The MLBC-1 draft has come to a close and I have to say it was as much fun as any draft format I've played.



The strategy was intense on every pick as each one afforded numerous options that not only affected categories, production, and position as all drafts do, but also budget and your ability to compete in the various pots as only this draft does. About a third of the league spent big, another third remained budget concious to the end, while the remaining third straddled the fence between the two. We'll see whose strategy works out for the league and MOY prizes, at this point I have no clue .



This was also easily the best chat room of any draft I've taken part. You'd figure any draft that included participants with some of the accomplishments this one had would have interesting strategy, player projection, and skills analysis discussions, and it did. What made it even better is that talk was merely the backdrop to non-stop ballbusting. I laughed from day one of the draft until the finish. About the only thing we all agreed upon is how dominant are the Jets and Mark Sanchez. Great great guys, each and every one, both the ones I've gotten to know previously and the ones I drafted against for the first time. It all added up to great fun.



To top it all off, when have you ever seen a slow draft finish in seven days? Kudos to KJ for the format and for how he ran the draft.



I envy those of you about to start MLBC-2. You're in for a blast.



Glenn We did 45 round in 7 days the last time we played this league.



Did you find keys so you could be involved in the chat in the second one?

Glenn Thanks Glenn, after that buildup MLBC.2 can only disappoint.



I'm looking forward to 3 years from now when Mark Sanchez moves back to socal and is pitching me on a Chevy dealership at 2am in local ad spots inbetween informercials.

Good luck to all with MLBC-2, you're in for a great time.

An extraordinary draft. Kevin outdid himself when it came to this one.

Where else can you find Moustakas, ARod, and Aramis Ramirez drafted consecutively in the 15th round?

When it comes to drafts, this draft is 'Chess' to the other drafts 'Checkers'.



The participants, for the most part, were the cream of the NFBC. Shawn Childs paused in his race with Stephen King for being most prolific writer, to play. KJ, Glennerationx, RoundTrippers, Kentucky Reign, Cobb, headhunters, and John Pausma to name drop a few more.



A college kid who started out extremely slow in drafting, even using the dreaded, "Well, this is a slow draft", line, quickly (except for RT's taste) came around, and drafted in a manner that was appropriate for other drafters. His 'hiccups' became manageable.



During this draft, every participants house was 'googled mapped'. We learned that someone has never bought himself a meal for over $15. We learned that New Yorkers are like Texans in how proud they are of their homeland and sports teams. We learned that somebody has a new years resolution to exercise every day. We learned that Jason Bay can be drafted in the 30th round and become an 'end gamer' to one, more money in the pot for everybody else. A draft where 'Maya' changed from a noun to a verb.



If KJ decides to do a third league or we have to wait till next year, I can only say, do it. The cost to enter can be anywhere from $150 to over $2,000. It is up to you. The format alone, is worth the price of admission, throw in that chat room and a chance to win thousands and it all becomes a chess game on steroids.

A great experience.

A great experience. Well said, Dan. Having a day off in between finishing 1 and the start of 2, i'm already itching to get going again!
