I think a team should declare they are done drafting if they decide to quit drafting but still have draft picks available on their roster.

Sorry, I was only thinking that for people who are out of picks. Definitely agree.

Yep, it would be easier if you would mention if you have picks left too, so that we can set them to auto-skip.

Is this a queue issue or pure negligence?

We're in round five... really, what's the rush?

There's no rush - but it's rude to take 24 hours and get skipped. If you're not intending to draft then drop your pick. It hasn't just been the 5th round.

Meh. Shit happens and folks get busy. It's not like it really matters how long the draft takes, it's not as though we've gotta get these guys off to their minorleague assignments and they're missing development time.

You obviously don't play fantasy baseball hard enough to know what is going on in some people's minds

Damn, there was a guy in the draft named Packy and I didn't take him?
