"THOSE WERE THE DAYS" LEAGUE

I like that idea

I Agree let's move the drafting to 1 hour blocks

Harold Homers

Sounds good to me too.

While normally I would be ok with this, I am not so hot on it now.

I'm leaving in the morning for Houston, then Dallas for some real baseball games. With all the time I have put into this draft I really don't want to lose players I might want on my roster because I am in an airplane or watching a game.
The nature of this draft does not lend to sending proxies 19 picks in advance.

The 2 hour window is the premise we began with and I think we should stick to it rather than change in midstream.

Email sent to each of the managers:

There has been a suggestion that we move to a one-hour clock for the second half of the initial free agent draft, since things appear to have slowed down a bit, now that the major stars have been picked.

Are there any objections to trying to speed things up?

Terry

Between email and posts in this thread, we have 15 responses so far -- which is outstanding! -- with 14 in agreement and 1 who is traveling saying "no".

It takes 16 votes to change a rule, so 2 more "yes" votes will move us to a one-hour clock.

Note to Jay: Send your cell phone number to me by email and I will text you when your turn is within a couple of hours of popping up. You can send me a couple of proxies and we'll be good to go!

Can I vote for a 1 hour clock starting monday morning?

Sorry, this is not McDonald's -- special orders DO upset us. I'll probably go stir crazy if the draft drags along until Monday morning.

I would offer you the same option as JMP1: Send your cell phone number to me by email and I will text you when your turn is within a couple of hours of popping up. You can send me a couple of proxies and we'll be good to go!
