[USML Announce] USML - Rosters announcements

[MBBlocker at aol.com]

League:
 
  All of the retention rosters have now been entered into the league  
website, so if you go to the web page, you can see and print the retention  rosters 
for each team.  As in the past, I would appreciate if each owner  can verify 
that I have properly entered their own roster, and look for any  errors in the 
rosters of other teams if you can.
 
  Two issues arose during entry.  Please help me  resolve/confirm.
 
1.  Angries:  Joey Gathright was not activated last year, and his  2005 
contract status on the website was listed as "0".  However, because he  had more 
than 150 ABs, he becomes a Y2, not a Y1.  Doug had him listed as a  Y2 in the 
e-mail he circulated containing his retention roster, so I  believe he agrees, 
but I wanted to confirm.
 
2.  Nukes:  J. Clement shows up on the system as a Y2.  The  website contains 
a function that automatically rolls over contract status, and  his status was 
automatically rolled over to a Y2.  I cannot detect  why.  I looked in the 
transaction archives from last year and could not  find any transaction in which 
he was activated.  Mark Kerber had him listed  as a contract status "0" in 
his e-mail containing his retention roster.  I  am inclined to return Clement's 
contract status to "0" so please let me know if  you are aware of some reason 
that should not be done.
 
  Finally, our league rules permit one free drop of a retained player  (Rule 
17.2).  However, for our purposes (i.e., in a pre-opening day draft),  the 
date is to be set "by agreement."  Because the purpose of the free-drop  rule was 
to permit a waiver near in time to the draft based on information  acquired 
after opening day rosters were set, I propose that we set the free-drop  
deadline close to draft day.  Specifically, I propose the free drops be due  by 
midnight, on Wednesday March 29.  Please let me know if  you do not think this is 
the right date to use.
 
  Let me know if you have any questions.
