Greetings, all......pitchers and catchers have reported, so it is time to get things moving on the 2012 G20 season.

First order of business: Please confirm whether or not you are returning!

We'll get keeper dates (something around March 10th-13th) and draft dates (maybe the 14th-16th-ish) going pretty soon as well.

Lots of trade possibilities out there! Time to see some picks and players moved around!

I think I've had Thome every year since this league has existed so couldn't resist.

jaysherby 1) is up; 2) has a filled queue; and 3) missed the last pick.

Shouldn't a Draftime administrator (commissioner) pick for him?

I think I have all the guys picked up on ESPN. Make sure you check your rosters.

As for Slizz, by rule, if you miss a pick, you are skipped until you are caught up. When I noticed he was up again, I manually skipped him. Email sent to him and PD.

Am talking to slizz via IM. He is working and has worked 40 hours since Friday and is still working. He thought PD was picking for him. We are working on getting his picks made.

I emailed Fred earlier today.

Use a placeholder?

R9 has missed tow picks. By rule, he gets an additional 3 hours to make up his missed pick or until the last draft pick is made, whichever is later. If he does not make a pick in time, the draft will be shut off and he will not be able to pick up anyone until we officially open the league up. That means everyone dumping prospects and we set up our rosters again, etc. I am emailing him.

Btw, this rule was implemented several years back after people were intentionally timing out late in the draft so they could look at news and then pick up someone instantly. Yes, we have had drafts end without everyone getting to use all their picks because of this--but it's only been a couple of times.

And it wouldn't be a G20 draft without my drafting the last player. ;) I think I've had 14.20 3 years running now...

      Sun, Mar 25, 2012, 21:28
It's all good. He would have gotten 3 more hours to make all three of his picks once 14.20 came up.

I don't have time to pick up queues this minute for people but I might be able to do that later. Please make sure you have picked up all players so we can get the prospects off our teams and set up in Guru's fancy-schmancy program that alerts us when someone picks up a prospect. Then once we get all the parameters set, we will announce when free agents will be allowed to be picked up.

      Mon, Mar 26, 2012, 13:45
We should do this:
1. Rerun keepers, as originally done.
2. Assign every team LM powers so that they can pick up all of their own drafted players.
3. If people don't have their players loaded in time for the Wednesday game, then they don't get those stats.

Forcing people to first drop players will be a timing nightmare.

15 minutes ago I thought I got stuck in a time spiral. now everything is clear.

- dropped all my non-keepers.
- kept 10 players (9 keepers + Jesus Montero)
- will call up Jesus Montero for Brandan Ryan
- picked up 6 others that were free agents (is this good or bad when 6 of your players were unowned at the end of last season?)

I am not waiting for these 8 players to report at my spring training facility: Kotchman, Raburn, Melky Cabrera, Guerra, Greg Holland, Vogelsong, Capuano, Dotel

332: Guru, that will also work. There were some mistakes made by people marking wrong keeper. Those will need to be fixed today.

I can set keepers to run at 3:00 ET and will send yet another email out.

People will need to drop prospects and load their own players via LM. Will send instructions for that too.

Sorry for the double email. I hit enter and it sent it before I was done with the first one. Must have fat fingered the tab button or something.

I think I can simply hit draft is over and it will auto run the Keepers so it doesn't matter. Re-checking roster setup now.

Keepers and Draft have re-run successfully and you may now enter your draft players to your roster via the LM tab as previously mentioned.

MAKE SURE you click on add as LM so it will bypass the waiver process. Also, once you are done, click back on your browser so you only need to click on your player instead of having to go through the entire process each time. Please do this right now if possible.
