my idea on a live draft would be splitting it into 2 days. HAlf one day, half another



I'm gonna be honest. I just don't have the ability to free up large chunks of time like that, especially at night.

True

There is just no skill involved giving people a month or even a week to prepare and then giving them all the time in the world to pick. I signed up under the assumption this was an experts league and now everyone all of a sudden doesn't know how to draft a team

If i were single, I would be all about doing it like that. It's just not feasible in a league this size with a wide variety of lifestyles.

Do you want me to post another poll for a March 2nd start?

Not one person picked the "later than 2/2" option.

honestly i feel like researching in real time(like when my pick is up) is better then coming up with a strategy for the whole draft a week beforehand.

No one knows how this is gonna go. There are prospect happy people that will take guys way too early. There are guys who will take veterans. There will be people who will go pitching. You really don't know until it happens. Trying to come up with something beforehand is almost pointless.

Ron, correct me if I'm wrong, has a league member with children ever won TDBL or rw3r?

Maybe these super dads need to join Pels talk to hone their craft

I'm just curious what is the downside to waiting a week?

Didn't TBM throw a hissy fit about drafting on a softball game night? I find this whole thing quite ironic.

I like to read a shite ton of websites for projections and rankings, etc. I've done none of that yet, due to work the past few weeks, and setting up the league the past few days.

We've drafted on softball nights before actually. Honestly gyne and I have prob been the 2 easiest members to nail down a draft date.

Hey barry, let's wait a week bud. The league has spoken. Props to redd and his integrity

My strategy of already being up to speed on all things MLB and MiLB becomes useless now that everyone can do their homework
