Draft Discussion

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.

25) Colorado Rockies (via ) - Cody Reed, P
**26) Philadelphia Phillies (via via ) - Mark Zagunis, C

**Extra third round pick traded by Tampa Bay will be deducted from 2015 draft. 

Unless I misunderstood I thought the 2nd pick traded by the Rays, number 26, was for 2015 not this year.

 That was not directed at the mods, who are doing a ton of work =as always.  It was directed at the guys who chose not to send a courtesy email when they made their pick.  1st draft ive been in in 20yrs where this courtesy was not afforded.  I agree that it is not asking much to keep in touch.  My laptop, tablet and phone are open to this page every day.  It never closes.  I got slammed at work one day and suddenly i was skipped.  I have never seen so many teams skipped in one draft.  I certainly would not be rediculous enough to ask anyone to keep track of the draft for me, but found it strange that whoever is making their pick does not emiail the next guy.   
  Anyway,  that was my only point.  That and the fact that i appreciated all the work in keeping up with the draft elligible list. 

Thanks,

There is a running list on the first page of the thread that is updated at the least every other day and most of the time multiple times a day.  Rosters and Fantrax are being updated at this time as well.   Right now a round is taking about 10 days to complete.  You can also turn on notifications for the thread where you will recieve an email when a new post is made since you last viewed it.  I don't think it's too much to ask to check in once a week to be prepared to pick. I'm curious how it is a mockery.

The draft is running fine.  I think next year we should perhaps do a team check before the draft to verify whether there are empty teams.  That way we can set them to autopick right away.  There seem to have been about four or five empty teams this year when the draft began so we can do better in that regard.
