Thanks EvaMaria and Morpheus
RioDave who has the FIRST pick lives in Spain and is going to bed. He has left his proxy pick with me, so, once nymets checks in, I will post RioDave's pick and Morpheus can then post his pick at #2.....btw....RioDave's pick will be Willie Mays, however, Morpheus, please don't post your pick until we get confirmation from nymets....THANKS.
Clarification - unlike other leagues we have done here in the past with FRANCHISE players, you do NOT need to announce the player's card you are going to draft. You are free to change cards freely during the pre-season so if you draft say the cheap Hornsby, you can switch to one of his more expensive versions at ANY time WITHOUT restriction. Additionally, although I don't anticipate trading any of my top picks, there is NO restriction on trading players in the league.....so that everyone is on the same page.....additionally, there will be no draft order for the AUTODRAFT, HAL will determine tie breakers for all of the remaining players to be drafted after round 5.
