That's the way I read it also - I hope this correct!

Correct.

One last Q, that I think was answered, but I just want to be clear on it.

If I were to draft Tampon Bay, no players, but I could use the Trop as my home stadium (because I believe in handicapping myself for my good fortune of picking second, maybe).

Correct- the Trop is yours if you draft the rays. Unless, of course, I draft it first. ;)

Daniel is up.

If you check in and your turn is not up, please leave a proxy list with me if you can't check in frequently - hate to lose momentum on a short live draft.

I don't think I've ever been as impatient as I am with this draft! Quite the intrigue! Eager to see what I'll be getting.

I was pondering a similar league recently using the top 12 franchises all-time based on winning percentage and then matching them up with the rest based on the same; e.g. 12th rated team would match with 13th, etc. However there were some flaws in it and I didn't work them out. This, IMHO, is a much more exciting format because of the selections and choice. Depending on one's first round choice the subsequent choices may not be based on the best overall talent but on what holes one needs plugged.

Kudos on the idea!

P.S. When I'm 45 games out, I reserve the right to change my mind!

Ok, it doesn't look like daniel is coming soon. I'm hitting the sack. I can't leave proxies cause I don#t know what I'm going to do. It all depends on the next two picks..

I'll make my pick in 9 hours, though, should it get to me.

Sorry in advance for the delay, but there are simply too many permutations to leave proxies. It's going to be a gut decision anyway...

Come on Rick, Strat comes before sleep and family. :lol: You can stay up and make your pick whenever that should come. :lol:

Ya just got to wonder about the priorities of some of these guys here. Sleep? Who needs that? :lol:
