Yeah me too! The best time of year is just around the corner.
Right now I am doing a slow draft for a dynasty league composed of fantasy baseball experts from all over the Internet including most of the big baseball websites. It is a blast.
I just finished a dynasty slow draft myself and am eager to do more
Okay, can someone explain how the draft works? I've got the first pick. Where do I announce it?

We announce the picks both here and on the league webpage. You can then add the player you drafted and drop a player in need be to keep your roster size legal. You would announce your pick as follows:
1.1 Lou Gehrig
Drop Wally Pipp
It is pretty easy. You create a new post on the message board on the Yahoo league website. As reds1869 mentioned, the title of your post would be "1.1 Lou Gehrig, drop Wally Pipp".
If you have an open roster slot you won't have to drop anyone to make the pick.
After you post the pick on the message board, you go to the Free Agent list and add your newly drafted player to your team.
Then you come back here to discuss the draft.
The complete draft rules are posted above in post #27 of this thread. It should answer all your questions, but feel free to ask anything here.
Great, thanks guys. Sorry, didn't realize that all the draft rules were pasted here.

Still fielding offers for the #1 overall pick BTW. Tanaka is available and will most likely be my pick if I don't trade.

I am still looking to deal a SP or two for position player help. Please let me know if you are interested.
I've got the 2nd pick, but it's a hard bargain. I need offensive help. I'm probably going young with my pick if I don't trade out. I'll deal any player, no one is untouchable as well.
This is a reminder that the draft timer starts tomorrow at Noon!
You can post your pick before then if you like (if it is your turn, obviously) but the 10-hour timer won't start until Noon.
Remember you cannot trade your pick once you are on the clock because it causes delays in the draft.
1.1 Byron Buxton (OF, Twins)
“Every level he goes to, he is going to compete. They will know who he is at every level he goes to.” -- ED on EDLC
Well............that changed my pick.
1.2 Masahiro Tanaka (SP, Yankees)
Nice start to the draft gentlemen. I anticipated those first two picks to be reversed but I like this better!
Make sure to:
1. Post your pick on the message board on the Yahoo league homepage.
2. Add your players to your team after you post your pick.
