Draft Lock: Please note, when you select a draft option and are given a handful of prospects to choose from, you will have 20 minutes where you will have exclusive rights to draft those prospects. After that period expires, it is possible that another team is granted the option to draft that prospect. Some users are reporting draft candidates disappearing very quickly. (5 minutes) It hasn't happened to me but I've seen it reported in the draft thread many times now. I just thought I'd log it here as a possible bug. Thanks.

The bug may take some time to track down and fix. And then maybe the time can be reset to something other than 20 minutes...the owner/users can give input if a discussion is held.

Clicked on him to see his profile went back to the draft page to select him and he was gone. This is the player: http://brokenbat.org/player/312850 Updated Friday, June 3 2022 @ 6:36:03 am PDT

I hit the back button and tried picking him again and got him just fine.
