In regards to the draft...

[Sully]

Guys, to help speed things up, please submit a big board to Andrew if you'll be away from the forum for a couple hours, and your pick is upcoming.

Thanks.

[Sully]

Come on, fellas.

It shouldn't take this long, for a league this small, to complete one round.

True.... but it's not like it's holding up our league or anything. And apparently, unlike many of us, a couple people have lives outside the internet...which I don't understand WHY one wwould want that, but to each their own....

[rubisco43]

right... didn't we start the board draft so we can kill some time until our league problem is solved?

We sure did, but 12 picks in over 2 days?

Our league issue is supposedly at the top of their "to-do" list, and I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'd like to finish the draft while we're waiting...rather than use the downtime as an excuse to procrastinate.

The having lives outside the internet argument works only if people are forced to be in a league. They aren't. When you sign up to particpate in something like this you do have a responsibility to 19 other people. Like it or not it is a fact.

I have a way more important things in my life than my online sports leagues. That being said I wouldn't participate if I knew I couldn't find a few minutes a day to do my duties.

I'll pitch in my two cents as well and say that I agree with Sully and Jistic.

I've made a pretty comprehensive spreadsheet of all the draft picks that is sortable by any hitting and pitching attribute for each player. The ratings are color-coded (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) as they are in the game. It is pretty straight forward and easy to understand. I'll go out on a limb and say that it breaks the draft down enough so that a 1st grade student could see who are the good picks and the not so good. This should make providing a "Big Board" to Andrew about as easy as it gets.

Let me know if you want a copy and I'll e-mail it or AIM it to you.

Just so I can jump on board, what will we all bitch about after the draft is done (theoretically)?

Well, rumor has it that a patch is now being tested and is tentatively scheduled for release either next Thursday or Friday. If that is the case, then we really don't have much time to complete the draft, make any changes to our teams, and get rolling again.

At this rate we won't even finish the draft by then anyways.

Well, let's finish the draft, then we'll wrestle that bear to the ground!

[HWessinmouse]

I've already sent my draft list to the commish. I bet if everyone followed suit...blah blah...is it my pick yet?

[Andrew]

I have a feeling it's not going to pick up much over the weekend. What's everyones thoughts on having an online draft Tuesday night, picking up at whatever point the forum draft left off? This way I can have the CPU pick for those who don't attend or send in lists.

[HWessinmouse]

If it can't be another night (Tuesdays bad for me) then sure, I've submitted my list (did you get it Andrew?) and will go along with whatever the group decides.

Signed,

Yes, I got lists from you, Syracuse and Windy City.

Probably the people who are bitching about this taking so long.
