the 50's. The only exception to how you explained it, which was foggy's change to my rule, is that if you plan on using a pitcher as both a starter and reliever you need to have all of your pitchers from the same decade.

Still can't enter proxies on the site, I need to go to bed now. Big, can you pick for me?

[Munich_Man]

Or I can leave the proxy with sipcki, we can continue drafting, you can skip my pick on the site, and I can fix it in the morning...

[spicki17]

im heading out in half hour for the night, but if you publicly post your top 2 picks you are fine, since foggy has to pick an NL'er.
