excellent pick I was hoping against hope he would last until 16

Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but just looking at Round 1 so far gets me excited to play this era. I've never played a 60s progressive before - and it predates my involvement as a fan by a generation - but what incredible names....

I'm excited for this draft to continue. I can't wait to make my 2nd round pick.

Orlando Cepeda, 1B.

If/when jeff4noles goes, can he select 2 players and then I can claim my second round pick? (granted all picks must be made before then)
I ask because I am woefully unprepared past the 1st 2 rounds and I need to "master" a gameplan?
Yes, master is in quotes.....

Yes, as long as no picks have been skipped, we can continue right into round 2 and beyond.

I have had many teams in WIS but never this guy,surprised he is still here,starting round 2 with Mickey Mantle. Sitemailed

OK - an exciting round 1 in the books. As long as we stay ahead of schedule, please continue to site mail the next 3 owners, so we can keep up the pace. Sitemails are NOT required, because owners are expected to keep up with what's going on, but they are a nice courtesy that can certainly help us keep movin.

Ditto, my passion begins in the early-mid 70's with the Phillies. I am stoked to learn about the mid level players and thier accomplishments as well.

Yeah,I agree my two favorite decades were the 50's and 60's.With the infusion of Black and Latino players we see some of the greatest players to ever play in MLB.I turned 10 years old in 61, so that's when I first started to follow baseball seriously.

I've sent the commish and fire 13: Kev 780 my proxy picks for the 11:00EST slot.
