Preparing for Draft Day

Draft Day is fast approaching (pitchers and catcher report in about four weeks!) This year's draft will be held on the weekend of April 2nd-3rd in an opulent office building in downtown Naperville.

The task now before us is to decide the time and date of the draft. Access to the building is available either Saturday or Sunday. We have one out of towner with a travel schedule (since Kenn decided to wuss out because Kenndoza #2 will be arriving).

Last year we drafted on a Saturday and started at 1pm. The entire draft (including Rotation Picks) lasted just over seven hours. That doesn't mean we have to do it again this year (the Saturday draft - not the seven hours), but feedback to the Saturday draft was favorable.

So here's what I need you to do. Consult your calendars and loved ones (not necessarily in that order) and e-mail me your preferred day to draft. Majority will rule unless someone absolutely cannot make it on a given day. Also provide me with your preferred start time. I would suggest we keep this simple, so choose between an 8am start and a 1pm start.

As a follow up to our discussion at the Banquet, your Exeutive Committee is hard at work researching the OnRoto and Fanball stat services to see if they are more viable options to CBS Sportsline. This is your LAST CHANCE to have an opinion. Once we (the EC) finish our research we will be providing you with a comparison of the sites and then putting things up for a vote. If you would like to voice your thoughts, go visit each website and share your findings with the league.

One last piece of business - - Hey Scott? We're still waiting for a team name!
