How do I keep track of the players that I select?

OK, seems kind of silly, but I'll bite.

Yes, I believe a pencil and a piece of paper would be minimum requirements to keep track of your selections during the draft.

I prefer pens and white out. My aggressive nature causes the pencil points to break and there probably won't be a pencil sharpener nearby.

Oh, get the squeeze tube white out, not the twist cap brush.

Your welcome.

I have a nice crips $5 bill, for anyone who posts a picture of young Mark.

I will then also take a bet of 1000 dollars that says Mark could not get laid in a women's prison with a fist full of pardons.

You should have come to Vegas, an extremely wealthy man like yourself could do well with the ladies and you could also see that fear in my eyes close up.

No one is obsessed with you either, you are an idiot who I like to keep going just because it is funny that someone is that big of a loser, that he gets his kicks out of creating an image in a fantasy baseball league.

Now you will write back something essentially to the tune of everyone wants to be me, everyone is obsessed with me, blah blah blah.

I am still up for my challenge that would lead to one of us never posting on here again, you up for it.

funny how I said crips, you can take the man out of the gang, but not the gang out of the man. Go blue, down with Darryl Gates.

I'll be more likely circling than writing.

Pen and paper seem more effecient to me than laptop at this point. My computer skills aren't at the level yet where I can enter a player and all my data pops up and combines with the other players I have in the draft so far to create a picture of my team and then quickly see how players I might take in the following round would affect it. That would be ideal, but I'm not there yet. My preplanning should be solid enough to make up for it, tho.

As far as advice, you can always write the names on your eyeball so you don't forget and they're right in front of you. Just remember to write backwards.

I'll stand up for Gekko here, much as I hate to. I have a friend who used to travel around message boards and get people riled up about his persona's invention, the hoodbrella. He was supposedly a tall person who lost an eye to a short person with an umbrella and now he invented this hoodbrella so he could make money and stop these oh-so-common tragedies.

Anyway, that wasn't just being a loser, it was performance art, er, without the performance. Gekko's no hoodbrella salesman, but I'm sure he's at least having fun.

Since you'll probably be carving out your masterpiece during the draft, I would think this is the best way for you to go.

I am wearing one of those things on my arm that the quarterbacks wear to remember the plays. There should be enough room on that for my roster and a small cheat sheet.

Jeesh. Take Gekko for what he is, entertainment. If you take his posts seriously, then you need to look in a mirror.

If it rains this weekend, I'd hate to have such an unfortunate accident interfere with my draft.
