I have sent out Yahoo invites and a few have yet to sign up. Let me know if you are not in Yahoo and did not get an invite.

Fred at Draft Time is hoping to get the site ready for MLB later this week. Please look for invite to Draftime and sign up promptly when you get it.

Draft order selection
We will start our draft order selection once we get all 16 signed up at Yahoo. You all know the drill.

Draft
I will launch the draft as soon as everyone signs up for draftime and the draft selection ends. We have more time this year because their are no early regular season games in Asia/Australia this year. As a result, I'm targeting a draft start of Saturday, 7 MAR. There will be at least 24 hours of untimed draft, otherwise I hope to keep the clock at 4 hours with daily pause between midnight and 8AM EST, the clock will start on Monday, 9 MAR. History two weeks of slow draft generally works well, so we target draft completion 23 MAR and season start on 25 MAR.

email addresses
Please let me know if there is a better way to contact you - either a different email or perhaps a phone number for texting. I will only text if we desperately cannot find you any other way.


Let’s keep the chatter up and good luck to all

So this is the order we will pick our draft order in.

Just a note I will be on vacation from 3/1 - 3/15. I might be slow to draft the first week. I will be on a cruise so hoping the wifi works. The last time I drafted while on a cruise I won the league, so...

OK, guys thanks for getting this done. Everyone is enrolled in Draft Time too.

Here is our remaining schedule:

07 MAR Draft Time open (untimed)
09 MAR Four Hour clock begins
23 MAR Target Draft End
25 MAR MLB Opening Day

So, go do your draft research now. Remember that there will be a daily pause from Midnight to 8AM EST. Also remember that Ohtani and others who are both hitter and pitcher are drafted and rostered as separate players. Good Luck.

It won't happen this year, but it would be crazy to see Shohei go #1 and #2 in the same draft. Or (certainly possible this year) for a manager to draft Shohei twice.

The Political League, a 25 year old Rotoguru born keeper league, still needs one replacement manager this year. It's a 10 cat rotisserie league with 5 prospect keepers (8 on roster) as well as 7 MLB keepers.

Let me know if interested.

Draft has started untimed.

Four hour clock begins on Monday

Proper etiquette is to attempt to make your pick inside your four hour window even though it is not enforced. Have patience with those who do not follow this etiquette, they may be unaware of the draft start or had previous obligations.

Good Luck and have fun

Why are we going so slow? Three picks skipped in the first 63? And I don’t want to the hear the “well, some of us have jobs” line of hooey cause I KNOW all y’all and you are the same bunch of bums as years past.

Ack, I checked all my teams to see if I had got stuck with Hunter Greene earlier in the draft. Forgot to check the one draft that he was not already gone, he was in my queue apparently.

Thanks Holt/Philsphan,

I'll just live with it, and whine. He is projected to come back later this season, and I have an injury slot. I usually pick up a few good SPs during the season. About the only thing I improve my team with it seems, can never get in on the rotating closers.
