Thanks for setting everything up, Mike. What is the deadline for keepers?

Keepers due March 4th and draft starting March 11th. That gives me one week to setup the draft board and get the rosters out to everyone. If I need a little more time, I may push the March 11th date back a few days. But let's go with those two dates for now.

Looking to begin the draft Tuesday March 11th at 5PM PDT. Three hour draft rule in effect with the usual blackout times of 10PM-5AM PDT.
Currently double checking the keeper list for any contract errors. I will let you know here if there are any revisions.

Scotty Ballgame picks 4th and Roricks Rogues picks fifth determined by online coin flip.

d**n Scotty, always trying to keep the Rogues down. The fifth pick is lucky though, so I'm ok.

Good luck everyone. Remember the three hour rule and blackout periods. Send lists or emails in if you think you may miss your pick and don't want to get skipped, because you will get skipped and don't take it personally if you do. One last editing note, Scotty Ballgame dropped Kris Medlen (15th round) and took an additional two round penalty.

I just emailed Baltimore to let him know he was up with pick 3.11.
He has not picked yet (round 1 and 2 were reserves) and has not logged into the board since March 4. Has anyone been in touch with him since then?

Has anyone else noticed that exact time stamps are only displayed on posts older than 24 hours? Up until then you just get a "# hours" since it was posted, or "about 1 hour"?
It makes it hard to figure out exactly when someone's time limit is going to be up.
Does anyone else think that this new board interface is as awful as I do?

I sent a text to Baltimorean hour ago to let him no he was up. No response as of yet.

He is logged in now so I am waiting, but the post for pick 3.10 is displaying "3 Hours Ago" now, and I am ready to make my pick...

You can get the exact time of a post by hovering the cursor over the "32 minutes ago" text. Yeah, it took me a while to figure that out too. I like the old way better, but that is how you do it.

OK, thanks for finding and pointing that out.

I was going to say, just hover of that and you'll see the exact time stamp. Mike beat me to it. I hated the new board format when I started using it a couple months ago for some other leagues, but you'll get used to it.

6.08 Rogues select Ernesto Fieri P ANA You can have Fieri, as long as you leave Frieri for me. Darn, and I was so close to keeping him for 2 years in the 11 slot (decided to give Matt Adams a go instead). Good pick Bill; much better than taking Ryan Madson (although he is still out there).

Madson is still out there, why didn't someone tell me It looks like at least half the league is on-line right now. We can get a lot of picks in if we can just get Augusta to swing the bat soon.

I'm stepping out for awhile but don't want to hold up the draft if it gets to me while I'm out. If it gets to me and someone is on-line can you text me at 714-330-9389. If you send me the few picks from Augusta to me then I will text you back a pick to input for me. Thanks, Rogues.

Posting here so as to not clutter up the Draft Thread… I want Cueto. I understand I am 2 hours late, so I think it's fair that I am skipped. But I don't think it's fair that 5 picks jump ahead of me if I am only 2 hours late. Doesn't seem right to be subjected to an infinite number of picks jumping you, especially given that I am in regular contact with Bill and check the site at least once a day, sometimes twice. Missing the window happens - some people are online less frequent than others. I am ok with 2 or 3 picks per 3 hour window skipping someone who misses the deadline; 5 picks for being 2 hours late is unacceptable to me. I think if 4 people (1/3 of the league) are ready and waiting to make their picks then the question should be why aren’t you? We were only 5 picks away from you coming up at 4:23 PM PT yesterday/7:23 PM ET (when pick 9.05 was posted), and then down to 2 picks away from you at 7:23 PM PT last night/10:23 PM ET (pick 9.08 posted). And your pick has regularly been coming up first thing in the morning to boot. I have not heard anyone mention that they work nights or odd hours. I don’t think it is too much to ask for everyone to check the board at the end of their day to see when they might come up again, and then make arrangements to check in again the next morning when we are that close to your pick. Your deadline was for 8AM PT this morning but I still got up and checked the board a couple of times before that (5:20; 6:30 AM my time) in case you posted your pick before your deadline. I have been trying to posts my picks as quickly as I can after you because often you will be the person picking after me again, and that way you do not have to wait too long between your picks. If you had managed to post your pick before 8AM ET this morning, then my deadline would have been 8AM PT, and the rules say I only get a 3 hour window even when I have back to back picks. If I miss my window both of my picks would be skipped. Perhaps I have less of a life than some of you, but when you cannot even check in before 1PM your local time you get no sympathy from me. BTW, I am also sure that I read that the draft has to be done sometime March 21 if the opening series in Sydney is to be counted. Yahoo won’t score that for head to head leagues, but they will for roto leagues. Unfortunately I have not been able to find that page on Yahoo despite several searches. Maybe that is not too big of a deal, but it might be for the teams that have the starting pitchers for that series (is Kershaw going for LA? I have not been able to find that info either). At the rate we are going I don’t think there is any way we are going to finish by Friday night.

There is always a commissioner tool that will let you run stats retroactively. If we miss the deadline for those two games, that's what we can do.

Baltimore was skipped. That's the rule. Nothing needs to be resolved. If you can't pick in time then live with the consequences. If you can't live with the consequences (this happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR with Baltimore) then ...
