NLD 57 - Yo hon, it's a Johan NLD

So far we have 5 votes (I'm assuming Big A will vote yes ) for letting him fix on his next pick. I'm guessing that we''ll get a thumbs up on the "draft four players proposal. Big A, make sure you don't have any proxies on right now.

In the mean time the draft can continue. Toshiro, you're on the clock.

Shouldn't he fix it sooner? Lotsa guys are gonna go off the boards before his next pick

I guess I am thinking that guys may have passed on guys thinking they would pick before big a so we'll just fix it at one time

Can't we continue picking in the meantime?

Kind of an assumption there, if it were my team, I'd want it fixed asap. Would reduce my playing satisfaction to come out of the shoot with a horse with a bum leg. Did you ask BigAlric what he wanted to do?

Of course I'd like the draft to move, but there's no clock on the weekend, so it's not like it's urgent to move the draft along.

I'm OK with his switching any of his guys from picks 3 on for any players still on the board. If he can do it quickly, it's like giving him a mid-draft waivers. We would then know who he is dropping, in case we have an interest.

Can he do it in a 3-hour "pick" time frame?

Ah Jeez, this is getting complicated.

Yes, it's an assumption that people passed on someone after Big A picked because no one after them needs a certain position, but I think it's a reasonable one.

Big A just now brought it up. I realize that he was busy and just noticed, but I did bring up earlier that Big A might have had a proxy fail, but there was no comment from him or anyone else.

I'm not sure he's even awake right now given that he's in Europe. Do we want to wait until he shows back up, or continue til it's his pick and then we're on pause anyway.

My feeling was that it would be easier to let guys take their next pick with the board like they thought it was before they picked last and then let Big A catch up. I know sometimes there are two guys at a position that you can live with. If Big takes one and another one gets taken then we just screwed someone else who didn't konw that Big A was going to take four players. That's my logic anyway.

Yea not sure what to make of it either.

Everyone who is busy with things should keep in mind that you *can* access the site via iphone/hand held device. I have made picks that way. It's tougher to do it on a tiny screen but you can use the 2 finger thing to expand the site so you can click buttons.

Big A said he woulda gotten better SPs but I was able to pull down Merrill Kelly and Lance Lynn 2 -4 rounds after the Elieser pick.

Ok, once we get to Big A's pick (and hopefully he doesn't have a proxy) we'll pause the draft and get his replacement picks. In the meantime if anyone wants one of the players he accidentally drafted (Bader, Frazer, Lin) make a deal with Big A.

Stones and Semper, if you see the draft get to Big A, please pause it.

KLX, if you want to hold off on your pick until Big A checks in, feel free to do so, but you do not have to.

If it gets to me before BigA weighs in, I'll wait during my time, to give him a chance (just paused my proxies). Thanks for your work on this, Joe. I don't ever remember Stratdraft having this problem in earlier drafts.
