Is he on the clock again or do we just skip over him?

I feel like protocol would suggest we give him another two hours.

I'm all for people getting instantly passed over if their clock expired once and they have yet to show up since.

Let's give him an hour instead of another two. If you're still on the hook for one pick when your next one comes up, you'll get an hour. If you're still on the hook for two picks when your third comes up, you'll get skipped instantly.

Also, this means that the two endcap picks (Skitch & Kaius) will technically get three hours before both of their picks are skipped.

This seems fair enough, right?

So Argo can pick at 5:30. And if I'm not here, you've got my round four pick, chud, so we should be able to keep the ball rolling for a bit.

Fine choices.

Also, are you sticking with Ripken? Or did you want to replace him?

Or just biggio if I only get one.

I'd like to replace him. Haven't gotten to read the thread to know if I can.

You can replace him. Also, you were up for two picks, so you get to keep both Biggio and Ichiro.

Thanks chud for helping me out big time. Just about home and I would have had to go through the list and see everything I've missed.

I feel awful about dragging this thing out. It kinda started in a blur. Before I knew it started it was almost my pick. I've been crazy busy all day at work, I'm not trying to ruin this thing. I really hate to be that guy.

Almost home.

yeah, i'm not waiting. if he takes long enough, ripken is just going to be the best player available. I really wanted ichiro, but, i'll instead choose

Jim Thome

basically ichiro's opposite. oh well.

I almost took Nomar last round instead of Sosa because SS is thinner than OF.
