2007 AMATEUR DRAFT DISCUSSION

If it's set for 12 hours, then I say give him the full time. Otherwise change the time frame for picks.

Thought 2nd round was 6 hours. So, how many more hours are left?

[Dave]

I just remembered that Andrew told me he's away hiking today. He didn't want to hold the draft up and he does have a guy queued, but I'm not sure that guy is at a position he wants to fill right now. I don't really feel comfortable making the pick for him, so I'm holding off for now. Hopefully he comes back sooner than later from his hiking trip, makes his pick, and we can make some headway tonight.

thing is we all knew the draft was this weekend. if you're not available, you have to have a contingency plan. Hell, I was out most of the day yesterday but I knew my bro had wifi so I took my laptop with me. even if I hadn't done that, I still had access to the net. at this point everyone knows who they want to pick. we should wait 12 hours for something that takes 5 seconds to do? c'mon. that's what the preferences are for at this point. I wasn't happy with my selection but it damn sure addressed a need in round 1.

Understandable, but you can't really get upset at someone when there's the rules of 12 or 6 hours between picks if he's been 3-4 hours and hasn't picked.

I wasn't around at all yesterday either and just trying to catch up with this thread now and still skipped 5-6 pages of it. I just set my team on auto pick and went with that.

jesus, you guys relax. There is a time limit for a reason. It's the weekend too.

i'm not upset. again, if you're not around, just have a contingency plan.

His time ends at 8:27p according to the utility.... now is a great time for everyone else to get their autos turned on.

No one should worry about anything but loading their queue and, more importantly, TURNING IT ON!!!!

Worst case, 3 hours...

yep. i've got mine loaded. i've got a trade worked out to move up contingent on my guy still being available.

[Guest]

Well, with the long wait, I decided to get on the phone.

Yuma trades SS Julio Smolka, 4.5, 5.3 and their 3rd next year for Portland picks 2.24, 4.22, and 6.24.

That's kinda what I meant. If you give some people 12 hours, some people will take 12 hours. If you give some people four days, some people will take four days. That should be expected.

Can't change the rules in the middle of the game. ;)

[Pat]

Anyone need a young backup SS?

I'm shopping mine.

I wonder if the time is off on the utility, or what the limit is. Kalispo made their pick well before 2:27pm.
