Bump… one week to go till draft day! When I checked last night, we still had just 16 owners, room for up to four more. PM me if interested Regulars **Omniscient** and **Kid\_A** are missing, I’ll send them a PM to remind them. ---

GAH! I have done almost no prep. That’s what almost two-year-olds do to you. ---

Maybe that’s what they do to _you_. Mostly I just get whacked in the crotch with Buzz Lightyear. ---

Okay - who’s up for an auction? PM me, and I’ll send you an invite. 12 team, 5x5 roto (OBP instead of AVG). ---

Well my keeper league drafted, and no sooner than 1 hour after the draft did I realize that Jose Reyes will probably be starting the season on the DL. Dammit. ---

It was my other keeper league I play in with my real friends. 🙂 Melting Pot is Sunday, of course. ---

> [@Wilson](#): > > It would a pure streak of genius to draft Jose Reyes in the Melting Pot league, seeing as it is AL only… Fortunately, that’s not possible, but, if it were, I’d be the one to do it, I’ve done so little prep work this year. The guy who just had Tommy John surgery, though - I’d draft him. ---

I won’t be at the live draft tonight. However, I will have my players pre-ranked, so after my first pick, it should go to auto draft. I will be able to play as normal after the draft. ---

I mis-read the draft time. Turns out its at…3am here in London. Ouch. If I’m not online, you’ll know why… Would it be possible to move that time up by 2-3 hours or so? By the way: My vote for best team name of all time goes to ‘Grab Your Ankiels’. That’s bloody brilliant. ---

Didn’t know you were in London, **DragonAsh** - I think it’s too close to draft time to change it without messing up other owners. One year we did have an owner somewhere in Scandanavia in the league, and he did make it for the entire draft - so, tough it out, man! 🙂 I’m going to do my best to make the draft - last night was supposed to be my night to finish my research and polish my pre-rankings, but instead I had a little visit from a kidney stone… much better now, but I’m not sure how late I’m going to be able to stay up tonight. ---

Actually, you’re first to the party. No one PMed me. There’s still plenty of time to do this, folks. Any days out there no one can draft? This would be a NEED to be there draft, rather than “I’ll draft the first 10 rounds then auto-draft” sorta league. ---

I really need to do an auction draft one of these days, but I freak out and use up all my yahoo team slots every year. Until recently couldn’t you have like 8 teams in a sport? ---
