[quote:84b91344c7]what sense does it make to tell the person drafting before you who you intend on taking? did i read that correctly?[/quote:84b91344c7]
Toobig,
for example, say I have the 8th pick in the draft, and you have the 5th pick in the draft. You make your pick at #5 at 2PM. I've gotta leave at 2:30 and be gone for 4 hours to umpire a game. To keep from holding things up, I would send you a note saying, "Hey toobig, I'm gonna be out for a while. So I don't hold up the draft, here are my proxy picks, in order: Schmidt; Winfield; Clemens. Make my pick for me if it gets to my turn, so that we can keep things moving."
That way, if I walk out the door at 2:30, and at 2:40 #6 and #7 pick, the entire draft wouldn't stop because of me not being here. If #6 picked Clemens and #7 picked Schmidt, you could post a note saying, "Posting Sean's proxy pick at #8 as Dave Winfield." Or, if #6 and #7 picked Raines and Hershiser, you'd post my pick as Schmidt
Make any sense?
[quote:84b91344c7]Why would we do another pick 3 lottery? [/quote:84b91344c7]
We should do another pick 3 tonite to determine the draft order for the live draft. This has not been established through any other post I saw. The only order that was determined in the previous pick 3 lottery was for division placement and stadium selection order. Nothing was determined about player draft order.
Thanks,
Sean
