Event #4 - Live Draft - League #6

[Maxie Minoso]

His first pick was Metrodome '05.

Apparently Tall Guy had his stadium choice(s) stolen from him while he is asleep in Japan. I haven't a clue when dawn's rosy hue appears in Japan.

The final four drafters after him have all selected their parks. I recommend finishing the draft on this board so we can start filling out our teams.

The owners are, in pending draft order:
jeliii
Maxie Minoso
Mr. Regulator

THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION ONLY and subject to Mighty Moose's approval.

I approve and in the worst case scenario - if something goes haywire while we are rushing to load the league by tonights deadline - if somebody winds up with an improper stadium, I can engage Bernie to make a manual change for us before first pitch.

I can sympathize with Glanny. I began the draft thinking it was a no cap draft AND a DH league. Otherwise I would never have taken Monster Head with my first pick, or any pick. Ohwell.

P.S., rosy dawn comes at 4:30 here in Japan.

This is what I posted in the thread for the EARLY LEAGUE #1 and #2 - I THOUGHT I posted it here or at MINIMUM said it in the e-mails that went out that said the live draft was starting. I may be incorrect but that is my recollection.

Remember to consider the stadium groupings.

This will be 100 Mil, NO DH, 5/10/20% drop.

Thanks and good luck in your draft. Please be mindful of the other players and post here if you plan on being out of touch and away from the draft for a period of time.

One more thing, I do feel compelled to discuss the differences in this live draft and TSN live drafts. This is NOT an unlimited salary cap draft or league. The live draft application will not let you spend more money than you have, so it will always hold out a reserve for your bench players. So 10 bench players at .50 each - and you can never spend more than 95 mil in the draft. If it wont let you select or draft a player or proxy them, this is probably why. - So dont spend money WILDLY on getting the most expensive players, like you might on the TSN live draft app. This live draft app is DIFFERENT so please keep an eye on your spending.

Moose, I never saw that anywhere. When I got back into town I saw two emails you had sent while I was away. The first round had already started so I hopped right in. I also didn't realize that stadiums were exclusive. And given what I just read in your above post, it looks like I've screwed myself on the cap reserve. Plus, if we don't go more than 16 rounds here, I also have the problem of having not chosen a ballpark.

Whew.

By the way, I am not complaining about all this. While I might not have gotten some of the information, it was no one's fault that I happened to get to my emails after the draft had started. Sh-t just happens.

No worries. :D

For the ballpark selection - DROP your last pick, someone will approve it, then repick your stadium

I think I dated Rosy Dawn once. Or at least saw her dance.

In case I wasn't clear -- my screwups on this draft are my responsibility and no one else's.

I humbly accept the dunce cap and will wear in facing the wall. :oops:
