Everyone is in, and draft has started. We are going with a 4-hour clock right off the bat.

I’m all for moving draft along but don’t think it is fail if Loki times out 1.03

Rotten Amoebas, on the other hand, had his choice of all of the drafts slots and chose the 4th, so he must have a master plan. If he doesn't chime in within the four hour clock... tough titties!

I thought better of it and turned the clock off for now. I'm eager to get this draft moving along but Jeff is right we can't have people missing their first picks, and while I did post about starting at noon today it wasn't a sure thing until it was.

The clock WILL start again tomorrow at noon ET.

I will be out of the country from 3/16-3/27/2023. I do not know what the internet coverage will be, but will do my best to keep up.

To my fellow players and online friends:
Because of health issues, I cannot participate in fantasy baseball leagues this year. My apologies for letting you know this close to the beginning of the season, but I truly thought that I would be able to play. Unfortunately that has proved not to be the case. Perhaps football in the fall or baseball in 2024. Good luck to all of you. It has been fun!!

Just happened to see this - if you guys need a replacement manager, I run an RIBC team (Smith and 9th) and would be happy to fill in for loki.

will await word from the league. I checked the draft - looks like Loki was the last selection made. I can live with Yordan, but if I was allowed to replace that with my own selection, I'd be delighted to make this team a "my guys" kind of team.

I'm sorry to see this, loki. I hope things will turn around for you soon!

I'd prefer not to have double-managers as it makes a bit of a mess of qualifying. Unfortunately at this point I don't think we have a choice. For now, since it's really late tonight, I'll stop the draft and we can sort this tomorrow.

soooo sorry guys ... I had an unexpected birthday party (with no 4G coverage) that I had to attend to and my routine got thrown off. When I got back home I forgot about the draft. Now I see that the draft is stopped and I cannot pick, while in past years I remember I could pick while draft was stopped.
I take the yellow card!!!
P.s. I am from Italy, so I have a six hours difference... anyway in past years I missed very fewpicks, and not in the first rounds...

KDL is in!

I sent an email to Fred asking how we can switch out managers in Draftime. I'm guessing he will have to reset everything to pre-draft status.

In the meantime I will get KDL set up in Yahoo.

Thanks for your patience everyone. This kind of threw me for a loop.

Welcome KDL and speedy recovery Loki.

If KDL wants a redo on 1.03 I’m cool with that.


Also nerf - thanks for commissioning. I’ll be glad to contribute the $10 Draftime fee you laid out as a thank you if you email me your Venmo or PayPal info

I've got my queue filled up: Harold Reynolds, Ichiro, Edgar Martinez, Griffey Jr., Jay Buhner, Jamie Moyer, .....

Fun facts about baseball of yore while we wait for the draft - Moyer had a career 5.4k/9 rate. Greg Maddux = 6.06k/p; Tom Glavine = 5.3k/p.

Randy Jones won 22 games and the Cy Young Award in 1976 with a 2.65k/9 rate. Jones struck out 93 guys over 315 innings and still had a sub-3.00 ERA - Ryan Helsley struck out more last year than Randy Jones did in 1976 in 251 fewer innings!

I am now in the draft, and notified Nerf. I told him my preferred draft choice (Julio Rodriguez) if I get my own selection.

We're back!

I just made KDL and maspero's picks. SR is up!

We will go untimed for the rest of the day but TOMRORROW we will start the clock at noon EDT. We are nearly a week behind where I wanted us to be.

Again, I apologize for all the delays. I know it's frustrating. Hopefully we will be on this now and get this done by the 30th, though it's going to be tight.

Hey folks,

Just letting you know that I will be traveling starting tomorrow at 2pm EDT through Sunday evening, so I might be slow to deal with anything if it comes up. In the meantime, Taxman has volunteered to enter keepers in Yahoo, so he'll be doing that through the weekend, at least until Monday. Thanks for helping out!

Not sure if it's drafttime or what. I have been leaving a queue and sometimes it's picking and sometimes not. Also I have not been getting emails when it's my turn until hours after. Like I just got the email and it's been my pick for 2 hours. Anyone else having this issue?

It would be fabulous if we could have this wrapped up on Friday but in order to do so we need to pick up the pace. The easiest way to do that is for more of you to use Auto-Pick. Let’s do this. SZ

Nerf - I'd like to suggest we shorten the clock to two hours. There are a handful of managers who never, ever use auto-pick nor pipe up in here about delays so it seems the only way to get this draft moving in a timely fashion is to shorten the clock.

We're scheduled to finish well before the start of the season, so I think we're okay.

That being said, please leave a queue and set it to auto if you know you're going to be out.

The draft is finished and the league has started. Please check your teams for accuracy.

Thanks again to Taxman for loading all the players into the Yahoo draft!

Also, great drafting, everyone! We got that done very nicely. Good luck to all!

can someone in this league post your current standings? curious to see how the stats line up with ribc. I'd post ribc standings but I've never had a clue how to do that on this forum.
