Jen,
When its time to draft, do you have a list of the available players or do we need to figure that out on our own?

Also can we start trading now?

Yes you can make trades now. I'm waiting for offers :D

As for a list of autodraft eligible players, I have a partial list of notables below. I doubt anyone would want anybody not on this list for their picks so I didn't include everyone.

Also I've debated adding a third player to the autodraft. Not another star, but a good player that will help teams fill holes. I have a pool of 25 players drawn up to pick from. We would have to vote on this.

i think it would be good to have one more ok player. Should be reverse order i think for pick. Maybe have 16 - 24 people to pick from.

I like the idea.

also waiting for offers.

[franky35]

I am against the plan to draft a 3rd player. I wouldn't have drafted Belanger if I could pick Bowa or Metzger. I'll go along with whatever decision but it is not really fair to change that rule at this point.

If people like this idea this is the pool of guys I came up with. I included every position other than RP. None of these guys would be considered for our one hitter/one pitcher but all could help plug a hole.

I was looking at 3 bullpen staffs and had to flip a 3 sided coin.

Thanks for putting the extra list together, but I agree with Franky. I wouldn't have used my second pick on Lopes if I knew that Green and Flynn were able to be picked up, and I just grabbed Speier b/c I didn't want to miss out on SS. I think we should stick with the original rules, and have just 1 hitter/1 pitcher to autodraft.
