EWB Fantasy Baseball Draft Discussion

[thatshortguy]

I'm going to give the team ahead of me another 24 hours to announce a pick, due to the board outage. Seems the right thing to do.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Would we want to consider moving to 12 hours for later rounds?

I'm not against it, though my work schedule would likely necessitate me throwing sahyder my list of desired picks.

Yeah, I don't know that I'd be able to make those deadlines all the time either, I just think it would speed the process along a bit.

We need to do something. There is no way we come anywhere near finishing at this rate

[Cactus Drags]

To be honest, I'll make my first couple of picks then probably just go off of Yahoo's rankings anyway.

[gunnar hendershow]

Even with 12 hours we're not going to get anywhere near the amount of picks done that we need for a good fantasy baseball league. I'm not sure what the best solution is.

[bill_da_bill]

I say we get as many rounds in as we can and than finish the draft in a draft room. Sahyder should be able to just enter the guys we already have in as keepers for our teams.

You do realize it's been your pick since the board went back up, right?

[sahyder1]

I think we can proceed as we are until about 10 days to go to the season. At that point lets do at least a round a day via e-mail Everyone sends me a list based on where they pick in that day's round? Leave last couple of days to use waivers to fill out rosters.

Thoughts?

[gunnar hendershow]

I guess. If you're willing to create that work for yourself. Why don't we all send you lists of 28 players? That way we can knock off 2 rounds that way.

I was totally expecting pre-emptive PMs!

That'll work too. That is the downside of a board draft and the board being down for a couple of days didn't help matters.

[9 to 5]

People really need to get their arses in gear.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Great pick, Bill. Was really starting to think he might drop to me.

[bill_da_bill]

Yeah, with my pick coming up I was pretty excited that I was getting either Longo or Gonzalez. I preferred Gonzalez slightly, but would've been more than happy with either.

[Guest mr. potato head]

I was going to send sahyder a list but his PM inbox is full

[sahyder1]

You should be good now.

[thatshortguy]

Are we aiming to fill every spot or just a set number of rounds? Trying to finalize a list to ship to sahyder and I need to know just how far we're going on this draft.

We'll try getting as many rounds in as possible for next week using current format. Will use e-mail lists to speed up after that.
