    Re: Minor League Draft Thread

    Nobody contacted A-Team to let him know he was up until I sent him a PM and e-mail this morning. He said he would make his pick tonight, so I am giving him an extention.

    Please remember to PM the next person on the list after you make your pick.

    Thanks!

    Jordan Schafer, OF ATL

    For the record, Mark contacted me on 4/1.

    I haven't been on the board in over a week. I missed my mL pick in the other draft. Email is the best way to reach me. Thanks for the patience.

    Question: a player is eligible if he's below the AB/IP limit at the start of the draft? Cause if this goes for more than a week, one of my targets might pass the limit

    I guess I should have taken the MLB ready talent instead of the down the road talent.

    Can the next person please pick already. This is getting stupid. It's not that difficult.

    We (and ESPN running it on their bottom line) jinxed him. At least it was Upton who hit the bomb.

    OK...round one is over....all players have been added to your rosters.

    Feel free to activate anyone you want, but you don't get another pick in this draft, and you can't pick up a replacement mL player until the draft is over...
