Jimmy C,
I agree with you. There are certain types of parks I like to play, and they are generally neutral to slight hitter parks.
I've never owned Dale Murphy before, and could have also gotten Mattingly, whom I've also never owned before, (21st team) but I made the assumption he would be gone in the first 10 picks. Then I would have gotten my SS with my third pick, ect. Being EST + 5 hours hurts when most managers are selecting while I'm in bed, so I can't adjust my strategy on the fly.
Anyways, enough whining on my part, good luck to all.
Jim

I can't access Penn's site from my POS work computer...I'll check at lunchtime. Hopefully I don't end up holding things up. Has the 2-hour timer started yet?

that makes me feel alot better. I was between Steib and Daniels. Thought Stieb was more likely to wheel. Nice to know neither would have.

YountFan is now officially overdue.

I would wait for YF. Must be an explanation (can't get to computer, etc.).

One thing I noticed is that you can run out of proxies also. :shock:

I had 8 slots in my proxies for the start of the day. I get off of work and lo and behold, all of my proxies were used up in the last few rounds! I even had don't delete selected. Everyone's snagging my picks. So stop it already! :P

My guess is that is probably what happened to YountFan or anyone that experiences serious delays. I won't have internet access at work for at least a week so I am totally reliant myself on the proxy picks until 6 PM EST.

You have done a great job IMO!!! You have picked so many damn players I want just before and just after me, that you are now officially label a WEASEL ;)

On another note, I see Sykes took his favorite park. Someone should tell him that would have been available in Round 14 ;) Sykes, you arent even successful there :D

Also, great first day on the clock too, thanks for keeping the draft going! :D

Eck being picked in the 10th round is a first for 80s live drafts, he has been a 6,7th round pick. I couldnt resist him at this point.
