Reelin' in the Years League

[quote:c2469607af="tcochran"]Good lord! Padre went to US Cell and Grover went to Petco. All of my basic assumptions about this league are crumbling...[/quote:c2469607af]

I know...I feel uncomfortable. I KNOW this is the swansong for my club, they're all retiring, breaking or entering their late 30s, they all have lousy 2011s, and I figure it's time to reach. I drafted a couple of BP sluggers, and most of my pitchers aren't too bad on the long ball. We'll see. I won't have anyone with a 2.00 ERA this year, that's for sure.

Jeez, and here we have Meat holding up the end of the draft! :lol:

[tcochran]

BTW, ggrover emailed this morning to say that he was waiting on a credit to be moved and would load his team as soon as that was done.

[quote:100a64f97c="he's meat"]Getting started by monday doesn't really matter to me, it's just big gaps and no rhythum in the draft, and some people taking the time to leave proxies or let us know they're not around for the most part...and it only takes one or two to create daily two hour gaps, sometimes multiple times...needlessly. the clock should probably be an hour from 8th round on, or til midnight, or something to get it moving...[/quote:100a64f97c]

I never replied last night, but I also do like a good, speedy draft. It's not to get the league started sooner; it's just that there's a certain sense of excitement and fun, anticipating the next moves in the draft and seeing if the players you want will still be available at your next turn.

That being said, I'm not in favor of shortening the draft window from the two-hour clock. Even those of us (like me) who spend most of their days online still have to be away from time to time.

The only change I would suggest would be that we avoid allowing somebody to have multiple consecutive two-hour gaps. Maybe if someone has timed out on one turn, then they should automatically be skipped on later turns, until they resurface?

That way, at least we would not have to sit idle for two more hours for someone who has not yet completed a previous pick. What do you think?
