2007 CSBC Amateur Draft Round 1

[PitchingWinsGames]

Hello? Why was I auto'd? I was here waiting for the teams ahead of me to pick. I said in the chat thread that I was about to go auto'd, not that I wanted to.

You had between 6:58 and 7:09 (past your deadline) to make your pick. Check the timestamps of my posts versus the deadlines.

I gave you the highest potentially rated player.
--------------------
Milwaukee gets Roberto Perez
Arlington (who's not going to pick anyways) gets Leonard Schroeder

The time stamps don't update when the posts merge so you can't rely on that. It's also hard to check when merging posts don't show up in unread posts.

I also thought we were giving people extra time if they were here.

So let's not use Merged timestamps... Mainge posted at 7:02, 3 minutes before your pick, and I last "edited" that last merged post at 7:09, so even if we take that at face value, you had 7 minutes... (realistically, it was probably closer to 10, assuming they don't update properly)

I just woke up specifically to do this, you had more than the allotted time AND you made it clear you were strongly contemplating being auto'd ... can I get just the tiniest bit of slack here?

Plus, what would a PM have hurt?

Gene Carlson for Anchorage

I was one of the best people at being here for my draft time in the inagural draft. I posted in the CSBC chat. Why would you think I would miss my pick?
--------------------
And PM's work two ways. You could have pm'd me.

And I never said for you to auto me yet. I said I was thinking about it.

I didn't think you missed your pick, specifically for that reason.

Read again what I said, you had already brought up being auto'd as a strong consideration and had more than enough time by that point.

KC gets Kevin Ahrens

Also, re-check your time stamps. Your pick was merged at 7:05 and the next post was at 7:09. That's 4 minutes. I was not given 7 minutes.

You had till the next pick was put it to change it.

Your deadline = 7:05
I picked for Pitt/NY @ 6:58

The 7:05 edit for the Moustakas pick was to edit the term 'for Colorado via Boston", else, the pick was entered BEFORE 7:02, as shown by Mainge's since-edited post okaying the pick... (though, it was locked by that point, anyways)

Julio Borbon for San Francisco

Jarrod Parker for San Antonio

And I found two weeks after we broke up that my ex gf made a habit of cheating on me... I can't go back and break up with her over it... I should have been more observant at the time.

Come 7:04 (but really earlier than that) you should have thrown a 3 person or so list to me... For all intents and purposes, you actually had more than the allotted time.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Why would I send out a list 1 minute before my draft time? I'm not one of these owners that is never on and I was online during this whole fiasco. I didn't know our rules had changed since the first draft that now, if you're online at don't pick by your alottrd time that you get auto'd.

[Branch]

Oh, what? Not picking until after your deadline has passed means you get auto'd? Fuck the heck?

[Fishfan79]

so this isnt continuing but skipping us that never got to get to pick because others before us didnt pick? and doing round 2 instead?

I dont get this league

[Swifty]

ummm you were auto'd Julio Borbon.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Not to get into this again, but we didn't auto people in the first round of the inagural draft. This draft is just as important, particularly this round because the talent is so thin. I don't Get why this was auto'd.
