When I was researching this draft I assigned every franchise a grade - a score between 1-100. Most are in increments of 5. When we're done I will post the rankings for everyone's 3 teams. But that huge Boston Braves pick puts sgsmith at the top of the leaderboard so far.

While I love the time/energy and brains required to do this, I do have a 'quibble';

I think the 'score' would depend on the round taken...The Yankees have a 'value' when you only get to take 5...They would have a MUCH higher value had they lasted til the 2nd round and you could have taken 10...

My Colonels have much more 'value' as a 1st rd pick where I only need to take 5 players...They would have a lower value if I had to take 10...

Not sure I presented that very well, but I know what I'm trying to say...

I assure you that my methods were not that scientific. I just spent maybe an hour looking at each team's top few players and pitchers.

Teams like the Yankees that were sure to go in round 1 were basically rated on their top 5s. Teams that were definitely going to be picked late were rated on their depth. Teams in the middle are sort of a hybrid of star power and depth. I gave some points for scarce positions - most franchises can probably scare up a corner OF and a 4th starter.

It really started out just as a cheat sheet for myself :)

It would be really nice if we could get back to picking. 

Unfortunately, doctorkz can pick as late as tomorrow morning and still be "on time."

Sorry guys. I don't think it's fair to change the timeslots now. I didn't anticipate how well things would move over the weekend when I set the timeslots. Only 22 hours to go.

Doctorkz hasn't posted on his King of Comedy thread in the classifieds since May-3.

He did select the Pirates on May 5th, though.

jfranco77, has Doctorkz checked any of your recent site-mails?

No he hasn't. I hope he's OK. 

I guess if his pick comes up and he hasn't made it, I'll pick for him (or nominate someone else to do it) just in case we have to replace him.

One idea may be to give him whatever remaining team is highest ranked on your list at the time

I like that idea ybj.

I disagree.  The team you give him should mesh well with the first team he selected.

My two cents:  I think if someone misses a pick, he should be skipped (see the Ravens at this year's NFL draft).  He would then be able to make his pick at any time thereafter.

unfortunately i didn't make any contingencies for someone disappearing halfway through, since it's only 3 rounds. hopefully doc is OK and he'll make his pick.

otherwise i'll give him the highest team on my list in the morning. if he is really gone and not coming back, we will need to fill his spot, and giving his potential replacement the 71st and 72nd best teams won't make them too attractive.
