Hope things are well with you.

Remember that you can use Draftime to trade picks, players, or both while the draft is underway.

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.)

Please be prepared for a time limit between picks to be imposed, not as a punitive measure but to allow us to better manage the remaining rounds of the draft.

Slacker penalty: Evil Commish reserves the authority to impose reduced clock time, up to and including skipping a turn, upon any manager who repeatedly delays the progress of the draft. Such an extreme measure should not be necessary, given the auto-pick options available in Draftime.

The 2024 MLB season begins Wednesday, March 20, in Seoul. We must complete our draft by Tuesday, March 19, to qualify for first-week scoring. Read that as 11:59 p.m. EDT (Evil Commish's time zone).
