I have a question about this rule: " If there is a shortage of players on your roster, you may select a player from that franchise’s previous 3 seasons before the current WIS season. These players are ineligible to be twisted and must have a max AB of 400, or a WHIP of 1.30 or higher – there is no salary cap restriction on these players."

So does that mean if there are, for example, 23 eligible WIS players for my team I have to use them all and can only take 2 players who meet the shortage requirement? Or can I leave off a weaker eligible player and use someone else from the above group?

You must take what WIS gives you when you upload the team and the remaining two are to come from the previous 3 seasons. Now, keep in mind that you can go on to BBRef.com and pick players that may not meet the WIS requirements to be on the Minimum 20 games played, and twist that player, that would eliminate the need for the filler player, but it does count against your twist amounts.

OK, so by "what WIS gives you when you upload the team," I assume you mean if I go onto a blank Draft Center and put in a team and a year that's the team you mean. Is that right?

Also, the WIS minimums are 50 AB or 25 IP. But it does not automatically load all eligible players when you load a team as I described. Often some are left off that have qualifying seasons.

That is how I do it and probably the easiest way. And, that is how I check the teams, as well. I load the team and see what is missing, and weed out the players accordingly.

OK, I think I get it. When do we start drafting?

Was thinking draft would start tomorrow!

It shouldn't take long, if people sitemail next. I've got my top two choices ready, so any time is fine with me.

That's how we've been doing it. Let the next guy know

At what specific time (CDT) will we start drafting? With Sunday being a holiday (Easter) can we begin at 12:00 CDT? Some of us will be attending church services. Is there a time limit (1 hour) between picks? Depending on what you decide, I may have to proxy my pick and a couple of backups, if necessary, to mwhetstone.

I’m not really clear why we need a schedule. Just start picking. Only 15 choices in the whole draft.

Draft can start a soon as pmars2001 makes his pick. I know it's Easter, and I didn't think of that when I selected the date, so take care of family first.

I’ll go with the Cubs

And we're off!

I'm not sure we can catch the Cubs, but let's go with:

Pittsburgh Pirates

On page 1, it says tensaver picked Phil Phillies, but I don’t see a pick, is it my turn?

yes. Comish entered my team via proxy.

Thanks , I will try Detroit Tigers.
