INJURY REPLACEMENT PICK:

Allow one end-of-draft replacement pick per team if, while the draft is underway, a manager loses a player to a confirmed season-ending injury. The replacement pick priority order will coordinate with the injured player's original draft position. Replacement picks must be identified within 24 hours following the conclusion of the draft.

(This is not a setting available in Yahoo; Commissioner Tools will be used to execute the replacement player transaction.)

I guess I'll need a replacement pick for Sale. I should have waited one more day.

[Mario LeMoose]

Dirtbags chose a player not available in our league ... it happens. I have deleted the pick (will appear as "missed"). Manager can draft an eligible replacement at his convenience.

Hi, Curby!

Strange times indeed. If the MLB season ever gets underway, I wonder if we'll see an All Star break. Maybe the All Star break will be the start of the regular season.

I was thinking the other day that I really miss the old chat room where I first stumbled across all of you degenerates.....

amazing to think how long ago that chat room was. My daughter who wasnt born will be graduating GW next Dec.
Is it finally safe to say ESPN will not be bringing it back?
