Official Very Small Rocks 2012-13 Draft Thread

We will have two threads for the draft. This thread will only be for picks, not any extraneous banter. I'll create a second thread for the VSR 2012-13 draft banter. This is where we say, Arrrrggggh! Curses to ______ for picking the player I was just ready to select!

We have the draft order selected which I'll post in a minute.
We will start the VSR 2012-13 draft on August 6, whenever Top Shelf makes the first pick.
After the first pick, the FPL player list will be frozen for the purposes of this draft. Any subsequent additions to the FPL database are not elligible to be drafted and will have to wait until the expiration of the 24 hour delay after the last pick for the start of the post-draft, pre-season squad adjustment period which is on a first come, first served basis. The VSR League forum in FPL is where all post draft squad adjustments will be made. In the event two managers vie for the same player, the one with the earlier time stamp gets the player.

I'm not quite sure we have all the contact info for the proxy pickers. I think tarvinidos will be ChrisSuttonsSlippers primary proxy picker, but I think Vegas2U might also be a proxy picker. For tarvinidos and vegas2u, please make sure that the managers who pick before and after ChrisSuttonsSlippers have your contact info and your preference for how to be notified that it's time to make the next proxy pick for ChrisSuttonsSlippers as he toils away on his cruise.

I have updated the FPL Roster List on the VSR G-Doc - this is the frozen list. The 6th sheet in has a copy that is "protected", which means that no one can make any changes to it (other than me). There is a duplicate copy that is the 3rd sheet, and states "Mark Here", which is where you can identify the players selected. I've gone ahead and marked the first three picks. It is your choice as to whether you continue with this format or a modified one.

I figured those three would be gone - give me 20-30 minutes to figure this out, have a quick work call and then will pick
