    Tengu selected Darrel Perez for pick 112. Darrel did not appear on the FA list until after March 4th.

    If we allow a player who was not available at the beginning of the draft to be chosen:

    It is unfair since not everyone had a chance to draft him.

    It creates an incentive for everyone to wait to pick until they see if any new FA's pop up during their 30 hours, since they would get the first crack at him.

    I know people will look at tengu's pick and think, "He's not that great, just let tengu keep him." If everyone decides to go along with that, I will too, but keep in mind that you're opening up the possibility for Stumps to get the two best players in the draft with first and last picks if he happens to get lucky.

    i dont have an issue with it either hes not better than a 4th round pick the chances of finding someone that is better than a 4th round pick is very slim given there are very few picks left to be made ...

    aslo as stumps said unless a shaq or jordan appears then let it go until that time the chance of it happening is very very slim

    Around 25 balls total skill and a salary of only 5.3 mil makes Perez pretty darn good value for money. Add that he's 27 with a few decent years yet, and I'm pretty sure he would have gone earlier if available.

    But then we're so close to the end that I'm ok to leave it and keep going with the draft and finally get some games started.

    Without going through all of the picks and verifying each pick, I dont think it would be fair to force a change at this point in time. It could end up being a very slippery slope in the long run. I was and probably am still looking at that exact position and I would have avoided that player so this move doesnt affect me as much as it might others.

    Turing, I think you are right on the money. However, I'm sick of all the rules and sick of waiting for the league to start, so I don't care anymore. If it must come to a vote, I vote don't draft them. But if anyone does draft them, I don't care.

    Da Freak picked Wilczewski, H. with pick 115. He was another player that appeared after the start of the draft.

    Yeah but now you are in violation of an actually draft rule but it's not like it was enforced before when it occured.

    THREE: Once you make your pick it is final. DO NOT go back and edit your post to change your pick ? that will only confuse and in truth screw up everything else. Take your time and make the right choice for your team and strategy.
