Deadball League

[nels52]

By "frenzy", in this case we're talking about setting up the divisions first come-first served, [b:ab70915bc4]is that correct?[/b:ab70915bc4] I have no problem with that, and I'm fine with stopping after 25 rounds.

By frenzy would mean that as soon as the draft runs (the night that the last person enters the league) at about 12:10 AM - [b:f4429411e9]the unclaimed players become available IMMEDIATELY on the waiver wire[/b:f4429411e9], instead of the 2 1/2 day weighted waiver system.

Has nothing to do with the divisions. Has to do with when the free agent pool becomes available to ALL.

I can not stop at 25. I picked three SP/RP pitchers that I can not put in draft card because I would not have enough RP only pitchers. It screwed up my draft a bit - I would have taken other players - but the benefit is that I have the rights to them in the WW. That is, I need picks 26-28 to pick RP pitchers for my draft and then I am going to add the three SP/RP pitchers during waivers.

Then we have to keep drafting through 28.

Might I suggest then, that to speed things up *everybody* set proxies?????!!!!!!

[mighty moose]

If a "majority" don't want to go past 25, let him work out his issues any way he can. He can always pick players for his scrubs or the remainder of his relief pitchers by just attempting a "proxy pick" on the site, and if the player is available, he can put them on his draft card to make his team, "TSN draft legal"

Hell, there are so few pure RP pitchers left, we could almost post the entire list of them here.

If he forgot to pick RP's, that his issue, not ours. But as long as the ones we (or I) drafted don't wind up on his team, I don't care at all if he drafts them as part of his 25. I for sure wouldn't want any of the stink that is left.

Problem is, CMinton obviously made his selections under the assumption we would draft 28.

I see as a solution that CMinton drop three of his S/R pitchers and replace with three Rs. Then he can take his three S/R pitchers back when the league is formed.

The question is, do the rest of us agree or not agree to allow him the rights to the three pitchers he has to drop?

If forced to go to 28 we go to 28, but it does appear that the majority of us would like to stop the draft now.

[mighty moose]

So far, 4 of us are fine with stopping at 25. That's 4 to 1. You can wait for more votes if you want but . . . . .

I don't mind if he drops the SP's and repicks RP's, I've got mine set and I don't think I would be interested in any of them anyway. If someone is interested in one of his dropped SP (as long as it doesn't get WAY out of hand) then I would approve THEIR drop to pick him up.

Most of your core team is picked at 20 and earlier anyway.

Now when we get to the frenzy, here would be the time to adjust for the real world.

Remember, patience. We only have 3 rounds left and should be done by Wednesday. I vote to finish the draft as we have the time to do it.

[mighty moose]

Keep in mind that miduar is going out of town on the 8th for a week. 3 more rounds here could be like watching paint dry.

[gorshar]

If everyone sets proxies this can go very quickly. It would be especially nice if Nels52 would set them.
