I just got back from LA and surprise, somehow I got Lance Berkman with pick 13. :shock: :shock: I didn't want nor did I have him on the proxy list. This really sucks. :evil: How could this have happened?? Now I have to get approval to drop him??? Having Berkman is really screwing up the draft. He has used all the money up. I am really pissed off. I checked my proxy list before I left on a trip. I really wonder what the hell is going on? I dropped him now but the damage has been done.Man this is not worth the aggravation. You wait and wait and then when you leave for one day this crap happens. I thought the draft site was turned off. (see my post of Friday ) Can we hold off making picks until this is straightened out?

[RICKZELLER1]

Were you able to drop Berkman & get a player you wanted?

If yes does that mean we can move this thing along?
most of us have been diligent in trying to get the draft from hell done.

If not what do we do to make this right?

[PAULMINICUCCI]

So far I am not able to drop Berkman. I clicked on the drop button but he still is showing up as a drafted player. As I understand it the commish or someone has to okay the drop. That's why I need to have the draft stop until he is off my list. The problems are: four players on my proxy list were chosen in the interim that is right after the 13th pick and before the 14th pick. Secondly, Berkman is a $6.46 million player so he has ballooned my payroll to 72. million and so I will be unable to draft the three or four players I need.

I am willing just to move forward, if I can get Berkman dropped so I can get on with it and just forfeit the 13 th pick. There is no way to undo the 13th round so I guess I will just let that go.

I do not know how this happened. One explanation is that early in the draft Berkman was a back-up choice, but when he was picked by someone else he dropped off my list. I wonder if when he was re-instated when someone else had picked and dropped him if he somehow got re-instated on my proxy list without me knowing it. This is very strange. This process has been jinked for me. My id was worng and I couldn't get on the draft then I was only able to get onto the wrong site (the first old site) then I was off altogether. I thought everything got straightened out. Now Big Lance shows up. It is very much too strange. The baseball gods are telling me something here.

I would like to resolve this so we can all move ahead and finish this damn thing.

I apologize for this hiatus. I cannot understand how any of this happened. I mean I even printed out my draft list and looked at it on the plane. Berkman was nowhere in site. Strange.

[PAULMINICUCCI]

I would be ever so grateful if someone, like the commish or someone else who has admin. authority would attend to the mistake that was made in the 13th round when Berkman was sent to my club by mistake. I am now down to less than 2 million in slary cap sapce and will not be able to make another selection until this is addressed. I have already missed out on one draft pick I hope I will not have to forfeit another pick. Thanks.

[RICKZELLER1]

Have you sent a PM to Teepack yet? He is probably the one that can fix the situation for you.

[PAULMINICUCCI]

Thanks for the suggestion Rick. I sent a PM to teepack. I hope he csn fix the error.
