Okay, here’s how the drafting of Free Agent players is going to go:
 

If your team’s winning percentage is 621 or higher, they get one Free Agent;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 589 and 620, they get two Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 553 and 588, they get three Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is 552 or below, they get four Free Agents.
 

The draft will be started by the team/owner with the lowest winning percentage in each division and wind it’s way up.
 
There is no reason for any of these short drafts to be held up by anyone for any reason (barring emergencies) so I’m instituting a 24-hour rule. Once the draft begins, any owner who takes longer than 24 hours to make a pick can be skipped. Since we’re doing these drafts in “thejuice6’s Theme League Draft Forum”, sending someone a proxy should be a piece of cake. Again, if you can’t make your pick on time, send someone a proxy.

The Teams/Owners involved in this draft are:

2008-2009: Philadelphia Phillies 571 (NBL17)
2008-2009: Chicago Cubs 556 (BIG_DOWG)
2008-2009: Los Angeles Dodgers 552 (MARKEKING)
2008-2009: St. Louis Cardinals 546 (NOCOMM999)

The teams that you have to pick your Free Agents from are:

2008-2009:  Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, Anaheim Angels, Washington Nationals, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays, Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants


The Draft Order:

(01)  NOCOMM999:  Tim Lincecum, 2009, San Francisco Giants
(02)  MARKEKING:  Zack Greinke, 2009, Kansas City Royals

This turns out to be pretty ironic - but since you guys already took Lincecum and Greinke, I have to go with 2008 Toronto Blue Jays SP Roy Halladay

By juice's 24 hour rule - I could make my pick now ahead of BIG_DOWG, but I am going to give him a bit more time.  If he doesn't make a pick by early tomorrow afternoon - I am going to make my pick.

For what its worth, I sitemailed him right after my last pick and he's opened the note (although I don't know when he actually opened it).

Personally, I'd just wait for him. These leagues aren't about to start or anything. But you are right that you are within the rules if you skip him and make your pick.

That is where my mind was as well, but if NOCOMM999 doesn't buy in then he can make a pick at 5:35 today.  If he is OK with waiting, I will certainly do so as well.

I'm in no rush. If you guys want to wait a while longer, that's fine with me.
