    You have to switch to pitchers or hitters to have this, but it's there.
    Thanks Ed...that helps.

      Are you sure?

      Fresno Bob drafted Hamilton, Billy OF - CIN (Timer expired - player was auto-picked) (7:02:13 PM)
      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

        Interesting.

        In the Commissioner settings, I have "Skip Pick if Timer Runs Out (Beta)" checked off, and this is a setting only available in premium leagues. We were supposed to have a "premium league." So I guess either the Beta is not working, or we're not a premium league like we expected.

        I sent our Fantrax contact an email to see why it would have done this.

          Tim from Fantrax says the function is probably not working, so be wary folks! If you time out you'll get the top guy on the board if you don't have your queue set!

            I had Hamiliton in my queue, and maybe he was all that was left when I timed out

              You would have taken him anyway, since he's going to be the Giants centerfielder this year.

                He'll have 20+ triples and still put up a sub .320 OBP, I'm holding out for Cain, but would take a cheap Dyson

                  Another minor UI tweak, assuming Tim's still reading - right now it always has the Draft plus sign and the Queue arrow, but the Draft button just says "sorry, it's not your turn" when it isn't. Maybe hide that button entirely when it's not your turn?

                    Yes, and add a "Queue" button on the same page. Minor stuff, but it's the creature comforts that will sell the product.

                    Also, my draft room doesn't automatically update if I leave it up for a couple of hours...I use Chrome, if that matters.

                      A couple more notes: the "score" thing is steadily getting worse (it currently thinks 52 of the next 56 picks should be pitchers and that Adam Jones is worse than RA Dickey). I think it might just be that it has this concept of scoring and thinks that an 80 pitcher and an 80 hitter should go at the same time, but for some reason the distribution for hitters is very different than for pitchers.

                      Also, if a player has multiple positions that are all in the infield, it shows all of them, but if a player has IF and OF qualification it only shows the infield positions in the draft room. The players do show up when you filter by outfield though, so it's just a display bug.

                        I completely ignored score from the start. It was never a valid indicator.

                          oh sure. I'm just commenting from the position of a beta tester.

                            Billy was the top of my queue I think when that happened

                              It's still interesting if there's actually an option to skip instead of autopick when the timer expires and it's not doing that.

                                I'm curious why a league would ever want to do that. Seems much more appropriate to take from the top of the list.
