Historically weren't the draft orders usually posted about a week before the drafts took place? Just curious because the last satellite I was in only got the draft order posted two days beforehand. Is there any hope for future satellite league draft orders being posted any sooner than two days beforehand or am I being too ambitious with all the "back-end" stuff going on?

Bump.....

Anyone? Bueller...?

I prefer to be surprised.

But isn't it true that anytime we find out we will be surprised at that moment?

Bump....

Sorry guys, I've been delayed getting to this league. We will be running this league on MDC so please email me your KDS preferences no later than 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday. I'll pick the draft order tomorrow afternoon. My email is tkessenich@fanball.com.

We are ready Tom

I feel your pain Craig.



I'm beating the odds!



15, 10, 11, 5, 3, 12, 7,14, 13



Those are my last 9 draft slots including '08, '09, and '10 seasons. The average is 10 with 6 out of the 9 slots being 10 or lower.



I was curious how often a string like this should happen (rather than just gripe about it and spout out my conspiracy theories) and being the "math whiz" that I am *sarcasm* I decided to find out.



I ran the numbers and realized that an average of 10, if we disregard KDS, over the course of 9 consecutive drafts should only happen about 14.7% of the time.



So, if any of you out there are beating me at the "back end of the draft game" then you are definitely bucking the odds.



(To make matters worse the 3rd and 5th drafts slots were used on Reyes and Sizemore last year! Ugh...)

Here Eli, have some cheese with that whine. I thought my wife whined a lot. God Bless your family.





I actually don't mind the ass side of the draft this year but I'll always put #1 on top of my KDS.

Any chance this league gets loaded on MDC today.
