Draft Lottery

Yesterday was the 2008 Draft Lottery to determine the draft order of the first eight teams in the first round. The big winner was Blue Ridge, who moved all the way up from fourth to first overall. If you checked it out last night, there has been more information added since, so you may want to go back and read up. The Lottery was started five years ago in a way to discourage teams from tanking games in order to get a better draft pick - not that it worked much on Las Vegas or Sardine City. Blue Ridge, with a good potential keeper list already, could really help themselves out with a strong draft, or possibly flip the pick for more draft picks. It should be interesting either way.

Lots of rumors are flying about the Mitchell Report. Many current and former DMBLers are being named, but don't worry, there will be no suspensions from the DMBL front office since steroids are not illegal under the current league constitution.
