<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">It pains me to say that I will no longer be able to participate in this year's draft due to some wedding planning scheduling conflicts that have come up. I am working on finding a draft proxy, but if anyone has
other ideas or suggestions, I am open to hearing them. My other option was to back out of the league, but given that I have every top prospect in the AL, that seems silly.</div>
