The New TKL 24

[travelingjack]

I'll make my pick in a few. Unless Turtle has a different plan (he's usually still sleeping right now, lazy sportswriters :P ) I'll turn clock on around 10 AM EST. Yesterday I think it turned on automatically at 9 EST, so I think that after today that's when it will start in the mornings. Not sure what time if any it shuts down at night. Clock should be on for rest of draft, 2 hour limit thru rd 10 then 1 hour until complete.

[b:a5bb8ecbba]mbertolli[/b:a5bb8ecbba]- Turtle approved (after the fact) your drop, you need to pick ASAP before more players are gone.

I have a BIG problem with mbertolli's SECOND drop of this draft - and the second time for NO apparent reason. He is the ONLY person so far to have to drop anyone and I see no valid reason given for why the drops should be allowed.

Shakey- I understand and pretty much agree with you, but see Turtle's post above. I would pm turtle if you think it needs further attention.

Just wanted to apologize for the outburst yesterday - it's tough looking 3/4/5 times a day and the draft not moving at all - but - I understand this is confusing to some of the newer guys (and Cubit :) )) I know it will get going a lot smoother once everyone is familar with the site....and THANKS for letting Oswalt drop to the 4th round :)

Tom.

Cubit - you are right, I haven't done this since PENN left, and it WAS a lot different THEN.......thinking I would like to do an ATG so I could utilize all the "stuff" they have added >>> :)

Tom.

Oh, and if I get to pick Utley up i'LL BE GLAD he dropped him :)

A few people have shown interest in prosepcts for picks. I have to go into a meeting for about 1/2 hour. If you can send me a firm proposal I'll check when I get back and respond.

Also, one question. If I trade my prospects for extra picks, does that mean that the draft would end for me at round 29?

Why is the clock off right now? It's past 10am EST.

[mbertolli]

This system is crazy! I tried to drop Utley right after I took him as I was in the process of ranking players when I drafted. I expected that as soon as I dropped him my next ranked palyer would be selected. This did not happen and now Ive lost the pick I wanted.

I would prefer to have Utley back.

What do you mean trade back the last round pick?

sample:


ed receives

smokey 7th round FA pick

smokey receives

ed's prospect pick
ed' 30th round FA pick

this way the rosters stay balanced and no picks are added to the draft. i believe we are 31 rounds to accommodate a stadium
