GMKL CHAT:

Cubit e-mailed me this morning, said he'd be getting on things soon...

... 'course I'm not sure what his definition of soon is.

APOLOGIES ALL. Life got in the way; thought I had posted the first pick this AM, but could not check until tonight.

Before we get to far along in the draft, it has been brought to my attention that I sent out a players available list that includes every player that played last year and not one of only carded players. This COULD be a problem, as it has also been brought to my attention that it may say in the rules that only online carded players are eligible.
I'm away from home and can not check either the rules or my spreD sheets to see what was done in the past.
That said, seeing as we haven't gotten to far and we won't get past pick 5 until Monday, we could just vote to use all MLB players. However some of you may prefer only carded players(not sure why given that I send a players available sheet anyway). So i'm leaving up to you, it's your league afterall.

PS I can monitor the boards via my phone but do not have access to my computer or spreadsheets while I'm away from home. I'll be back monday

7) Players eligible for the draft are defined as: Any player with MLB experience prior to the start of the Current year's MLB season, regardless of whether there is a card In the online game or not.

Then I was misinformed and was correct sending out the sheet I did. Thanks for checking Bob, I did get my info from a reliable source but being as I don't have acces to my spreadsheets I couldn't check myself. Problem solved.

Sorry guys, I was reading from the Initial Draft clause (carded only) and thought I was reading from FA draft, I was Niners' initial source.

Hardly a problem. Good to see everyone on their toes though.

so....is Grady Sizemore eligible or not?

Yes, any player with MLB experience....even if it's from the last decade when Grady was good.

Over to Niner...

Please keep comments out of the draft thread.

I know I'm up, there is party very interested in acquiring the pick and we have been trying to consummate a deal, but it's been difficult as I'm not home nor do I have have as much access as I normally do.
Hopefully the pick will be in, one way or another, later today.

And regarding guys like Gradu Sizmore, yes they are available in the draft.
