Anything weekend is fine, but the weekdays are a crapshoot.

[Erik Bedard]

Exact opposite for me. Weeknights are fine, weekends not so much.

[JordanDL3891]

I would like to mention that if you want you can draft people that were not in the 1st three rounds (right?) but I belive we will only have three rounds.

[jsmets92]

Yes, but keep in mind that there is a reason the players were drafted when they were.

[JordanDL3891]

yea but for the idioits like me, we might want to draft guys outside of the top 3 lol.

[rockiesfan4ever]

I am available Saturday after 1:00PM CST to around 9:00PM CST and from 9:00-9:00 CST on Sunday

[jsmets92]

We have decided that instead of doing a live draft, it will be easier just to hold it under this thread. It will officially begin in the next couple of days. Keep checking the thread for the official start time. more info to come...

[Erik Bedard]

Should I tell my brother he's OTC right now, or wait until there's an official start date?

[jsmets92]

Should I tell my brother he's OTC right now, or wait until there's an official start date?
you can let him know. We will probably start in the next few days so he should check periodically.

[Erik Bedard]

All right.

[JordanDL3891]

um good thing I stoped by, if you noticed, I haven't been on much this week - the musical at my HS, (Suessical btw, and I'm in stage crew) is this weekend, and I am at the school all day, It's like I live there. So not until next week will time start to free up. the next time I am on BBF - I have no idea! lol

bye for now

- Jordan

(wish me luck!)

[Erik Bedard]

Good luck with your play!

[JordanDL3891]

thanks, it went fine


btw, we will be starting this draft, as a non live draft, but an 8 hour clock (like CPFDL) which will stop every day from 12 am et to 8 am et

though the draft will start, sat morn (at 7 et) the 1st guy up will have until 3pm et of that day, but please make your pics asap.

scroll up to see the players to draft, baseballstar made really nice files for us.

[Erik Bedard]

My brother has been ready to pick for a while. Can he pre-pick?

[JordanDL3891]

yea I guess, we can start the draft now then.

that's up to wilk and baseballstar i guess.

[Erik Bedard]

Wilk's not on here too much lately.

[JordanDL3891]

he replys to the pms I send.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Wilk's very busy trying to build the damn website, which has fallen back much faster than I anticipated.

Do you guys know anyone that can build the site for us? I probably can but it'll take a lot if time if that's ok with you guys.

Knows some HTML and Java

[Erik Bedard]

I'm totally clueless as to computer stuff. Sorry.

[-Kyle-]

I know someone who is a computer engineer (from my Call of Duty 2 playings) but he would be very reluctant to do it. He is super nice sometimes and well...a little rude other times. I could never do a real website...

[jsmets92]

My brother has been ready to pick for a while. Can he pre-pick?
Just have him send me a PM with his selection.
We will start on Friday Night at 8 PM EDT.
We will have a nonstop clock which begins right after the previous owners picks. It will run for 24 hours and at the end, the team will get the next highest pick in the real MLB draft.
GM's are encouraged to make their picks as soon as possible.
If there are any questions, feel free to PM me.
