ok i will try, had trouble signing up before- when is the deadline?
|
|
By:
25% may be an under estimate KJP :)
|
|
By:
Orioles if you need help filling the league count me in.
|
|
By:
Sign up, G.
That'll make it 12 and I'll close the league. |
|
By:
I bow to your greater wisdom but 12 is a very low number. Are you going to make it AL or NL only?
|
|
By:
OK, LEAGUE CLOSED, CHAPS
DRAFT DATE: Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 2:00 PM ET US If this is difficult for anyone, let me know on this thread and we'll try to get a time when everyone can draft. I'll randomise the draft order at the weekend. Try out a couple of mock drafts if you've never drafted, or never MLB drafted on ESPN before - it'll pay dividends! |
|
By:
I know what you mean, Fen, and I had thought of limiting the player pool as you suggest, but 12 is a standard size, even for a mixed league, so we'll keep it deep. The prizes will be deep too.
A bit of fun. |
|
By:
Looking good Orioles, assume 2ET, ie 7pm over here?
|
|
By:
Yes, sorry, I should've made that clear.
|
|
By:
Yeah that sounds fine!
On average how long does the draft take? |
|
By:
Budget for no more than two hours.
|
|
By:
Hey O sorry about this...but ive got to drop out :(
Work is gonna be getting hectic April - June, wont even have enough time for a bet :( |
|
By:
i'm not in this one orioles, just the vet league
|
|
By:
I will be away at the time of the draft but *might* have internet access. If not I will do a solid pre-ranking.
|
|
By:
All messages received and understood.
Are you sure you're happy with that way of drafting, Benrik? |
|
By:
ONE PLACE STILL AVAILABLE
Due to the late withdrawal of our representative from Coventry, a place has come free. Any takers? |
|
By:
ppfffft, cannot standthe heat.
midlands mincer, and now i have to change my team name :( |
|
By:
If no one else wants it I'll take the last spot. I'll send the money for the other leagues as well by the weekend. But if anyone else wants to take it before friday then I'll be prepared to give it up.
|
|
By:
I'm fine with it if that time works well for everyone else. It's the time difference to be honest -- I'm 8 hours behind UK.
|
|
By:
A mate can draft for you, but if you're ok pre-ranking, we'll press on with that date/time.
m666 .... you're in! :) |
|
By:
Im pretty confident I will be able to get online for at least the early rounds of the draft.
|
|
By:
Uncle O, I relsie you are THE ULTIMATE COMMISH and I am merely a skidmark on Prince Fielders 30 day old jock strap but are the settings in this league the ones you are going to use?
ie CI and MI and 74 outfielders? Yours McNabb :) |
|
By:
Yes.
|
|
By:
Message recieved and understood El Capitano B-)
|
|
By:
The setting have been corrected. They were right, but a big boy ruined them, then ran away.
|
|
By:
Paid today.

Loving that pic of me. I thought i had it stashed away under my bed tho :( |
|
By:
Wait until Nilsson sees the draft order! :|
You'll notice I cropped the photo at your waist. It's better for everyone. |

Scant consolation.

|
By:
I love draft weekend. The anticipation, the banter, the "pi$$ing myself laughing at Orioles' draft software". Its amazing.
Im going to try something different in this draft B-) |
|
By:
Need some draft tips for tommorrow anybody want to share their expertise with a rookie?
|

By:
My book, 'Fantasy Baseball Leagues What I Have Winned' gives a very thorough grounding in the game, and basic pointers on drafting. Particular chapters you should concentrate on are;
Ch6 'Drafting Lots of Closers Early' Ch7 'You Don't Need Hitting or Speed' Ch9 'My Favourite Sandwiches at Draft Time' and Ch15 'McNabb Wears Women's Clothes' (illustrated) Seriously though, you've got no chance and you've done your money :) Uncle O Fantasy Comish, GUARANTEED to cash in this league |
|
By:
I look good in a two piece :)
|
|
By:
looking forward to this, cant work out whether 10th pick is good or bad!

thought that was only in auction leagues |
|
By:
Nah, its going widespread now. Uncle O is going to uber rich from this little escapade.
BJ, i have the 11th pick and i feel that if we can work together we will get along swimmingly :p :) I have been studying stats for the last 2 hours. I am in 3 leagues with Orioles and I intend to beat him in all 3 and ridiculule his latest draft software :p. I can feel a challenge coming on! |
|
By:
I have received a reminder that the draft is at 3.00pm ET tomorrow Sunday. Is that 8.00pm in our rather bedraggled little country? I only ask because I thought it was at 7.00pm and we are around the time of springing forward.
I don't want to arrive an hour late and discover I have automatically received a team of decent players when I can pick my own no hopers. |

By:
it is 7PM
