It looks like I’m going to be in _Japan_ for the entire week of the draft…which means I’ll be in the Tokyo office in meetings pretty much the entire time. There’s no way I will make the draft, so I’m going to have to bow out of this and all the other Yahoo leagues this year, I’m afraid. Apologies for the short notice.

If no one shows up, I don’t mind playing the team that gets autodrafted…

I guess Retro gets **Ellis** ’ spot, since nobody else has asked for it. Ash, I doubt anyone else will have a problem with you having an autodraft team if you don’t.

Bumping. Does anyone have a problem with **RetroVertigo** taking over Ellis’ team? I guess you can just PM me, or Varlos, or whoever. We’ll leave this up in the air until 5 today.

I Retro’s a good fit - let’s just get this going, since I believe we’ll have one more spot to fill, right?

</div>

I guess we don’t really need to wait until 5, since we’ve been talking about this for a couple of days and nobody seems to care.

Welcome to the league, **RetroVertigo**!

ETA: We may not have to fill **DragonAsh** ’s spot. He said he didn’t mind playing with an autodrafted team, so unless we have another person dying to get into the league we may as well keep him.

Does anyone know if Ellis has to delete his team, since he’s already signed up? Or can it be transferred?

The commish can boot him. I’ll do it when I transfer the commish post (on my phone now, will do it later).

Gee guys, I don’t what happened. I was drinking last night and must have benched my whole team.

You’d probably beat Hamlet anyway. He’s got hilariously bad luck.

I may be able to take over for DragonAsh or even just do a mercenary draft for his team - will get back with availability later if you want me to do it.

(I think someone snickered at my offer to draft for absentees in this league 2 years ago, when I then went on to fucking demolish all 3 SDMB leagues I drafted in that year. No idea how you all fail to recognize my greatness)

SB has right of first refusal, since he offered first, but in case he declines I’m posting Ash’s team info here for anyone else interested in taking over:

I’m 90% sure I can make the draft. I can be 99% sure in a few days. If that’s cool I’m in.

Any chance I can get Ellis’ and then I can declare my keeper(s). Unless they have been posted earlier and I just missed it.

Here are the theoretically keepable players from **Ellis’** team last year (strikethrough means kept twice and thus no longer eligible). Basically, you’ll be keeping Victor Cruz.

> [@](#):

> 6. (167) Dustin Keller (NYJ - TE)
> 7. (170) New England (NE - DEF)
> 8. (198) Victor Cruz (NYG - WR)

You have the 10th pick in the first round.

Did we finally remove the rule that you can’t keep Rd. 3 players (that would be kept in Rd 1)?

Yeah, I will keep just Cruz in the 13th.
