I think it's fluff thay you can't pick your team and your 5 keepers.Practicaly every owner has had many teams over and over and been around long enough to know the core 5 for every team. Pick a team it takes 2 minutes to decide your keepers and 1 minute to send off a site mail to the commish.Easy peasy.
This isn't true. This is my 5th season in Rule V and when I picked the Mets I had some guesses as to who the best 5 I should take were, but I wanted to do a search at pretty much every position to figure out what my needs were and how to plan out my draft / keepers. I really would have guessed wrong if I hadn't done that, and given that the keepers and draft are like 90-95% of your skill-based input to the process I want to be able to do that. I try to when I pick my team, but I a) Don't want to hold up the franchise draft and b) Can't always be at a computer when the time comes up when I have a job.
Maybe the solution is for people to chill out and be patient adults because they understand that the process is going to take a couple of freaking days.
I think it's fluff that if you've had "many teams over and over" that you don't understand that people can't always be available to play imaginary baseball the precise instant you want them to be.
