no, just don't include anyone from your team. Leave your team blank nad add the draft pick(s) in the offer line.
I just got an email from Go saying he won't be home tonight. I'm going to see what I can do to assist him , but don't think I can accept it for him. Might have to do it manually.

Attention anyone making trades.
Make sure to modify your keepers both in the league thread and by clicking the appropriate players as keepers on the league site.

I'd likely move my #1 next season for a top 10 pick this season. You surely know that'll be another top 5 pick looking at my pathetic squad!
I'd package that pick with one of the above players. Only a few hours left...

Addendum to the Browns-Packers trade (post 58):
Please allow the Browns to retain their pick at 5.02. Somehow with all the traded picks today, I lost track and thought that he had an extra pick and that I was short one. My current picks should be 1.01, 1.05, 2.05, 3.06 and 5.06.

SJ, I'll look into your post, but normally what goes down in the official trade is final. If there is an issue where you trade a pick that you don't have, etc. that is another thing.

Re: 65 Changed. Sorry, must have been looking at the trade above it.
Re: 66, sorry but the trades stand. You can get around it by trading that draft pick for a guy you're not going to keep. We all know what you're doing and we won't veto it. Just don't want to set a precedent--esp. with an easy fix.

PD, we can do it manualy perhaps if SJ is not around. We already know he wants it dont.
TB, you need to delete your original post of your keepers. Also, only 16 people have posted their keeps. We're not going to be too strict on posting htem in this forum but we want everyone to post them. However, CBS will wipe sometime at or after midnight and obviously you need to have your keepers marked before then. If you've made trades, you had better marked your new keepers at CBS as well as reposted your keeps in our keeper thread for history purposes. Also, not all of us have access to CBS from work and people are going to be using our keeper thread and drafted players to draft.

This is hard for us. Wish that CBS let us wipe these guys ourselves. We could make everyone drop their own, but then everyone wants to wait until the last second to post. We can evaluate this and determine what we will do for next year. But that did save PD a player for instance, just easier to me with a firm time so we can move on to the draft.

This keeper thing was a pain in the ass. There is a thing where we an change it from managers check to commish and we can clear them ourselves. Or we can go back to the old way of you drop your own. Either way, it's imperative that each manager makes enough time to double check who they have kept and to make the posts as we asked. It's our fault as well as first there were no posting then there was again. But, still we gave plenty of notice so we're disappointed. Anyhow, moving forward, we need to get Dan and one other, Turley's Cards perhaps--I'll have to double check to post their keeps and see if anyone else can remember who they dropped if they didn't post them.
I saw that SW only kept 8 right before the non-keeper wipe, but didn't see him on AIM and knew he wouldn't make it even if I emailed him, so he is short a player. Perhaps it was intentional. Luckily PD was on when I saw that he only kept 8 initially so he could fix it.
The main thing, what we were trying to avoid was people putting off announcing their keepers until the last minute and then something coming up and then the commishs would have had to pick theirs for them. Every year at least one person misses the deadline. At least we were able to be proactive and continue to email these people until they had boxes checked. It doesn't take that much time to look in on the league and your team and I'll admit that it gets frustrating for us when we have to continuously repeat things and hold some people's hands, but would rather do that than to have a team's whole team wiped out and have to figure out what to do then.
Moving forward, Cards and I will prepare today for the draft. Obviously you may continue to trade up until the deadline. We have to go through some settings and re-order the draft to account for the recent draft pick trades and get the draft set up. As soon as the draft room opens the first manager will be on the clock immediately. We plan to have that done somewhere around Noon ET and we will email the first three managers when we are about ready to open in. I will also prepare the cumulative clock chart. We're starting a bit later this year since we got almost a whole round in by this time last year. I also need to find some time to START preparing for my own draft and figuring out what I need. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who worked with us to get this going and for all of your kind words and suggestions via email about the desire for a Keeper thread, etc. Makes it a lot easier when most of the 24 managers really do their part to make the whole league better. Also want to thank all the people I have been dealing with as far as trades go. Had a good time with the back and forths.

Just to clarify, You may trade all year long except from the trading deadline through the end of the championships. The Keeper deadline has no bearing on trading except for the fact your team from which you may trade from is obviously smaller.

my situation:
Ref alerted me last week to go onto the cbs site and declare keepers. So I went ahead and quickly picked keepers, as I picked my 9. I saw something on the site, in the yellow box above my lineup that said that you needed to pick 8 keepers to have an active lineup. At the point I just picked 8 keepers and let everything stand.
I declared on the site but wasn't around that much and forogt to post in the keeper thread on rg. Only today I realized that I should have picked 9 keepers because I haven't participated in draft pick trades because I was satisfied with my drafting position.
I wanted 9 keepers all along is what I'm trying to say, I guess.
I declared the 8 that are already on the site and the 9th with a star in the declaration thread. When I quickly declared my keepers, I just kept Paul Edinger assuming he was still on Minnesota. That's not the case anymore, so I have declared my other kicker as my final keeper if this is allowed.

Re:#82, I was just wanting to make sure we didn't miss anything and that everything is right. I know there have been a few picks that weren't listed correctly so I just want to verify them all again. I'll do it when I put the new chart together. Hopefully I can get to it later on today.

ID: 539581218 Tue, Aug 22, 2006, 14:40
I've been talking to sw and Cards and here is our thinking. We will not allow him to change Edinger as a Keeper since it is past the deadline. To do that would be to allow everyone in the league to change a current keeper.
I think what messed with sw's mind was teh yellow warning flag addressed that he may only have 8 ACTIVE players in his lineup--has nothing to do with Keepers. Wish he would have asked. I try to pride myself in being firm but fair and Cards has the same ideals which is probably another reason we work so well together. Like last night when we knew what PD and Skinneej wanted to do and agreed to it but the site didn't get the trade to us until technically after the deadline. Bid deal, it had nothing to do with Keepers really. Same for giving PD a heads-up on his 8 Keepers to get them to 9. Would have done the same thing with SW if he was around. So Cards and I feel we should allow sw to re-add Bryant as his 9th Keeper. If there are any objections, please speak up now and tell us why. Will check back in here later to see your comments.

OK all, A real quick idea of what is up. My new cardiologist did a stress test a week ago yesterday. He said it is hard to tell what he is seeing, but doesn't like it. Looks like part of the heart is getting no blood. I go in for an angiagram and whatever is required on Fri. Hopefully if all goes well, will be back sometime Fri nite. Will leave a long queue with somebody. If things look any different later in the week, will try to find somebody to complete the draft.
Dang, I'm becoming a hazard to drafts this year.
Will figure it out one way or another. Doing all the workups for surgery now.
And of course, my brains are mush once again.
And, when do we start the draft????

Have had many inquiries about when the draft starts. Rememebr to look on CBS commish msg and ticker for notices as well as this thread...But just to make sure everyone is aware...
Draft will begin around Noon ET tomorrow (Thursday) August 24th.
We say around because it will officially start when we open the room and we will give a heads up to the first three drafters as we get ready to launch the draft thread. Once the draft thread is open we will need another post or two until it is ready for drafting.

I'll be ready to make the first pick whenever the thread is available. While there will be no surprise at #1, and I have a pretty good idea who the 2nd and 3rd picks are, my 1.05 pick may be available depending on who the fourth pick is.
If I trade 1.05 it would be for a Top 15 Starting QB or to move down a few spots in 1st round for other considerations. Those could include a player or draft pick combinations. E-mail me at this addy with any offers.
