Besides totally hating my team right now( I think I have one good player for my stadium- Jones), I've got to say that I would have preferred drafting 6th/7th than 3rd/10th.

That said, I'll stop my whining and I'll put myself at the mercy of this process.

good luck all.

Didn't see Newk's names on the eligibles, but I remember seeing him on the original list. If he's off-limits, let me know and I'll repick. I live in San Diego and Thursday is my one late day of the week, not home until 8 p.m. PDT. Tom

Newcombe is good, all yours - bontomn

CTS - you know with all your bitching and moaning you'll probably have the best NeL squad. Definitely nobody's taking an extra base on you!

Rosie,

How do we choose our draft settings when we set up our teams. Auto or live. I've already chosen a team (MLB) using the auto draft setting which includes my franchise pick. Will this work or will I have to back completely out and choose live draft?

ED

Lanier,

What you did works fine. As you draft your guys here on the boards you'll simply place those guys as your auto draft selections. The rest of us won't pick your guys and they'll end up on your team.

make sense?

I think its your pick over in the MLB draft

So whats the cap? I realize we want to limit the studs on the MLB teams but isn't 100 really gonna hamstring the NeL? I think Pete Hill, Jimmy Lyons and Cool Papa should all be on teams even if its as a bench guy....

I'll make my pick shortly but just wanna know how much I have to work with.

AKA, i feel the cap lowering to 100 may hurt the NeL teams more than the MLB teams as it will merely "shape" those".

We may not get our pools best talent? How about a 100 cap vs 107 cap or something crazy like that?

Really not trying to load the dice just trying to find a balance that I think 100 vs 100 might not provide.
