Okay, guys, we're ready to draft.

The draft thread will be in the Theme Owners Forum. For now, we will use one thread for the draft, and one for any trades.

Please, for the inaugural draft, no trading of draft picks. I'm going to be plenty busy (my vacation ends today, and I'll be going back to work. That always sucks :( ).

I will create a random draft order. NO MATTER WHAT, I WILL PICK NO HIGHER THAN FIFTH. The draft will snake (ie, 1-16, 16-1). In order to get the draft done quickly (as some league members will be away), the first FIVE (5) rounds will be single picks, the remaining 10 will be double picks. With 16 owners, there's plenty of talent to go around.

The draft will officially begin Monday. However, once the order is set, we may begin. In the interest of efficiency, please sitemail the next three owners AFTER* you.

Good luck to everyone.

With the first pick of the draft, we're proud to select...

SS - Hanley Ramirez

Theelfpat, you are up. Minnow, did you sitemail hmi, cjnuss7 & moser34 ? Lets get this moving along !!

I did but he hasn't checked it yet.

ok-looks like this draft may take a loooonnngggg time !!

Hanley may be retired before our next pick. I better go look at Baseball America's rankings of the best high school players.

hold

I agree with loudawg10-I think the only way to determine if blakefry is still with us is to have a timed draft. In the meantime we can look for another owner and we can draft for blakefry. it is strange for someone to join a new league and not make a pick-perhaps an internet connection problem or an emergency happened to Blakefry which I hope did not happen.

Huh? Not my pick right now.
