Pushing back the drafts?

[New York Yankees]

Guys,

I would like to get input concerning pushing back the beginning of the draft date due to the ESPN site being down, if it isn't back up by Feb. 1st.

I feel it negatively impacts the ability to know who is available, especially for the MLB draft. We could go ahead and start the MiLB draft and just push back the MLB draft as an option.

It shouldn't effect the MiLB much at all. Most MiLB players won't be in the ESPN database.

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

I can't remember. Did this happen last year as well? We might have to change our draft dates and either make them earlier or later than early February. Otherwise we'll keep running into this minor annoyance year after year.

No they shut down the site later last season...we had already drafted.
