I do understand, if I was around all weekend, I would have set up the times a bit better, but just getting back onto the comp this morning, I wanted to make sure we had a chance to finish this today or tomorrow. All in all, I can't please the masses, but have tried my best to do just that.

I'd like to say again that it's just bad form to set draft times starting in just an hour. you have to give people more time for a schedule than that

also, toronto is not in your division.

That's right, as the farthest west team potentially in the AL East, they were moved to the central. Good catch, holleybard.

I don't think there was sufficient time given betwen the posting of the schedule and the start of draft times with only 30 minute slots. i'm here not and am going to make my pick.

That's only an hour and a half. it was acutally less than that since you posted it at 10:36AM Eastern.

Ahh, the rare Todd Frohwirth sighting. This shy bird normally stays nestled in the comfy confines of Camden Yards and is typically not seen out in the wilds of the Rule V draft.

Toronto got moved? well I'll be damned. -10 points reading comprehension for me.

with Frohwirth getting (somewhat surprisingly) drafted, I think I made the right choice despite my misinformed reasons.

The other three of us in the AL Central (me, marlowe, moneymen) appreciate your pick, newarkwilder.

and regarding the draft times, obviously it wasn't an issue for me, but in general I think there should be say, 8 hours advance warning for timed assignments. maybe that seems excessive, but a lot of people go several hours at a time without logging on, and you really need to give sufficient advance warning before potentially skipping someone in a draft.

what can I say, I'm a philanthropist.

Cardinals select Trevor Hoffman from the Padres.

Love the reference, llcoach, but the Reds drafted Mr. Hells Bells last round.

Whoops! Was trying to draft quickly. Be right back.
