Okay, the draft order has been set for the $375 Slow Draft League 1. Registration will open in the next day or two and links to the Draft Room will follow shortly after that. We should be drafting sometime in the next week. Look for more details and updates on all of that soon.

Here is the draft order:

$375 Slow Draft League 1:
1. Robert Zidonik
2. Gaetan Lavoie
3. Dave Potts
4. Richard DiMondo
5. Alan Greenberg
6. Rick Thomas
7. George Taylor
8. Emory Upchurch
9. Michael Lins
10. Max Ogden
11. KJ Duke
12. Roger Martin
13. Mike Massotto
14. George Kleemann
15. Ted Cohan

Good luck all.

For the most part, KDS worked well here. The last three owners picked randomly didn't get their most favored spots, but that happens sometimes. We still had 5 owners get their first preference, which is amazing. Here's the data for this league:

** 5 owners got their No. 1 preference and two owners got their second preference.

** The average KDS preference received was 4.40, which means on average every owner got their fourth or fifth preference.

** Those not receiving their first or second preference got their 4th (3 owners), 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 13th.

I'll add the 15 KDS listings next.

Agree Rich, that discussion between Pujols or Hanley for # 1 did get a little long winded last year , but on the other side now I have to wait until the #10 spot to see if David Wright is even there for me or not?!?! I mean they did move in the fences and all!

Did i actually say i would take Hansley then go Pujols hehe
David Wright may be there when i draft 2nd or even 3rd round this yr & i wont be taking him even then..LOL
Looking foward to drafting soon & hoping we have good group making picks in a timely manner.
Will be fun

I have drafted with most of these guys and they are all pretty good drafters! I thought we might be drafting by Friday, but sounds like it might be a few more days

Im ok whenever we start drafting. Ill do 1 more of these before primetime draft before season.
Helps me get through the winter.
Long live the MLB!!!

Agree, but I would like to get going asap! I am just itching to see how the first 4 or 5 rounds go and to get back into draft shape. I am doing at least 2 - 375 Slows and the 1 - 1000 Slow before my Keeper League and Main Event drafts. Not sure were your from, but they do really help me get through the winter here in Wisconsin!

Here were the KDS preferences for this league:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
5,4,3,6,7,8,9,1,2,10,11,12,13,14,15
8,9,10,11,12,13,15,14,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
3,4,5,6,7,8,14,15,9,10,2,1,11,12,13
5,4,3,2,1,8,7,6,9,11,14,13,12,10,15
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
5,4,3,11,10,12,9,13,8,14,7,15,6,2,1
1,2,3,4,5,6,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,2,1,10,11,12,13,14,15
5,4,3,2,1,6,7,8,9,10,15,14,13,12,11
10,9,11,1,2,3,8,4,15,14,13,12,5,6,7
1,2,3,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,4,5,8,7,6
3,2,1,15,14,13,12,11,10,4,5,9,8,7,6
1,15,2,14,3,13,12,11,4,10,5,6,7,8,9

Let's see now...two slow drafts, and twice stuck with drafting in the 13 hole. "Lucky" me! I must be the one owner who did not come close to getting one of his top KDS preferences. At least I won't need too spend too much time working on draft strategies. Geez! Hope this means that I am destined to nail all my top KDS slots for the big events. Either that or I am surely cursed the rest of the way!
