Event 5, League 2 - AL Only live draft

[gstanis]

sorry guys. I thought it was 18 rounds. My bad. I'll Take safeco.

I tried to drop and add but it won't let me.

IMO Gstanis, you should drop Baker (not Young)... since he was your 16th round pick.

And TGMFP should drop Scutaro.

Responding not specifically to Keyzick but, to everyone in general.

It would be very unusual to have teams change divisions after a live draft. I've never seen it done. Most managers, including myself, in a live draft always keep in mind what their division mates are doing as a factor in making their picks. To change division mates after the draft is done would be a little unfair to those who drafted to combat a team that is no longer in their division.

We should wait for him to come back to load his team in the Central as determined before the draft. It may mean a one or two day delay in fully loading the league but, we won't start play until Monday night Sept 22 either way, so it wouldn't really help us. We would also still be loaded before the 19th when Sunderlake leaves.

I wasn't proposing switching division mates Springer... merely making the Central the East so that Edge could enter his team before he left. It's irrelevant anyway since I guess he gone anyway. So we'll just leave it as is.

[tgmfp]

I put in a drop for Scutaro and added Safeco Field

[keyzick]

By the way, I never realized how thin the AL talent was until this draft!

Sheesh, I thought I had an awful team (and I do), but then looked at everyone else's, and we all seem to be in the same boat of "major-drop-off-after-the-Top-5 picks".. :? :roll:

[Willie Randolph]

Sorry I'm old and forgetful, do we draft the ones we selected first or the ones we want?

I never saw your proposal Coffeeholic (still don't-must have been edited before I saw it). I saw a couple other statements that worried me a little. In hind sight, they were reacting to your proposal that I did not see. I would have no problem with your proposal though I realize it's a moot point now. Looks like we should be good to go early next week.

[gstanis]

No problem. Done
