Just set up time slots for each pick and move on...
People can leave a list...
This is ridiculous..

What are everyone's thoughts abut reducing the maximum per pick to 12 hours starting in the 9th Round?

Not opposed but I understand if the quick turnaround on doing that might ruffle some feathers.

We could always wait until to reduce that time until the 10th Round. The vast majority of people have made their pick within 12 hours, but there are certain parts of the draft where we're always delayed.

Honestly,I think 2 hours is plenty of time and you get skipped. Then you could make the pick whenever

Honestly,I think 2 hours is plenty of time and you get skipped. Then you could make the pick whenever I'm for a slow draft, but this has been really slow. I had a friend that is discussed a few philosophical things on the draft and he was surprised that we we ending the 7th round. Ideally we would knock out a round a day, but that hasn't been happening. |

Yeah as slow as we are going player's value are going to change wildly later on. I think figuring out what starting date we want to effort towards would be a good planning start.

We'll continue the 24-hour maximum per pick for the 9th Round, but to be determined beyond that.

I've sent a few messages to Detroit (dealing with a loss in the family recently), but I already have Toronto's pick so hopefully things will move quickly soon.

I don’t think a 12 hour time limit is going to do much. I think there’s only been 4 picks that have been over the 12 hour limit and 2 of them were in the first round. It’s the 8-10 hour picks that are killing us. I think between 9am-11pm EST it should be 2 or 4 hours.

I think it should be a 2 hour time limit with a blackout time between 10pm and 6am.

I could put up a vote with some options. If you're talking about a blackout time, what time zone are we using? We're all over the map geographically.

I think we should all wear shock collars that activate every 30 seconds you haven't made a pick when yours comes up.

I don't know if Chad Green is going to be used as SP, but Green and Diego Castillo are very interesting SP options with their stamina ratings.

And Diego Castillo was my next pick but you got him The Pr stamina as a reliever pretty much incentivizes you to use them as a SP where they also have Pr stamina. In a few simulations, I've gotten them up to 170+ IP. |

Yeah as slow as we are going player's value are going to change wildly later on. I think figuring out what starting date we want to effort towards would be a good planning start. What would be a good date to target? By the end of June? All-Star Break? August? I think as the player value starts to dwindle below 1 WAR, then we can talk about more drastic measures to speed things up. Although we'll have 50 available roster spots, it's also possible that some teams will want to keep things open and not draft a full 50 rounds. |

I think a good target date to start simming would be end of June. That would put us, hopefully, on pace to where we could catch up to the season before the end of July. We might have to reconsider the trade deadline for this inaugural season and I agree once we start moving towards the later rounds here where the value tends to even out and starters are not being drafted then we could start some speed up measures. Whatever we beat that start date by the better and we can maybe catch up sooner so we are not simming weeks at a time to catch up.

If we do lists, we should have a system where everyone blindly submits their list and then we automatically process them in draft order. Maybe that way people wouldn't be disinclined to participate. There really are only a handful of truly outstanding players left already (ignoring the fringe prospects who wouldn't be eligible to play this season or possibly next) |

I would oppose this option for the obvious reason the market changes based on who is picked in between a team's picks.
A more reasonable solution would be to set up times for each pick per round and go from there.
If a team misses the time to pick, then use an emergency list the team can provide or move on if there is no list.
No need to penalize a team who wants to make a pick because other teams wait unreasonable amounts of time to make a pick.
A team can also provide a short list to the league commish when their pick is within 5 picks, etc.

While I agree we should try and speed things up, on the other side of the coin, you don't want to piss someone off to the point where they quit because of the constant badger about it. I agree with Tampa ( i wish you guys would add your name someplace) where there's a 2 hour window and no picking after 10 pm

People could still pick during blackout times since we wouldn't want to slow it down more than necessary if people are on and able to make picks. You could do it where it wouldn't impact the clock. While I think we're all eager to get to games, time is still on our side and we don't necessarily have to catch up to the MLB schedule this year. Our season can still be going on this initial year while the MLB playoffs are happening or even after they're over. Since the projection disks don't come out until mid-April anyway, we could start our Arbitration Process and Free Agency a little later without impacting the start of next season.

I am more concerned where we are already drafting with information we shouldn't be and impacting player value then starting the season on time.

If our active roster is affected by the MLB active roster, then, time is certainly important. If a player ends the season on the DL in September, but was healthy two months prior, well that B1G team is penalized.
What happens if we are only half-way through our season and a team has several players end on IL? Will they ever be able to use them again after losing the healthy months.
I have three kids, soccer, scouts, weekends, adult softball, nearly 50 hours a week job right now and I'm making most of my picks within a two hour window or far less of knowing I'm on the clock.
Drafting is the great part of a startup draft, but we are only 20% through and these have been the easy picks.

So for example if a player missed the first week of the year he would still miss that time during that week of the database. |

Drafting is the great part of a startup draft, but we are only 20% through and these have been the easy picks. This is a great question and I had it too. Since we're playing with the same season schedule as the MLB, the injury would only apply if the player was on the IL at the beginning of the same week of play. So I don't think we'd need to worry about players ending the MLB season on the IL. OTOH... it could affect the B1G playoffs. For MLB teams that don't make the playoffs, wouldn't they just leave their injured guys on the IL? Or conversely, if your star player doesn't play for an playoff-bound team, you luck out because they can't get injured. |
