I logged in about 10 minutes before starting time. I had a list of of players that are either true sleepers or guys that I simply like a lot more than the ADP suggests. It made sense to find some of them ahead of time and place them on the chalkboard (aka - pre-draft selections) so that I wouldn't have to dig around for them later. BIG MISTAKE!
I didn't realize that by placing players in this area, I was essentially creating a substitute default list if I went over on my alotted time. Sure enough, a player lasted longer in round one than I expected so I tried to find him. (I am not the quickest draw when it comes to the keyboard or mouse!) I ran out of time and to my astonishment my first round pick defaulted to Aaron Hill! 
Now Aaron Hill's a good player, but the only way he's a first round pick is if the player pool consists only of Toronto Blue Jays. Anyway, I hastily tried to reassure everyone that I wasn't intentionally screwing things up. (It just came naturally!) Unfortunately, my failure to make a first round selection kicked the auto-pilot on. The time window shortened and before I could select Ryan Braun with pick #16, the default kicked in again and said "Why don't you take Freddy Sanchez instead?" 
Yikes! This is not what I had in mind! I righted the ship from there, and deleted the rest of the pre-draft names so that the likes of Anthony Reyes didn't wind up as my 3rd round pick. Alas the damage was done. Most people bailed out of the draft because they understandably figured it was a lost cause! 
My apologies to all of you who were witness to this debacle! Be forewarned however. I'm going to try MDC again tomorrow.
If I dribble the ball off my foot and out of bounds again, I will pull the plug on my MDC endeavors!Kevin
