I'm pretty sure we had that last year when we were drafting in the OOPSS system too.

We had a time limit, certainly, but I think it was shorter than 24 hours.

That may be the case, however for some reason 24 sticks in my head as being in there somewhere. It might have been that we gave 24 hrs for the first two rounds then reduced the time limit back to 12 hrs a pick or less or something like that for the later rounds?

24 hours came up during the argument about 1st round draft pick trading, but I don't think it was implemented. That might be where you remember it from.

24 hours was definitely the time limit imposed in the draft queue last year. By the way, I think that's what's really slowing the pace down. Use your draft queue people!

Astros · Post by **Astros** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 5:42 pm

Rumor has it the Cardinals may clean house in scouting a player development, because there is obviously a mole telling the Phillies who the top person on the Cards draft board is after Raben, Lindblom and Odorizzi go off the board

Wow...I was pretty much counting on getting him with my next pick. I didn't even research anyone else. Suffice it to say that this next pick will be well below average.

I thought about taking him with my last pick, thought he'd fall further.
