One reason why I signed on for this league is because I knew there wasn't a time schedule. With my work schedule and NOT being able to access WIS through work this way works best for me. I don't care if it takes twice as long as it should. I'm not in any hurry. Now if I could only get a guy like Pete Alexander or Rogers Hornsby.
I have no problem with that. I am retired and have all the time in the world. But, other owners may not be as patient. I am worried that unless we all make an effort to move this draft along other owners will drop out. Then we will be in big trouble.
So far there have been few surprises in who other owners are going to pick. I have been pretty successful in guessing who other owners have picked. At worst I have been able to narrow it down to two or three possibilities. To be safe if you think your pick may come up while you are unavailable leave a proxy with me. Just three or four players. I can make most picks. I live on the West Coast so 9:00 or 9:30 am are as early as I can pick.
For example. I knew when pg99 picked Hardie Henderson the next two picks would be Rickey and Hornsby. I then figured the next pick would be Ryan Howard,Roy Hallady or Rich Hardin. If I were making grayfox pick my proxy would be Ryan Braun, Roy Campanella or Rich Gossage. If cstohmier picked Richard Hidalgo I would have been screwed (again).
