Dola:
To answer my own question abuot drafting, this is from the "All about Leagues" help file(I'm assuming I wasn't the only one here who hasn't read all this stuff yet) ============================================== The draft will be processed automatically five calendar days (real calendar days) after the draft list is made available. Depending on your sim schedule, this is between ten and 40 simulated games after the 40th day of the season (the actual formula being number of simulated games per day times five game days). Your team will draft up to three players (one in each round of the three-round draft), provided you have enough room in low minors. Since all amateur draft players automatically go to low minors, and there is a maximum of 10 players in low minors, if you already have 8 or more players in low minors, you will draft less than three players! In fact, if you have 10 players in low minors, you will skip the draft altogether! Be sure to pay attention to your roster when it's time for the draft! ============================================ |

Word to the wise. Don't bother with that autonumbering draft thing. Excersize in frustration to say the least.
But hey, I got the #1 pick in the draft, so go me. |

Sorry, thought you know. I "erased" your sisters virginity with it...
Damn, maybe that's a little uncalled for...

I think we're declaring Division 4 the elite FOFC CSFBL division. Chriiiist.
(either that or we're all just mediocre, and pounding each other into oblivion) |

I get more and more excited about this league every day
Check out the free agent list in an established league(in 1987, 7/8 years in): http://www.csfbl.com/freeagents.asp?leagueid=86 It looks like as the league develops the talent pool will grow bigtime and there will be a ton more strategy involved than there is right now. |

I think the interface for ranking your draft picks is just ornery.
You can't have them listed in order, so ranking them become a pain. If you submit 2 guys as the same ranking, it won't let you proceed. You have to needle out who it is. That sounds petty, but it's a pain to set up the list, only to find 2 guys are the same, then go through all 80 guys to try to find what # isn't being used, then adjust every guy who's ranked after that empty slot. If it'd just rank it in the order of your preference, it'd be SO much easier. |

I was playing around with the draft order too and the first time I changed someone it automagically updated everything else, after that it wouldn't re-order everyone anymore. I haven't really thought about it enough yet to actually come up with my list so I'm gonna try again later. |

Their FA list would be better than ours even if everyone of our team s dumped their players.

Well I haven't looked at everyone else's teams, but I'd say that the top 20 picks in the draft at least(maybe more) would immediately find a spot in my major league roster, so I can see with that + player development might do for the talent level in our league in just 2-3 years.

I just tried to set my draft order using auto re-numbering. I ended up with 7 guys set at #80.

dola - this worked for me since I'm going pretty pitcher heavy and only had a very few number of position players to put into the mix.
I turned OFF auto numbering and numbered everyone from 1 to 80 right down the list in order. I submitted that, turned on auto-numbering, and the 8-10 small changes I made(including bumping up some position playerse from 50ish to #6 on the list) all worked with the auto-renumbering. Dunno if that will work consistnatly though. |

It was working for me earlier. At least I think it was working. I didn't go through it number by number to double check it. Maybe I should...

If you submitted your changes, and it didn't work it woudl have put a message right above the list that said something like invalid numbering, not saving changes. |

Sweet, I just realized that I have the second best divisional record in the league at 17-7!
It just too bad that I'm 6-12 outside of Division 1...

Hi. I'd just like to say that I don't like rkmsuf.
We were just beginning to feel good about ourselves. Then we took a trip to Foxboro. rkmsuf and the Phlegm opened up a keg o' WhoopAss[tm] upon us. Sending us home with a 4 game sweep, crying like 4 year olds. What a terribly poor host. |

Div 2 is just starting to get intertesting. It looked like the Silver Bullets were going to run away and hide, but some have now gotten back into the race....ahem.
I think that Div 2 is the cream of the cop of teams, so far we have 4 of the top 6 best records in the league. or we are beating up on the two worst teams in the entire league. You decide.

Don't count your starters before you contend. Rember players in the Low minors develop faster than players in the majors or AAA level. As a cellar dweller I am going to assume that I will keep all my draft picks down for at least a year. |

I am too, whether I'm winning or not(I'm contending in my division but I'm not going to bring up my draft picks). I'm shooting for the younger talent, the 20-21 year olds that look really good. If I do end up with one of the decent 25 year olds, yeah, I'll probably put him on my major league roster, but we don't relaly know exactly how well the low minors improvements work so I'm keeping anyone that isn't already 25 down there that started down there just to see. |

Over in Division 4, the contenders and pretenders are starting to take form, in what I still say is the most difficult division.
A 6 game winning streak has thus far kept Palm Desert 1 game back of the leader. |

Division 4 is really heating up now, I'm only 2 games back myself, I'm pretty disappointed though, I only went 2-2 vs the last place team in a recent series, I did take 3 of 4 from Cincinatti though.
I have one more series at home in the division, before embarking on a 36 game road set against Divisions 3 and (I think) Division 2. This is going to be scary. |

The battle for first place in Division 4 has commenced between Palm Desert and Cincinatti, with the Avengers taking the first game of the 3 game series.
Whoever wins this series goes out with sole possession of first place. |

Managed to move two games up on Wyandotte and am now only one game out of first. I still have two games against them, so hopefully by the end of the series I'll be in first!
