First, thanks to everone for your participation.

RunninReb, kudos to you for monitoring the lotto results.

Seanreflex, I'm showing the same divisional lineup that you posted based on last nights pick 3 lottery results. Runnin, I added a twist to the divisional setup including the "last shall be first" concept. As Sean noted, following are your division foes for the next 8 or so weeks.

You can skip the following which is just a restatement of the original rules posting if you'd like and jump to the divisional setup. (Names were ranked in descending order of lottery results. Slots 1, 4, 7 and 10 made up the East. Slots 2, 5, 8, and 11 comprise the Central and 3, 6, 9, and 12 will form the West. For stadium drafting purposes, the draft order is lowest to highest within each divsion.)

I'm posting this information in the stadium draft order.

Please refer back to the initial post for a list of stadiums eligible for each division. We are basically using the current MLB structure adjusted for teams that weren't around in the 80s. (For example, Cinci is available to the Central division instead of the West as they were in the 80s.)

EAST:

Seanreflex will be playing in: Fenway Park
GMAC94 will be playing in: Yankee Stadium
Rigged Splits will be playing in:
TooBig will be playing in:

Billings Ballers has set up home at: County Stadium-Milwaukee

YellowDog has set up home at:
JJB921 has set up home at:

WEST

Sean, Billings and Roofing, you can begin the selection process at your convenience. This is sort of like the first round of the NCAA tournament-three events going on at once.

Other Administrivia:

Since no roster moves can be made after game 142, we will NOT follow the proposal regarding roster expansion around game 139. I don't want to alter the 25 man roster going into the playoffs. I'd hate to have a game decided when HAL pinch hit one of the 3 extra players in a crucial situation.

Draft update:

I've heard from 8-the Live Draft camp is running away with it-7-1. The only auto draft vote came from JJB and I'm pretty sure he can be made to see the light .

TooBig mentioned he was going to be away for a few days so I haven't heard from him. TooBig, Gmac and Billings Ballers and YountFan-do you have any objections to a live draft? If not, we can start that process.

From a full disclosure standpoint, I leave for vacation tomorrow but am brining the PC. I'll be able to check in during the early morning and late evening hours. I'll be back in the bunker mid-next week with normal access.

From reading the boards, I know Penngray has a drafting site/tool. However, since I'm new compared to most of you, I'm not sure if there is a protocol for asking Penn for access to his site. I'd appreciate any guidance.

Also, will we have to decide the number of players we will draft? I'd imagine a 25 man draft will take quite a while to complete. Is ther an option to draft a smaller number (maybe 15??) and then autodraft the rest?

Back to work.....the employer won't be getting as much productivity today

Question: when we do a live draft (which I am in favor of since my vote against wouldn't count anyway!), how do our picks get loaded to the SN site? Do we simply trust each other to only list our picks or does some magic occur where we feed the info to SN and Bernie creates our league? Stupid question, I assume but ....

It is a trust thing, you still have to enter your team as drafted into the TSN site.

Also, it is not uncommon to onlydraft some even number of rounds, and then fill out the rest with Auto draft selections.

It is fun, you will like it.
