Re: MTM FAST DC #2: Friday 12/15 1:00 P.M. EST Start

Can you remind us of logistics? I.E. where do we sign up, what rules apply? Does Rennie Stennet still qualify at 2B? Thanks.

Re: Rafael Palmeiro

Odd that he would consider coming back when he’d almost certainly be kept to less than 40 HR in the current environment.

Re: Two timeouts

How about going from 4 hours to two hours for the last 15 picks. This would encourage people to utilize auto, if for no other reason as a backup in case they can’t get on in time. In some drafts the last picks take a disproportionately long time.

Re: The Draft Room, Drafts, and Drafters

Dead of night 2-6 AM ET is not dead of night on the west coast. If something like that was implemented I could easily time out on a morning pick, especially in early rounds when auto is not as likely an option. I agree with Todd’s suggestion that auto 2 include two lists so that if I’m on the wheel ...

The chat window scroll doesn't work or work well on an iMac.

I frequently get "too many login attempts" when accessing the message board, even on the first time. So then I have to enter the captcha.

On iPhone unable to list pitchers under available player, the "P" is cut off at the bottom (iPhone 6). Also cannot see the last two teams if I wanted to list their rosters (iPhone 6).

Re: Baseball Trivia

probably too easy for this crowd but just for fun, who was he: he was a major leaguer in baseball, basketball and acting.

..... and continuing the old timer theme, he pitched for the Giants, Reds, Astros and Pirates and was an all-American basketball player

Great post, as usual. Speaking of catchers going to war check out Moe Berg’s biography. .... an American League catcher who was one of the brightest players in baseball, then and now, albeit not the greatest catcher.

NFL Learns from MLB

The NFL is considering a rule that states if on a kickoff the kicker goes to his mouth 4 times then it's an automatic touchback. Saves a lot of time and prevents injuries.
