2008 FA Makeup Draft Picks

[SultansOfSquat (Man)]

Since several owners were missing from the live draft and did not provide pre-ranked proxy lists (or any other instructions), ie. Frothy Walruses, Goodbye Slicers, we decided to use Yahoo's O-Rank (for the most part unless it makes obviously poor choice) combined w/ specific team needs to make temporary proxy picks for them and also allow them to make changes to those picks (and only those picks) w/in the 24 hours following the completion of the overall draft before we open up the FA pool for normal add/drops. Of course, these changes cannot involve players that other owners drafted already.

As of now, they have until 12:30am ET Tuesday (3/25) to post their pick changes to this thread on a first-come-first-serve basis before I open the league up for normal add/drops.

Here are the draft selections that they may change:

Frothy Walruses:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Young Guns:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Gas Can Turtles:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Center for Ants:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Goodbye Slicers:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Sneaker Pimps:
Any of their picks from the live draft

Hounds of Hell:
Any of their picks from the live draft

To make a change, please post your new draft selection in this thread along w/ the player to be replaced. You do *NOT* need to post the draft pick #. Just make sure the player being replaced was taken in the draft on your behalf w/out your instructions and/or proxy lists. The appropriate changes will be made on your behalf before we open up the FA pool for normal add/drops.

To find the list of players taken in the draft, you can use the following link on Yahoo (and then, choose your own team to narrow it down to just your drafted players):

No problem. Please do feel free to ask me any questions you may have to help you get up to speed w/ the league. Also, I'm generally online for much of each workday and often into the evening, so if you have questions, it should not be too hard to find me (either on Yahoo IM or via email) though my actual availability will of course depend a bit on how busy I am at the moment. ;D

Ok. For the purpose of the makeup replacement picks for the Draft, you'll also need to indicate which proxy drafted players you want to drop in exchange for those adds. Greg Maddux could be one since he was taken on your behalf during the live draft.

You can find the other players you may drop for this purpose at the following link on Yahoo -- you will need sign onto Yahoo to see the list:

standard.baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/21395/transactions?mid=16&filter=add

I guess I can just cut and paste the list for you below:

Cla Meredith (SD - RP)
Melky Cabrera (NYY - CF)
Mark Reynolds (Ari - 3B)
Scott Downs (Tor - RP)
Greg Maddux (SD - SP)
Scott Baker (Min - SP)
Felipe López (Was - SS)

You may drop any of these players in exchange for the ones you want as makeup replacement picks. Please just specify which ones to drop for which player adds. To do any other add/drops, you will need to wait until normal add/drop activities are reinstated around 12:30am ET tonight. Thanks.

FYI, in case you didn't realize, there is a 25-man roster limit (not including the 3 DL slots), and all rosters have already been filled to 25 via the Draft.



EDIT: Since Young Guns never confirmed exactly which draft picks and players to makeup/replace, I could not process the request. Sorry about that. However, you may now go ahead and make whatever add/drops you wish as normal league activities. Please just note that we do have a limit of 100 add transactions.

The 24-hour period for makeup/replacement picks has expired. The league is now open for normal FA add/drops.
