Blah, awful spot! Hahaha.

KT

Which one were you hoping for? Every slot seems to have its share of potential landmines this year.

Wanted top 3 because any of those guys I'd be happy with, or in the last 2 spots because I like being at the turn. Being right in the middle stinks.

3rd straight year TJ got the 1.2 draft spot. Let's see if he can do anything with it this year.

really? lol...probably not because I have never won this league.

 

[glenn1]

damn if you take him then I guess I'll go with A-rod

You better not take Bartolo Colon out from under me. He's gonna win me the steals and OBP category for me thus year on the way to the batting triple crown.

sleeper pick!!!

 

[glenn1]

Why is Yahoo full of such idiots in mock drafts? Half the mocks someone does something completely stupid like pick Schwarber at 1.1 or DeGrom before Kershaw.

Hey guys, neovan contacted me last night and apologized for the late reply. He said he could pay the buy in right away. Is it too late or should we let him in?

I dont mind letting him in if he accepts last draft spot at this point

Actually..thats usually not a bad draft spot. Maybe that is benefiting him. Hmmm

Someone else might want the 12 spot; I know KT expressed interest in it. I don't know if he or someone else would want to move into it at this point however since people have been building their strategies for their draft spot for nearly a week. I'm perfectly willing to let him have my 9 hole spot in trade for the 12 presuming a league majority votes to let him in. I'll take KT's 6 hole if he wants the 12 also. Basically I don't care what spot I draft from.

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm fine with letting him in. I'll take any draft spot too; have not had any time to practice anyway, so I'm open to changing spots.

OK, so there's at least 2 volunteers. I'll give KT right of first refusal on the 12. If he wants the 12 I'll be happy to take his 6 spot but won't be hurt if I stay in the 9 either. I guess it comes down to whether the rest of the league thinks that Neovan would be getting the better spot if given the 6, 9, or 12.

 

[KeithTalent]

I'll take the 12 slot if it's available. Thanks.

KT

 

[TangoJuliet]

Ok, seems like the majority is open to letting him back in. He still needs to re-register his team and pay like right now. So once those things happen we'll move KT to #12, glenn to #6 and neovan will get #9.

 

[Imported]

Oh, the draft is tomorrow. Anyone know how long last year's took? I missed it unfortunately.

I dont remember exactly, but i usually give myself at least 3 hours.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah I go with about a 3.5 hour window.

KT

 

[TangoJuliet]

22 rounds (x) 12 teams = 264 players. 30 second max bid = 132 minutes (max)

11 teams = 121 minutes (max)

edit:

sorry the 30 seconds is what they use on the mock drafts. Our draft is 90 seconds/pick so you'll probably be looking at 2.5 - 3.5 hours

edit2:

oh and still no response from neovan from my reply this morning. I wouldnt get too excited that he is going to join us this year.

We need a firm cutoff time, say if payment hasn't been received in the next 4 hours he's out.

How about 8pm? I think he last logged in around 7:45pm last night. Give him a full 24 hours

Yeah, that works. It's also 24 hours before the beginning of the draft.

He paid. Just waiting for him to sign up

 

[KeithTalent]

Woot. :thumbsup:

[TangoJuliet]

I was just posting a message to the league when I realized that KT was supposed to draft #5 not #6 as previously mentioned. Glenn, you're ok with taking that slot?

 

[TangoJuliet]

Well, he paid for his team but has yet to register.....grrrrrrrrr

 

[KeithTalent]

Well as long as he registers by draft time, right?
