Last pick was made December 31 at 9:28AM.

You made your last post January 1 at 2:05PM.

However, with the holidays going, I think we have a freeze on skippage. So you should have some time to make your pick. Dane can probably better answer that one though.

It's worth nothing that Michael Young won't be eligible at SS in 2010.

At the beginning of the Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball season, Yahoo! Sports placed all players into positions based in part on information from official rosters, but focusing mainly on past performance. Some players appear in multiple position lists and are eligible to fill any of those positions.

Please note the following conditions that apply to a player's position eligibility.

1. A player's position eligibility will not be adjusted prior to the beginning of the season. (If a player in spring training is playing "new" position, that position will not appear until a player has met the criteria for a change.)
2. Players will not lose eligibility at a previously established position at any time. (For example, if a catcher-eligible player begins to play first base exclusively, he will remain eligible at catcher for the entire season.)
3. It is not possible to customize this setting within Custom Leagues. All leagues are subject to the same constraints.

Gaining eligibility at a new position:

If a position player makes five (5) starts or 10 total appearances at a new position during this season, he will become eligible to play that position in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball.

Pitchers need to make three starts to become eligible as a starter and five relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.

To track a player's progress toward eligibility at a new position, go to the Players section and click on Position Eligibility. For each player shown, an "E" means they are eligible at a given position, a "-" means they have not played at that position yet, and a number indicates how many games remain before eligibility is earned.

STFU. Seriously, stop your crying RIGHT NOW, or get out. I'll find someone to replace you.

You honestly make me sick right now to even whine about the amount of time you had to make a pick.

You posted on the 1st how it sucked that a guy you wanted was taken...then it takes you this long to make up your mind? Really? It's bs that I stopped the grace period on January 2nd? I find it bs how much you where trying to find a suitor to trade with out of your spot it seems, bc it shouldn't take you that long to look down your list and make a different selection.

So what you're basically saying is "I didn't get who I wanted, so I'm allowed as much time as necessary to make everything right for me"

People are lucky I allowed ANY time during the holidays, we have never given a grace period before. Don't blame me for your lack or preprataion or sheer laziness.

FYI, my "list" is at work, where I keep track of all the people taken and who's highest left that I need to fill positions. So yeah, it's NOT as easy as you make it. I had to pick players today based on what I could remember. I'm sorry I took so long, but I was not aware how long I had. If someone had said "pick now" I would have. But I ask a question, and get told basically that there is a freeze on picks, and the next time I log on I find out that I've been expired for X days. That is bull. You have to lay out the rules and make it very clear. I'm not on MOTL much during the weekends.

Honestly, if you can't keep calm and composed and unbiased, I'm not even sure you're the best man to run this. It's a game, it's for fun, it's supposed to be among friends. You have no right to "allow" this or make such demands.

If you had not allowed any time during the holidays, that would have been fine, and I would have known to log on to make a pick, just like when I log on to vote for mafia. It's the surprise that was annoying.

He even said "he thinks" and that you would get the best answer from Dane.

I posted not too long after telling you exactly what I knew Dane would say.

At this point I would just let it go.

I'm done. I made my picks and moved on. I was just expressing my opinion.

You get 24 hours from the last pick, so I think you've already gone over that right now.

I'm tired of the 3 year old attitude I get when I try to run these and people don't get their ways, or try and manipulate rules. I now know the pain a Mod must go through on a daily basis when dealing with an entire site, not just one thread.

I'm sorry we couldn't hold up then entire draft forever. You gave me no choice, you didn't ask for a time extension, you just show up and give me a boo-hoo my guys were picked story. Well then ask for more time, and it would have been given. Don't disappear, you leave me no choice. Again, everyone that went over said time is lucky, bc we have never given grace period before.

If you want to cry about how I run things and think it's unfair to you then fine. I've been doing it for close to 6 years now, in multiple leagues.....but I've finally had enough.

Edit: Also, he didn't "randomly" end the grace period.
