Greetings;
I don't want to commit to tinkering one way or the other, but I would like to advocate for an 11th team. Unfortunately, the fellows I know who would be an involved owner are already committed for this year. What are the chances that one of you fine gentlemen would be able to scare up such a committed owner on short notice? Where have you gone, Brad Jansen?
Thanks,
Rick

> propose we move roster freeze day to midnight on the 18th, in case people
> are busy at work during the week. That deadline would still give owners two
> full weeks from the draft to adjust their strategies.
>
> 3. Draft location: More to come shortly.
>
> 4. Adjustments to Rules: Given the loss of one team and its 23 active
> roster players, we may wish to consider the following adjustment to our
> rules for this season:
>
> Active Roster size: 25 (one additional pitcher and hitter - U) Reserve
> roster size: 18 Cap/ceiling ? 380/220
>
> I am not seeking to impose this. I have discuss this with one other
> owner, and it at least merits some discussion.
>
> This is all for now. Please comment on issues raised above.
