| Message | Wait a minute, I seem to remember everyone having their panties in a bundle based on everyones availability for what day they could make draft day. So I guess that means everyone DOESN"T have busy schedules since it took two weeks plus to nail down a date. I sent an email to Dan and said I would give him the picks ahead of time to avoid the discussion and problems about deadlines I thought being proactive was going to help everyone to not have to go through the awkward ordeal I created like last year. Dan came up with the idea to make a change to accomidate on his own because he has a consciounce and wants it to be fair to everyone. Well that seems to be a mistake. I am telling everyone in ULB for the 10th time the end of March is a busy time for me and always will be. I have sat in airports and paid for internet access to make the deadline in the past. The ULB signing due dates are a high priority but one of many for me. Sorry it is not going to change. I will send my picks to Dan early or your right Pat since you said "dont wait until the last minute to sign your guys...no one has ever been burned by the last minute injury before the signing deadline" then why don't you lead the way and throw out who you are signing and I will reply with my signees as to not hold you or anyone else up. Make sure it is the real signees I don't want to re adjust my prep. This should solve the problem and we can put the topic to rest. Lead the way buddy. |

| Message | I don't see the problem with signing a week in advance. Surely we can all find one minute out of the day to post contracts on the banter board on the day of the deadline. That is really all it takes. BTW site looks great Dan...good job as always  |

| Message | I say show up on draft day and tell everyone who you are drafting. Do you really need to know in that much advance who you are signing??? Are you waiting on every last word from GM's do make your final strategy??? Who cares. Real life situation outway ULB I am sorry, people are busy and live busy lives, get over it, come to draft day and tell me who you are going to sign. Really don't need a week in advance and if you are a good GM you should be able to adapt on the fly anyway. I vote Dan phones everyone until he get a hold of them all...eh Dan sounds like fun! |

| Message | i agree with Pat but i understand Dan's huge frustration with our history of deadline problems. But if after 16 years we can't figure it out.. i agree too bad. i'm all for leniency and grace but there has to be some hard and fast rules. |

| Message | I say don't worry about the deadline shenanigans...dont wait until the last minute to sign your guys...no one has ever been burned by the last minute injury before the signing deadline and its not like you havent had enough notice to know the signings are due the week before draft day. So if you forget thats too bad I'd say.... |

| Message | waiting on rob for HOF.. i left a msg last night.. what about if noel emailed his contracts in pig latin? oytray ulowitskitay? i can arrange a neutral person though...or you can arrange one.. silly as it is, it beats the deadline shenanigans.. |

| Message | I don't like the rule change either since I don't think its fair to be signing someone for fun and then changing it last minute in an effort to screw with the other GM's who are actually doing prep (Don)....I do support the 3rd party contract fall back option though. And Noel and I don't come to blows over Bruce Chen pitchers....we come to blows when he fu*** me over for Troy Tulowitzki ha ha ha... Another guarantee for draft day is either one of Harold, Noel or myself will bid on one guy that the other is seriously interested, not back down, bid the player up then let the other GM have that player and then state "you owe me, I just did a job for you there".... |

| Message | and Derksen and Noel to get in a bidding war over a Yankee, resulting in Noel pissed off and Derksen giggling... and Don to remind us how little prep he did.. and Tim and I to be the only two in the Strasburg bidding war, resulting in Tim winning the bid and me trading $50 to Tim in the offseason for his services (2 years later $30 to someone else to take him off me).. |
