I hear ya ol'timer! All I can say is that MUCH thought and back and forth wrangling has gone into this draft and around the time of DEAL 11 or 12, we decided on this current format as the fairest way to do it and also shorten it a bit. Yes, you do pick last in the final round, but you also picked first in round 18--the first round to go to 2 picks per round.

I know you are just joking around, but I just wanted to let you know that we have done as much as we can to keep things as fair as possible to all....and I am pretty sure we have had winners from almost every portion of the draft, so I think it's working pretty well now.

I was kidding . There are no bad picks, just bad owners.

I use to run 16-team pts style, 162 game schedule leagues for a living. I remember one guy calling me up and complaining he always got double digit picks every draft. Called me up at the end of the season and told me he drafted Sosa and McGwire the year they hit 60+ with the 16/17. lol

I've done a zillion slow drafts in all sports over the years. This time slot thing is the answer. Still don't understand why there was such an issue when the draft got way ahead of schedule. The time slots allow people to plan and know when they should be up, instead of constantly checking.

Good job with all the updates!!

Almost took Hilltop. Just never have the guts to do it. Glad you are also in NL.

Well guys, I done f'd up really good now! Because I picked McGraw, I tried to back out of the league # I had JUST created to make a different pick, AND NOW IT WON'T LET ME BACK IN that league #!!!

I have texted kelly1 but I think I am going to have to create the league all over again now, so I WON'T have the league # in minutes, unless kelly gets back to me and we figure out an easy fix.

MY REPICK WILL BE:

Vicente Romo, RP

Well ok, I REALLY F'd up! What about Jake Diekman? Anyone take HIM???

As soon as I can figure out this cluster F--K that I'm now dealing with, I will repick.

OK, I think I have figured it all out. Now I have checked this over and over again on page one, and unless Jesse is his REAL first name, I am going with:

Noodles Hahn, SP

Now, onto the new LEAGUE NUMBER:

MLB
130135

My team name will be: "The Bigger & Better DEAL"

If anyone can name the movie that name (also referred to as the BBD) came from, I will start my mop-up pitcher against you in our first game or in our first series.

Aaron sanchez

I wasn’t sure where to put this team. Hilltop looked like a good fit offensively but I’ve never used it in this league. I’m not sure what kind of pitching staff will work there...

Tim McCarver C
Johnny Blanchard C
Shibe Park

Dickie Thon
Dee Fondy
Enron Field

We're seriously up against the cap, so just some cheap fillers;

Bobby Estalella

Carlos Correa
