Here's my pick when it comes to me. Cubs select P Tom Ploebus

that should be Phoebus

not sure wheree my pick lies but ill be gone again so Boston selects Bobby Bolin

Good morning Still waiting on ooooohdoggie I have a proxy for the Mets but I'll give him a little time in case he changes his mind In the mean time I posted Cubs and Red Sox picks because they weren't eligible for anyone who picks before them.

I know we are all getting tired of this draft but maybe the pace will pick up soon-LL

Larry, no one can draft my proxy either, so you can post him if you want... maybe a few selections will loosen this thing up this morning and get it moving!

via proxy the New York Mets select ss Ted Martinez

Right you are ennam and posted Another 30 minuite wait for ooooohdoggie and then bjcole26 goes on the clock

OK.. I have waited as long as i can.. I will select OF Rick Reicharldt

Sorry dn That pick won't become official until 11 est

although in an effort to speed up this draft without breaking any rules If the player you want in round 15 cannot be selected by anyone elese you may go ahead and post or sitemail so you don't have to keep checking in, If your player can be selected by someone you'll have to wait until your slot

I am working on another way to hopefully drastically speed up this draft without breaking any rules but I'm not ready yet

Thanks Larry.. Here is a few suggestions.. If you have an exclusive guy that you taking for sure, maybe we can post those now. Example.. I am taking Cookie Rojas for sure in round 17... Next, my round 16 pick can not be taken by anyone right now before my next pick, so i could realistically tell you right now.. In giving you my pick, it does allow an advanatage to the teams picking now if we have a mutual player and they are concerned i was going to pick them but that would be my fault. Just my thoughts.

As for your first suggestion that is what I am getting ready to do I'm just not ready for all the posing yet as for your second suggestion we are going to do that 1 round at a time so when we finish round 15 We will then start taking picks for round 16 In the mean time hopefully ooooohdoggie will check in soon and we can get back on the road

Yes If you have an exclusive up through round 19 that you know you want to excercise the option on sitemail it to me and I will post

exclusives continue to be exclusive unless you do not lelect them in the appointed round even when the draft opens up in round 22 exclusives are only eligible for their club until there selected round expires

However you must select the before or during the appointed round if you have 4 exclusives for round 22 you can obviously only select 1 in round 22 so if you don't select the others before then at the time of your pick they become eligible to anyone or if at the end of round 25 they go to the waiver wire available to anyone
