MLB 1977 Player Draft

[da55bums]

I don't like making picks for someone. I think they are either skipped or we find a new owner. When you have people in the draft picking for someone they will never pick the players they want which IMO messes things up.

I think if a person misses 2 consecutive picks, he can't bitch about the players he gets. It wouldn't be that easy just to "find a new owner" in a few hours.

While I agree they shouldnt have a right to complain I still dont like picking for people because as I said people are only going to pick players for that team they don't want for themselves.

I agree. I think if someone misses two rounds - we all complete the next round, then go and backfill their roster. We should have a separate backfill thread to vote of who to add...

As I recall, it took fover jsut to get half of us into this league (including myself)... I doubt anyone would join halfway through...

Well, if we all vote on what is fair, it should be ok. In my above post, I said, we should all complete the next round, then go an back-fill their roster.

So (for example), then be getting our version of a 8th rounder for their 5th round pick, etc...

We have done it that way in the past. I've found people would rather be skipped and pick for themselves when they show up than have players picked for them. Again, thankfully this isn't something that's happened very often.

Well, for someone in the position that I'm in, it really doesn't take much to miss 2 picks....

I did say a committee of 3, that prevents against that...its worked plenty of time in many fantasy drafts for us just fine for guys who couldn't get out of work or had functions with the family they couldn't get out of.


heck, I have come close to missing 2 picks already too if your on the close end so maybe 4 picks? some number should work...just have something in place for future drafts.


It lets everyone know what will happen including the one's who are waiting to make picks...keeps everyone calm.
