It appears that Schwarze got a little confused when he posted the draft orders for several rounds. In round 3 Toronto was supposed to have the tie-breaker over SF, however he listed San Fran first in the draft order. Nobody caught this mistake until now.
Since Toronto missed an advantage over San Fran in the 3rd round, and in the interests of fair play, I will withdraw my Sosa pick and allow Hagebono to select next. If he wishes to draft Sammy Sosa, then I will pick after he does.
Thanks for the offer. I revisited my team and determined I need more IF help, so Toronto selects Jeff Frye.

Hagebono....The tiebreakers goes to San Fran in the 5th round. You have the tie-breaker in the 6th round. You need to pick another player
On my way out the door to work.  I'll repick when I get there.

I'm curious as to what the tie-breaker even refers to.  I don't see the rule explained anywhere at all on page 1.
I also don't see the tie-breaker explained anywhere, which is what led to my confusion about the order of Bos-Phi picks a couple of rounds ago.  I think Red Sox/Phillies and Giants/Blue Jays were tied in the standings that determined the draft order, so a tie-breaker was required.  To be as even as possible, the  "tie-breaker" was not simply straight switching order each round.

sgsmith explained this correctly.  The tie-breaker was done before the team draft and I listed the order on page 1 (way down near the end of the page).

Sorry about not updating the alpha list.  I'm on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean and internet access is very expensive.  So I am only hopping on for a few minutes per day just to make sure that ther are no major issues to resolve.

C,mon Jeff, where's your priorities?!?  You can always sail around the Mediterranean, but how often do you get a chance to draft only 1994 players?
