Yeah I like your idea better, less confusion this way. Our draft would finish in 25 days if 2 hour deadline is used, that is pretty reasonable.

hey guys, i think 2 is too little.  Me personally, i have work 10-7 tonight, no way could i keep up with it.  then i'm relegated to proxy picking?!  Rules are as they are, we shouldn't go changing them for this draft.  next year maybe

I have the 12th pick, and I would like to post it at 11:09 am.  That is exactly 16 hours after the 9th pick was posted last night.  Any objections?

Proposal: each team has 1 hour to make a pick. Teams that miss their picks get a player from BA's list. These teams will also have the option of changing the auto picked player provided the new player has not been taken by another team.

I like that idea with a larger window.  The reason I like this is that even submitted proxy lists aren't perfect because the commissioner can't be here 24/7.

One thing I like about having the draft this late is that it forces some teams to give up the free agency rights of some players.  Consider it the antidote to contract extensions for a vibrant off-season free agency.

Not really fair, because the 11th team deserves his full time window which only starts running after the 10th pick is actually made (which just happened).  We can't just assume the next player on the BA list is the auto-pick, since perhaps the owner sent a proxy list and neither he nor Colby were available to post it - we can't really blame that on anyone, and it's not fair for the owner to suffer for it.

24/7 no, but you could chose to work with other members of the board to post picks if you know they will be available (ie: is Dan still helping out as commish?)

Good idea.  I would like to form this group right now.  This group should CC each other on all draft related PMs.  Based on activity, I am selecting myself, Dan, Jake, Ben, Roy, and Howe... 20% of the league.  It should be up to us to communicate who is up next and make the auto-pick or proxy pick if the GM has surpassed the 8 hour time limit or given a pre-ranking of the next picks, respectively.  This should get us to 3+ picks per day.

Sorry, I was unable to access a computer.
With our 3rd pick of the 1st round, the Marlins would like to select Zack Cox, 3b, Arkansas. Thanks!

Cox has a 3.5mil signing bonus plus the .5mil prospect salary which brings it up to a grand total of 4mil. The Marlins only have 3.5mil free, so is this a valid pick if you exceed your salary cap?
