2013 BLB Amateur Draft Beginning Mon 9/7

I like that pick. I considered him at 1.15. His stats and the injury scared me off. But he might be able to make it as a backend starter like your scout says.

Ditto. He was in my top three going into my pick.

Thanks man, hopefully you're right, Arizona has another nice SP in the oven right now for the next year. . Maybe I can bring the old friends together in the next draft :)

2.6 available

Pitt is really happy to get SP Ernie Nunn of out the 'U' at 1.20. I think he has a chance to be special if he continues to improve the way he has

If I held on to my original 1st was gonna snag him had he'd been there. Once you put him at SS he's probably a top 50 player. My scout has his pot at 5-5-5-5-6. Steal of the draft.

Ryan has all our numbers.

Classic.

Oh, you guys!

Why was I autoed? I thought the clock started at 8am and round 2 was 4 hours?

Sucks...

Was the clock shorter because of time logged last night?

If your guy is still available, I'm sure a commish could change...if we adopt that rule.

Even so I should have have about 90mins this morning to pick. The pick came in at 7:15 this morning which is before the day went live.

Correction: It would have been 15mins after the day went live.

One issue that I see is the server time is Central but we set the limits in Eastern. It is a bit confusing. And unfortunately I had back-to-back 15+ hour days so I haven't been focused on the draft.

FWIW I would have gone with Yonke here rather than Perkins.

Fixed. Directly related to a time issue when the clock was turned back on this morning.

Nice pick with Yonke.

Now that we did a roll back, 1B Bob Perkins is available to be picked. If you are using the utility, he will no longer be on your Draft List because he was selected temporarily by Los Alamos. Just FYI. I'm sure he goes in the next 10 or so picks but would hope people notice this.

I hate doing rollbacks for this specific reason, but this was a legitimate case where Spot didn't get the time that should have been allotted to him and a pick that fired as soon as the clock was enabled again this morning.

[BradZ]

To further clarify (since we've had instances in the past): rollbacks don't apply to traded picks that don't get processed in time for the new team to take make their selection. Coordinate with your trading partner and have them make the selection for you. It's much easier to fix the drafting team after the fact than the ripple effect caused by rollbacks.

We will only deploy rollbacks when the issue is completely out of the hands of the teams impacted.

Thanks Brad! (And Matt...)

You guys don't get enough thanks around here...

Seriously though it's great to know that we can count on you guys, and everyone in the league really, to keep it fun. It really is the little things.

Thanks.

And while I am glad I did get Yonke, Perkins wasn't the worst pick in that spot nor the worst auto I have seen. It's just that I wouldn't have gone in that direction.

Is there a mod for player first names? Seems like our names are getting dated and would be cool to have something more modern. This is what made me think of it:
