I wasnt sure how it was going to work and I almost held off making my pick but I was worried that I might be holding everyone up if I waited for Siberian to confirm. Oh well, guess its another league without ARod. I'll just have to pick up the scraps. LOL

Can you draft a sub $5M guy in the live portion and then add your single +$5M guy during the autodraft? You still end up with the same roster composition, especially since you can drop/add that single +$5M guy during waivers/ season anyway.

Guys,

I will be at work without computer access between 1pm and midnite today so go ahead and skip me if it comes to that. I will make my pick when I get home tonight.

In my opinion, naming a <5M player would be an unfair advantage for the autodraft.
I think the intent is to draft a >5M (you can change it later if you wish), and block that player from the drafters behind you.

I set up the league with the intent of drafting your $5M+ player in the live portion. You are allowed to change that player out at any time but you cannot draft someone under $5M during the live portion.

This brings up 2 items:
1. Do we get to see the original draft under transactions? I cannot remember. If not, then I suggest we place our "superstar" last on our list. This will avoid anyone accidentally placing someone above their superstar on their autodraft.

2. I stated you are only allowed one player above $5M. What do people think about exactly $5M? Should these players be included? [b:0646b1e445]***WE WILL INCLUDE THE 2 PLAYERS LISTED EXACTLY AT 5 MILLION IN THE AUTODRAFT.***[/b:0646b1e445]

I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I'd lean to not including any players =5.00M
