I tried to drop him (Pfiester) but it will not let me......I keep getting an error message.

I can't imagine why a proxy would fire out of answer.....I haven't seen that before.

We need to consider Pfiester still available. If we can't get him back into the pool, I guess we need to designate one of the player to take the place of Pfiester. Should we make Lefty Russell (7.67ERA, 1.99WHIP, 7Ks in 31 2/3IP) who will unlikely be drafted represent Pfiester?

By the way, I've turned my proxies off in case its an issue with my sign-in.

OK....now that my 21st round pick is up, it allowed me to drop to Pfiester, but he still appears under my picks and is NOT in the available pool.

It did give me a message "Updated for drop approval". So maybe this allows the administrator to finalize the drop?

All drops have to be approved by another player before the drop is successful.

I just approved somebodys drop, so it should be clear sailing now.

PM, you should be able to make a MANUAL PICK now to get your missing draft pick back.

MM :lol:

Plus, you are up for your 21st round pick.

[pkwmati]

Ok....now when I made my pick of Danforth in the 21st, it is recognizing that as my 20th round pick.

Pfiester is gone from my picks and IS available in the pool now. But Otto Miller is gone from my picks and is NOT available in the pool.

I am going to draft Red Dooin in the 21 round and allow Otto Miller to be available again in the interest of keeping the draft going. The difference in the two players is not significant enough for me to care very much at this point.

So: Pfiester and Otto Miller both are now available.

I have only 1 20th round pick and 1 21st round pick.

I don't know how this happened, but I'm moving on!

[mighty moose]

I just told you how it happened.

Drops have to be approved by another player. Once I approved the drops, Pfeister was available to appear on the draft list - AND you were able to manually pick BOTH of your picks.

There is no mystery here.

No, I mean how did it allow my proxies to fire twice in the same round? I did not try to drop anyone until that happened.

I going to gone all day so I will set a bunch of proxies again to keep us moving

I'll be out of town, with no access to the internet, from 8-14 July. Sorry if I hold up the draft...Mike

If you have proxys set, and you are up, it will fire. If all twelve people have proxies set, it just keeps going on and on until it hits someone where all their proxies have run out. I've seen 3 complete ROUNDS all go at one time because everyone had proxies set. I've seen a complete DRAFT take 2-3 days because everyone was staying on top of proxys.

If you meant something else, then I don't know. But I will say that the draft site has from time to time been known to freak out and do weird things. Not too often, but once in a while.

MM :D
