EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Here's an idea I've been kicking around. Instead of slot drafting, we'd do a "Midnight Madness" type of system. Each day we do one round, and each person makes their pick whenever they are online. It has its drawbacks obviously, but it would ensure that things keep moving. The talent pool we draw from is deep enough that it wouldn't cause as many problems as a traditional fantasy draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Hell, I have a low draft pick, and can be on at Midnight, so no complaints from me. I just have visions of 12 people all trying to post their picks at the same time (likely with half a dozen duplicates) while the board stalls, so it might be a little chaotic...

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 In the morning or in the afternoon? Also keep in mind that with the serpentine draft, its IK, Roy, Roy and then IK again. I'd be willing to post them early in the morning. As soon has IK Cool Jew makes his first round pick. If it's ok? I also know the reverse order of the next round.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I guess picking Nolan Ryan based on 5,000+ strike outs and 7 no hitters was a dumb move... (kicks self close to the nuts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 With their first pick, the West Hills Fightin' Hebrews select  The great Sandy Koufax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Awesome pick. Can you imagine if Koufax could have had a modern surgery and extended his career another 10 years? He might have been the greatest ever. Â Oh, and as soon as IK shows up Roy and Al disappear, leaving me again in limbo. Yey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 It'd be funny if Al entered it as J. Robertson and made him hold to this guy as his pick: http://www.baseball-reference.com/r/roberje01.shtml  Now, seriously, where is IK?  (Realises this thread is going to become like a chat long and possibly the longest thread ever).

Styles 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Anyone catch the irony in a team called the "Hebrews" taking Koufax? Whether the guy's a gimmick or not, he made a damn good pick! Â Speaking of which, nogoodnick informed us IK Cool Jew would be on shortly and then edited his post just to say he would have picked Koufax earlier. Hmm???

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 9, 2005 It's too late at night to notice those things... I have my next pick ready, and it will probably be another underwhelming one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Anyone catch the irony in a team called the "Hebrews" taking Koufax?I'm sure his next pick will be a certain fromer Detroit Tiger and then at some point he'll pick Shawn Green. It almost seems like we could get everyone in a chat one night and bust out a few rounds with how many people are hanging around this thread.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Maybe it would be just be easier if Al assinged our non-active players to our roster. We end up picking 3 guys in each round, but that still could take weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
