It's less than 6 days before my 3/22 satelite ($250 league 2, 6PM EST) I go to MDC and it tells me I am not registered in any upcoming drafts. Is it possible that this draft isn't set up yet? If someone in this league IS registered for this draft, I'd like to know.

I'm in this league and when I go to MDC I click on My Upcoming Drafts, MDC informs me that I have no upcoming drafts. This makes me nervous. When should I expect the site to acknowledge my existence in this draft?

I'm from LV, and while this may greatly surprise some, I'm voting for what works best for me. Mar 29th would be my preference. I suspect that Easter would be too much of a conflict, therefore, I'll go with Ides of March to Place. (isn't this the horse that Greg won on?) I think the real question is ...

Can I hope to improve my deplorable rating with my results in the $500 satelites? (Do they count?) And where are those ratings now posted?

When do you think this draft will show up on MDC?

Tom and Geoff, Thanks guys, you guys are takin' care o' business. Freer's Cactus Vacation snags the #9 spot. who's going to be left? Santana, Utley, Vlad, Howard? Hard to prepare for this one.

The forum jinx lives. (The March 11 thread estimated 1 PM EST, though).....and verily it came to pass.

"Orioles and Bedard, don't take that fence in, a better draw is Anna Benson" (did you really want to talk baseball?)

Who might be Chris Young? , because I've got two chances to be right if I don't tell you which one. (Do I get partial credit for Chris Ianetta or Delmon Young?)

Freer's Crazy Hardball snags the #13 pick. Is it unlucky to comment in the forum? (we humbly apologize for the coal in the stocking comment). Seriously though, I like getting the slot early so I can prepare. Good luck and good will to all.

Late breaking news! After a hurriedly convened meeting between Bud and assorted politicians, used car salesmen, and bookies.....er, I mean trusted advisors, it was determined that an official televison timeout was called and that Bonds knowingly and deliberately played on. Bonds has now been declare...

OK, If this was announced, I didn't see it. (Tom's version of coal in our stockings?)

This is like waiting for Christmas morning. (or watching grass grow)

....home run (sigh). That was no cheerleader that was Britney in a wig. If Pierre wasn't distracted, he'd have had it easily. Selig has Britney detained to examine the evidence.

This figues to be a close one, so I suspect Yankee tradition and (mostly) Big George's wallet to pervail. 1B or SP, sure, whatever you need. Papi and Arod to put up big nimbers but I hate chalk, so I'll go with Abreu.

I would also play. This sounds like a natural idea for those who want to come to vegas. Could we use our drafting conference room for the tnmt.? It seemed like our conf. room was idle the night before. Can we get a sponsor (Harrah's ? They're getting into televised poker events) or take a modest pri...

I am on terms with a player who had the opinion that changing one's name could be used to disguise a bad record by someone wishing to tout his services. However, I don't see how this could be proved ( I think that the greatest picks in the world can be obliterated by injury, anyway )and I don't thin...

I'm curious as to why there should be a need to limit cell phone use or renaming of teams. I could see a cell phone or renaming as a nusiance but not a threat.

I also am in favor of a broader distribution of prize money, focusing more heavily on league prizes. I too, see the current top prize as more of a lottery. I agree with all of the points from the e-mail above.

The proposed changes seem very good to me. However, my season seemed to be influenced by injuries to a great extent. So I would like to say that for #3 season eligibility I'd like to see the number shrink to 15 or preferably 10 games ('04). More flexibility helps deal with injuries. Also #7 I would ...

Dyv: A very interesting and thought provoking post. My answer would be this: If I was currently in the running for the $100,000 prize, I wouldn't want any change that might upset the applecart giving anyone incentive to screw up a good thing. But this isn't being proposed for this year. It's being p...

I would have a pretty strong preference for adopting category prizes. It has been pointed out that this would redistribute prize money among top teams. Redistributing prize money is a good thing because the prize fund was top heavy to start with. Allthough the concern about a team trying to lock up ...

Maybe they could use another slight nudge to update today's overall standings. The team stats and league standings are updated.

As you suspected, Tom, the stats updated perfectly. Thanks for your attention and quick response.

Tom, Great. I was sure that if I could ever get through that you'd be a big help. Thanks (as promised)
