So many needs, and just one pick.  The Padres select Rafael Furcal - LAD

Robin doesn't check in too often. I hope he does before Monday.

Yep, in each of the first two rounds, it took Robin over 8 hours from the previous pick to draft his player.  He's lucky the guys before him drafted early.  Because if they instead waited for the schdule to start, Robin would get skipped and he'd miss out on alot of players.

Glad this is only a 3-round draft and not a 25-round draft.

We've traditionally not had timed drafts on the weekends, going back at least to when Doc was running things. We can discuss changing that up for the next leg, along with revamping the franchise draft order a bit to take playoff performance into consideration. 

Updating page 1 right now...

how about allowing more than 30 minutes between scheduled picks and post the schedule well in advance so no excuse for missing a turn. maybe post the entire 3 round schedule at once. otherwise we sit around for days then rush through a round. people will show up if they know their time but they dont sit on the computer all day waiting.

Damn, had hoped Kuo would fall.  Sin, I don't see a need to time on the weekends.  I thought this draft went pretty smoothly overall.

The only problem with that is that we can't start the next round until all keepers are sent.  So if I post a schedule with all three rounds, we're assuming keepers will be sent in promptly.  Then we might have to push it back anyway.

I know people are out and about, but four picks in two days?   That's just sad.
