So it looks like the draft is scheduled for 5 instead of 7? Can we move it back to 7 as that's what was voted on?
It's supposed to be 7. I think he put the wrong time in. 5 doesn't really work for me either. Paging catamaran!
I think this is an easy mistake to make. Everything on that site is eastern time so if you put in 7:00 eastern it turns into 5:00 mountain.

The league site say the draft is at 7:00.....eastern.

But he had it set for 9a.m. the first time... I smell collusion! ;)


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Well unless he signs on in the next hour or so, it looks like we're drafting at 5:15.

Yeah. Stupid fingers.
Got accepted again but I think it needs to be pushed through before the draft.

Funny looking back at some of the keepers from a few years back. :shock:

Only four years ago. And looking back, I somehow won the league that year with those two keepers. Things change very very quickly, especially with pitchers! I've stopped even considering them as keepers unless I have a no-brainer guy like Kershaw.

Agreed. I shouldn't have even kept anyone at all this year. Would've been better off.
I feel good about my team but I'm hoping Freeman goes off.

Are we continuing with keepers this year, or is this a total redraft year?

I thought we were continuing. It sounded like complete redrafts would happen if there was done some significant turnover in owners.

Is there a way to snake the first 4 rounds? I know it's a 4 player keeper league, but I'm still unclear why the snake doesn't start until round 5. Is that standard for keeper leagues?

That is the standard for keepers.....it doesn't make any sense for to the computer to snake when everyone is picking their own players....on average.
