    no, cactus is #1 cause he had last choice round 1 and it goes in ascending order based on that. because you made the most recent transaction, you go to the end.

    Oh, ok. But the initial draft rankings were generated randomly, right?

    Yup, some days you just won't have a full roster playing, but everybody will be dealing with that. Some days you won't have a player that fits into an open roster spot, and other times you will have multiple players playing that day at the same position. But that's also where the Utility position comes into play. You can put any player in the Utility position, regardless of what his 'normal' fielding position is. That;s where you would stick your best player that you don't have an open spot for that day.

    Even people that have played before make dumb moves sometimes

    Like I said, don't worry about not having someone to fill a position every day because everyone will have the same problem certain days during the season. The easiest way to make sure you have a good team is to be diverse...you don't want too many position players all from the same team, because when that team has an off day, then you have a lot of players not playing that day.

    Exactly....if you drop someone good just so you can pick up someone to fill an open roster spot, then another team will most likely swoop in and claim him off waivers (which I believe is either 2 or 3 days).

    Yup, Yahoo randomly set the draft order....or else I would have Pujols on my team right now if I set it

    Exactly....the waiver priority will change throughout the season depending on who makes claims for players on waivers at the time. Every time you make a waiver claim and you successfully claim that player, you automatically go to the back of the list.

    As dee said, initially it was set by the draft order....the exact opposite of the way the order was for the draft.
