why don't we just start drafting until someone decides they want an Astro wild card? I don't think its gonna happen in Rd. 2, but if it does, we can stop the draft until we hear from him.

I would like to give calhoop the courtesy of waiting. There is always one team late to the show. I believe mars and tkcronin are ready to go once his pick is in.

We waited months for this league to fill. A few hours between rounds isn't gonna kill anyone

Agreed. I appreciate the zeal as I am excited as anyone this finally up and running but it is best to wait.

I'm about 95% sure who I'm going to take (as a wildcard) with that first pick of the 2nd round, but I want to see the published list of protected players first before I pull the trigger. I'm going to bed soon. But I usually get on WiS around 6:30 eastern, and check rather regularly throughout the day. So once that list is published, I should be rather quick with my pick.

All protects are in... Second round ready to go.

I hope everybody noticed the following rule:

"For purposes of this league, only Active franchises will be recognized:
***Teams who have played in multiple cities under multiple names are eligible e.g. Baltimore Orioles also played as St Louis Browns. Therefore if you draft Orioles OF you could use any OF who played for the Browns as well.***

I'm going to start things off for Round Two by drafting my Wildcard--

WALTER JOHNSON - Washington Senators

*Sitemail sent to next three up.

I already told the commish but I wanted everyone to know: I will have no internet access from Wednesday to Sunday this coming week. I don't really want to hold up the entire draft on account of me, so I will try to figure out some way (maybe a long proxy list) to help everyone keep things going.

Happy to help with a proxy list if you need. I work from home so I'm usually available to make picks.

Thanks, ozo. We will probably go off the clock after next Thursday out of respect for Easter weekend and people's travel schedules.
