[quote:6d39b91ff8="kaviksdad"]I can't find any record of Dan and Jagman making their last prospect draft picks in last fall's draft.
Which begs some questions:
- Did they pick and I fail to see it?
- Did they not pick by choice?
- Did they just forget, and the rest of us forget to remind them?
In any case, this somehow needs to be resolved (glad I'm not commish).
In my opinion, allowing them to make those picks now gives them an unfair advantage over the rest of the league because they had an extra amount of time to observe and judge the prospects. A guy who might have been top rated during the draft might now be out of baseball because of injury - he might have been highly sought after during the draft, but nobody wants him now.
It would be my suggestion that we work something out before the season begins. I'm not sure just giving an extra prospect pick to each would be fair either - since the player pool is different than it was during the last prospect draft and players now eligible weren't eligible then.
It's all so confusing...but it's not my call to make.
And if Dan and Jagman did somehow make their last picks in last year's prospect draft then I really should know who they were - since I keep the records.[/quote:6d39b91ff8]
In all honesty I completely forgot to make my pick. Did a "Oh my pick, gotta run now but will do it later" and just forgot. However, I don't quite see how it is unfair. Rosco made his pick (the last pick) on Oct. 16th, and the minor league season had already been completely finished, playoffs included, for a month. It's not like Cory and I can pick Darvish or something, the same players are available now as were then. But I am fine with whatever is decided.
