Fantastic news, Dave! Best wishes to your family, which appears chock full of cancer-beaters.
-
That is good news Dave! I love to hear success stories. Continued good health!
-
Good news on the cancer front. My Dad had a pretty severe scare last year (scans positive in his leg and lungs), but with surgery and chemo he's three months clear this week.

In lieu of some alternate communication method, I'll simply ask that everyone have the auction window pulled up on both their computer and a secondary device (probably your phone) that is connected to a different internet connection than your computer, like a cellular connection. That way, if your internet goes down during the draft, you can just pick your phone and say "hold up a second please".
-
Okay, so, friendly reminder that the auction is this Sunday at 4 pm eastern/1 pm pacific. I request that everyone be in the draft room by 3:50 pm for roll call and a quick overview of how we'll run things. With no new owners this winter, we should all be ready to go and knock this thing out in a prompt manner. I believe we've wrapped in less than two hours the last few years, and I'd love to continue that trend, seeing as my Mom is in town this weekend.
-
The half hour difference won't matter much to me, so let's just keep it at 4PM to give Raburns a buffer
-
My wife is running a marathon in Ann Arbor. She should cross the finish line around 1245. If there are no unexpected post race delays or traffic, 330 should be fine. If something goes sideways and I need the extra 30, I can message the group earlier in the afternoon.

Ralph/Raburns: are we pushing more for 3:30 or 4 pm this coming Sunday?

Thanks again for accommodating my schedule, fellows.
-
I don't know my schedule for sure, so I'll let Raburns decide what he is comfortable with and I'll make it work.
-
I've tentatively scheduled the auction for March 26th at 4 pm eastern. Ralph, if 3:30 is a huge improvement for you, and Raburns is cool shifting to 3:30, it sounds like the rest of us don't have a preference on start time, so we can adjust that part.
-
Anything earlier than 4pm would be pushing it for me. Could probably be ready by 330 or something but not much earlier.

4 PM is ok, but not great for me. An hour earlier would help me if it's not a problem for anyone else. But if it's a big deal, I can manage 4 PM.
-
If anyone objects to an afternoon draft on Sunday, March 26th, speak up now.
-
Okay, so due to Oxford's limitation, it looks like the early leader in the clubhouse for draft date would be an earlier evening draft on Sunday, March 26th. The only person who has expressed resistance to the 26th was Raburns, but that sounded like that was only for the morning. Does anyone have a specific conflict for something like a 4 pm eastern time auction on the 26th? That would give us a couple of hours before east coast folks had to eat dinner.
-
Any Friday or Saturday evening in March is fine for me. Sunday evenings are usually difficult. I would likely not know until a few days prior if I could manage.

All of the proposed dates work for me.

I have a strong preference against a weeknight. Not just because of the time zone challenge I would represent (until the 19th), but because one of the 12 of us will have something else go wrong "America is sick" (the dog, not the country), "my partner is held up and I need to put the kid in bed," etc. A focused weekend block has a more likely success rate, in my opinion.

I can do all of them except the 17th.

I am available 17/18/19/25/26

I'm not yet sure if I'm available the 10th/11th/12th but should know more today or tomorrow, and have no (known) problem with the 17th/18th/19th or 24th/25th/26th. If it goes this way, weeknights from the 15th-20th would work but any others would be very, very difficult.

My preference would be not the 25th, but will adjust if that date is the one chosen

I can make any proposed date work.

"Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto reiterated Thursday that they will try not to ask too much of Vogelbach as he attempts to solidify himself as Seattle's starting first baseman this season, ESPN 710 Seattle's Shannon Drayer reports. " Vogelbach is going to fit in just fine on my team!

I am flying (from Oxford to New York) on March 19th. So I'd have a strong preference for the weekend I am in NYC, for time zone reasons. That would be the 24th, 25th, or 26th. (So this would leave the 24th based on other messages).

All of the proposed dates are fine with me. If the Sunday morning idea catches on, I am not available March 26. I am also fine with most weeknights if needed.

I'd also be up for an early evening Sunday draft. Nice way to wind down the weekend.
-
The 17th will be tough for me. I'll make whatever day work though.
