I have done 8 slow drafts this year and the shortest was done in 13.5 days. With an 8 hour clock there is zero chance of the draft being done in ten days unless you have something in place to force 5 rounds/day. This is not so. We finished a draft in four days a couple of weeks ago, with an eight h...

It would certainly be great if possible. Would be tempted to do another 1-2 if it works out.

I have done 8 slow drafts this year and the shortest was done in 13.5 days. With an 8 hour clock there is zero chance of the draft being done in ten days unless you have something in place to force 5 rounds/day.

Why do you call it 5 rounds/day when there is only an upper limit? The minimum time would be 10 days, but maximum could still be the same as any other slow draft. Am I missing something here?

No sure how this is an improvement unless drafting more than 5 rounds/day is considered a bad thing

Funny that was the same player brought up when Darvish came over as well. Hate to break the news to you, Irabu did not fail because he was out of shape. Nor did he fail because he was Asian and out of shape. Although if it is convenient for you to paint all players from a specific geographic region ...

That makes perfect sense. Running/being in shape is less important for hitters that actually have to run than it is for an American League pitcher that has to cover first occasionally and bat a few times every year in NL parks. Certainly makes you wonder how CC has thrown 200+ innings each of the la...

Sure, because being able to run a mile figures greatly in pitching success. Probably should make sure he can kick a field goal, dunk a basketball while we are at it. Makes me wonder why more teams have not tapped into the Kenyan and Ethiopian running pool for prospects. Clearly they must be great pi...

I like the attempt to try to push him back in drafts. Although as poorly as Ryu pitched last year after coming into camp out of shape I can certainly see your genuine concern.

Could he be the first player ever to get 100% on HOF voting? no To have the career he had, 17 seasons out of 19 in the playoffs, almost Every post season record, let alone many Yankee team records, 4 World Series wins, maybe 5 this year and most of all, No one has accomplished what he did, consider...

Jeter or Hugh Hefner's life, which do you choose?

Now that is a HOF list.

I am guessing a lot of you did not try to use the new product yet. Since I can only sort catchers, there is no way to list all hitters and using IE I get the same script error message that was appearing two weeks ago. As of now it looks better but is less functional.
