Rickey Henderson
New York Yankees

bad for my ideal roster, good for actually making it under the salary cap.

Every single plan I had has backfired in this draft. Keepers, and draft picks. Its gonna be a long year.

"Work, being on line all the time" give me a break we all have jobs......I think. Slacker was not directed at you. That was more so directed toward the lackadaisical attitude that some owners take with their expedience regarding reporting keepers. But to give in to folks who respond at 2:43 am and don't have to pick till 7:00 pm that he/she doesn't have enough time to make a pick ...... like I said before ...give me a break.

Well that would be me. I am now at work and will be for the next 12 hours, and very busy. My only access is my cell phone and while I can type out a quick message, doing roster research is not feasible.

Sin is trying to accommodate everyone and as someone who has tried to run a less complicated league it's not easy to do.

In military training there's a saying "Hurry up and Wait". In this theme it's the opposite, "Wait and Hurry Up". Yes we need a little prep time, but don't need to wait four days and then rush rush rush through the draft. We could draft sooner and at a slower pace. Weekends could have a slow draft just to keep things moving. Some people are busy during the weekend, and apparently some people are busy during the workweek too.If people know when their time slot is they can make arrangements or send a proxy. Things would be different if untimed drafts worked better. At times when I'm extremely busy I don't join draft leagues.

that's an observation not a criticism. Glad you're running this league, sin.

IMO this league runs smoothly.............
TY sin!

I will be picking shortly............. and SM afterwords. :-)

My 4th season in this league. I love the league. Thx for hosting it Sin. The drafts get more interesting (at least have for me) each season you participate. IMO, this draft has gone way different from the previous 3. Makes it very fun!! Sorry for the long-winded preamble.........

Mt. Nebo II (Pirates) select (RP) Craig Kimbrel (Braves)

Rockies take JR Richard, Astros

Had my rant had my rave. Didn't say I didn't like the league or the commish.Anybody that has played WIS for some time and has played in many leagues run buy many diverse owners knows that Rule V is a very forgivingly run league. And that's fine. Their are 23 other players and you can't please everyone all the time.With the leeway thats allready given in this league I just felt the commish shouldn't feel like he has to bend his rule and change reasonable draft schedules because of the inconvenience of a couple of other owners, that's life, thats the way it goes suck it up buttercup. Anyway enough said. I'm still here. Stay calm and draft on.

Hear hear! Stay calm and draft on............... gonna try and remember that one........... and (likely) steal it.
To be clear........ any comment I made here was not (directly) referencing you at all DD. Just my own observation lately.
Folks are generally touchy for some reason........... must be that daggone climate change............ PLEASE......... just a silly joke!
