9-12 determined by playoffs

By the way, I'm probably shopping my #3 overall pick. Interested in SP, CF, 2B. I might also like to move up in the draft if Sykes or killermarc are interested in a my pick + a player.

I might be interested in making a move. We just got back from Florida and my immunocompromised wife has COVID. I gotta lay out a team budget etc, but I'm open to ideas.

Going to be a few hours at least before I make any pick or trade.

I've mentioned before that we could realign the divisions part way through the decade.

How about a realignment after the 2004 season? New divisions would be randomized.

I could go either way. I'm not pushing this option. What are people's preferences?

i would vote to randomly reorder the divisions. Either now or after 2004.

I like random division…let’s start with 2004

I'd like to acknowledge Sykes' post where he mentioned his wife's situation - I hope that everything goes ok for her and for you, Sykes.

We can be patient with Sykes and his decision about making a pick or trade. Obviously what he's dealing with is way more important than this league. But also, we won't be able to get far into this draft until the 2003 playoffs are complete anyway. If we're delayed a few days or whatever, it's not a big deal.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

In the meantime, feel free to weigh in regarding the question of realigning the divisions.

Thanks. I've got two down now. 15 year old has it. Second time for him.

I thought I replied saying that I was okay with the trade and pick swap. Maybe the DM didn't go through.

I'm also feeling like horseshit despite testing negative daily. Might only be a matter of time.
