I am the last owner, as I nearly had forgotten to join. I may not be around for the draft, however. I did pre-rank my players, and if there’s any way I can have my picks made immediately when my turn comes up, I’ll figure it out. I do plan on being active for the season, however.
If you are not logged on to the draft, Yahoo makes the picks off of your preranked list very quickly, usually in under five seconds. It’s only owners like me, who agonize for the full 90 seconds on whether to draft Rod Barajas or Yadier Molina, that make the draft last forever.
Agonize?
It’s Barajas in a heartbeat.
Looks like you misspelled Yadi there. </Cardinals homer off>
I’m stoked for tomorrow. Fantasy Draft Day is a true sign of the start of baseball season.
Bumping this because the draft is in just slightly less than 12 hours. As I’ve done for the past couple of years, I’ll have a chat room open on IRC at some point tonight prior to the draft (although I’ve got a dinner thing until 7 or 8, probably) if anyone wants to do some predraft smack talking.

One final bump to carry us over to the draft.
Three hours and counting…
T-minus 45 minutes.
That was exhausting…totally didn’t expect that to end when it did.
This is, without a doubt, the best roster I’ve ever drafted. I don’t see any obvious holes (with the possible exception of SB) and I’ve got some good OBP guys.
Can’t wait for someone to do the draft recap thread.
I broke down the rosters here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=364109
No commentary just yet. But the thread is started.
