I don't think that's the answer. Guys just need to be on or have plenty of proxies.
If you can't do either of those then you shouldn't have commited to a LD. It's one thing if you have proxy problems, or once in awhile miss a deadline, but that's not what's killing us right now.
I'm assuming Big M will be waking up within a couple of hours and will pick.
Hopefully there is nothing seriously wrong with DJ. Maybe he just figured he'd be skipped and Big M would pick, but that doesn't account for proxies which won't make the first pick when the clock expires.
On the bright side, we've made 20 picks so far today which is twice our average.
