Can't think up a good strategy, so I'm going for the cheap 3b to confuse the crowd. Is it working?

As Casey Stengel said, "You have to have a catcher because if you don't, you're likely to have a lot of passed balls."

I will update the draft info tonight on the pick lists and then keep on top of that. Work will be a bit of a bear today.

Also want to touch base with the masses about the pace. It is slower than I expected but I am ok with it. I do want your input in that regard though. Are you ok with the pace? Want a clock? Want to try to all be around for a couple of hours some night to knock out a few rounds? Like I said, I am fine with the current pace but want your input.

I'm fine with it as is, but wouldn't mind being around one night to knock out some faster rounds.

Should we consider autodrafting some of the later rounds?

I'm fine with the pace. With the new 2012 cards out, I have loads of other leagues starting / drafting. I'm also in Britain, so not likely I'd be able to sync up for a nightly session.

The slower pace is okay. Trying to be all together at some time would be okay with me also....assuming I am not at work.

I'm fine with the pace, though people may want to start leaving proxies if they know that they'll be away for a while. I like the idea of doing all 26 rounds on here, rather than a partial autodraft.

I am cool with the pace.

I'll send an e-mail out to everyone on the league once it gets going, but I am going to start a Shuffle-Keeper League. Initial idea is that the 1st season would be a board draft (or auto draft). After season 1, each team designates 10 keepers, then we do the shuffle, and you could find that you got all of your keepers, some of your keepers, or NONE of them.

I've got three interested so far and I thought I'd open it up to all of you before bringing it to the boards.
