I opened the league up in Yahoo, and required that interested players e-mail me for details before they could signup. I sent a couple people their prospective team roster and other info.
We now have our tenth player, and he has signed up. This was his note confirming he is in:
Now that the league is full, I will finish entering the players this evening, and we will start a draft of players new to the AL tomorrow evening.My team is 'strike team' -Kyle

That's good news. Cool.
We should suggest he sign up for Redszone so he can have access to this discussion thread and become of part of the community. It will increase the chances of him paying attention all season and playing again next year instead of bailing out after one season.
Save me a decent player for the end of the 1st round.
Sweet! Did you already say what the draft order will be?
Well my fellow AL Dynasty league managers, it is finally time to get this league rolling. We filled our last slot today, so we need to start our slow draft of any players new to the AL. The draft will start at six p.m. eastern time on Thursday March 26th.
I loaded everyone’s team today. If you go to ‘My Team’, and then click on tomorrow’s date, you will see your team at the bottom of the page. You can drop players freely whenever you want. Initially, you can only add players through the draft or a trade.
We will draft in the reverse order of last year’s standings(see below), and this will be a straight draft, not a snake draft. So after pick #10, we go back to the beginning and first pick starts again. This will allow the weaker teams to gain a little parity.
You will have a maximum of 6 hours to pick. If you don’t pick on time, you will be bypassed, but you can still take your pick later when you get a chance. Please try to pick faster than 6 hours, the faster the better. After all, the season starts soon. Remember, our scoring categories are Runs, RBIs, Average, Steals, Homers, Ks, Wins, Saves, ERA, and WHIP.
If any players are dropped before the season starts, I will make them free agents immediately(available to be drafted when it is your turn). After the season starts, there will be a two day waiver claim period in effect. We will draft seven rounds, then open it up for free agent additions.
2009 Draft Order
1. Wrecking Crew
2. The Strike Team
3. GonaDs
4. Bk
5. Lotte Giants
6. Cin-City Redlegs
7. Arod 4MVP
8. Efrat Invaders
9. Montana Mariners
10. Atomic Dumpling

Sweet!
I took Brian Fuentes with 1.10. I guess I don't get to make a second pick since the draft is not a snake draft. Right?

If there are any openings, I'd like to join. I had fun in the NL Only league.
I've got a question. In the RedsZone Dynasty League there's a drop down box on the league home page to make it easy for owners to access the previous season. It only displays the final standings and rosters at the end of the season. But, I was just curious if there was something you had to do for that, since that's not currently on the Al Only home page, and if it would be easy to add. Any idea? If it's a hassle I wouldn't bother but I was just curious.
I'll be back
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

I think we will be needing to find a few new members. We only have 5 or 6 signed up now... Also I had a buddy playing last year and he isn't going to play this year.
