Arlen reached out and said he'd take the team. We will be on the clock again tomorrow.

Big thanks to Arlen

Is that something we should vote on? Having a player with two teams in the same league is a bit of a conflict, especially when it comes to remaining draft picks.

Should have specified. He said he would hold off on making the picks until after the draft is over and then enter the team. I don't see a conflict of interest, Arlen's no cheat.

If anyone chooses, I can withdraw. What I had in mind is being in the opposite league, plus doing utterly no further drafting with that team until all the other picks have been made, then just cobbling a team together, sort of a fun challenge.

I'm actually a Russian hacker.

And Or, if newarkwilder comes back to the surface in that time... perhaps he could do the same.

I hope things are okay with him. He's a good guy.

That definitely sounds suspicious...

...suspicious if you're a forensic psychiatrist. Okay.

No problem. Russian Hackers are common place in America. We appreciate you taking the team at the last minute. Contrary to the calendar Christmas starts for me this Monday when my kids, grandkids, and I will have our Christmas before they break off too spend the 24th and 25th with the in-laws. Long and short of this is I will be unavailable starting on the 19th so getting the draft done before that is paramount for me. Again thanks for taking the team.

I predict this team will win the world series.

e: and I have no objections.

I'm cool with it. And thanks Arlen for stepping up.

Oops. Der. Of course this team will be in the same league. Sorry. Hm. I could ask anyone to monitory my rotation and just try to keep it and the lineups optimized. Any ideas?

I have an old second account. I could even trade off with others on it, for the rest of the season, share the password.

Ya, I don't know how I feel about this. Obviously it makes things potentially easier for the other 11 teams, but then we potentially have a lame duck team. Or Arlen has 2 shots at making the playoffs.

It's not meant to be a knock at you Arlen - the whole situation just seems a little shady.
