Draft Discussion

[Jss0062]

both picks traded traded for this year's draft about six months apart, it wasn't caught until we set up this year's draft.  Instead of invalidating an older trade the Rays just lost next year's 3rd.

This league has the worst run draft on the entire website. No one gets emails telling them it's their turn and that is directly reflected by how many teams are skipped in the draft every single round.

It's a travesty and a shame, and it happens every single year in this league. It's pathetic.

Why do we allow this to continue to happen?   It's aweful. It's the worst on the entire ProFSL website by far.

I wonder why? Same people running the draft every yeart? YUP!!!!!!!!!

This is the worst run draft on the entire website.  There's minimul communication, at best, and it seems like everything is done to give the few an edge.

Instead of skipping picks, how about sending out emails telling people it's their pick?

Too lazy to do so. Every other league does this, but not this one! Oh Hell no, that's too much work!

What a bunch of F'ing B.S..

You are free to send out the PMs if you would like. The select few you speak of are the ones that pay attention or have notifications turned on for the thread.

You are more than welcome to be the draft coordinator.

I understand people have lives but I do agree that something next year needs to change. I can see if u miss around that's fine but its the same people missing in every round. What I suggest is if they don't  make there pick then they should be put on auto draft and giving the best available player at that time.And be told that if they want to get off auto draft they need show up for the draft. This way the draft will keep going because the way its going were be lucky if draft is done by beggining of season

It will speed up when the clock speeds up. There is no way an active owner will be placed on autopick. The overall goal of the league is to emulate MLB as closely as possible if a pick doesn't get in on time the team is skipped and can make their pick at anytime. If a team doesn't make up their pick in this league it pretty much equates to failing to sign a pick in the actual draft.

Come on man. . .its not the guys running the draft.   
Its all of us playing in this great league for free who are not emailing each other. 

Thanks for all of the time and work u guys put in make this league what it is!

The only people that should be sending emails, in my opinion is whoever is making their own pick and doing so at the time their pick is made. That person sends one email to the next person up.  No need for mass emails and no need for the commishes/mods to have another task to do.

Just my opinion.

I agree I blame the owners who don't check in and see who is up drafting. Its not like it takes for ever to check. I didnt realise the comisioner and the other owners who are helping out have baby sit owners and tell them when its there turn. When I joined the league I thought it would be easy and fast when doing the draft but people don't care to check in. The way I see it it benefits the owners that are showing up because they are getting the top players in the draft. Think about why do u all think I acquired all the draft picks I'm going to make my minors better this year instead of  taking 2 to 3 years to do it.
