I gotta tell ya - I had proxies at the start, but with such a low salary cap, my strategy/priorities keep changing based on everyone else's picks...some positions can become instantly scarce, and I have to adjust the timing of when I grab a certain position/player.

BUT...haven't missed a pick yet, since I've been able to check in quite frequently.

Ditto. I check in constantly, and I would prefer to stay up to date with what everyone else is doing in the draft so I can manage my draft strategy accordingly.

Plus, I use the proxy section as more of a "watch list". I don't want to accidentally turn that on and start erroneously picking players.

It's a new twist to building a team. :roll: You are a pioneer.

Though it's never been done before, building your team around [i:eeb1abcb1a][b:eeb1abcb1a]Omar Vizquel[/b:eeb1abcb1a][/i:eeb1abcb1a] could work...

Guys,
We all know the draft is going.
We all know the pickings are slim.
At this point, our team strategy HAS to be finalized.

CAN WE SPEED THIS UP A BIT?

Jeepdriver,

Just a reminder that after your Jim Thome splurge, you now have just $10.66M to make 15 more picks, an average of just over $0.71M per player.

Yeah, I never question Jeep's strategy as he is a proven winner, but perhaps he may have forgotten the $60M just for a split moment. Then again, he might believe has a solid team of 10 guys he can surround with minions.
Again, I never doubt Jeep's strategies. 2009 game is Exhibit A. No one could stop him. :shock:
