[USML Announce] Money Check!

Fri Apr 6 10:51:15 EDT 2007

Arias does not appear on the Rangers 25 man roster.  Should we deduct the
$2?

The second Section 16.3 of our rules suggests that we should.

The cumulative salaries of players protected immediately prior to the
Auction shall be deducted from the team's $260 expenditure limit, as well as
any amounts deducted in accordance with Section 16.6
<http://www.usml.net/rules.html#Section 16.6> , with the balance remaining
available for the acquisition of the remaining players needed to complete
the team's Active Roster. However, the salary of a player protected on
Roster Freeze Day (assuming that such player remains on a team's Active
Roster or Reserve Roster on Draft Day) shall not be deducted from the $260
limit if, on Draft Day, such player is not on an American League team's
major league roster or disabled list and such player has not completed his
first "season" within the meaning of Section 16.2
<http://www.usml.net/rules.html#Section 16.2> . 

I don't think we've ever had a situation where a reserved player with major
league rookie status whose USML contract wasn't running started the year on
the disabled list.  I've always wondered if there was a "major league
disabled list" as opposed to a "minor league disabled list."  Arias did have
a few major league at bats last year -- I'm not at all sure if he was
expected to be at the major league level if healthy.

I don't have strong feelings either way on this one and could certainly
accept dealing with this situation by allowing the Brats to not pay the $2.
If we require the Brats to pay $2 then I think we need to start Arias'
contract as well -- all of which seems odd.

As for my reserves, Erbe and Maybin are $2 and Reimold is $5.

Thanks.  Didn't have V-Mart on the Brats' roster, which John wouldn't
appreciate.

Three quick questions.

1.  For the Brats:  Arias is DL, not yet assigned to AAA.  I think that
means they have to pay the 2 bucks, which would make them 15-175.

2.  For the Red Hots, what are the salaries for Rich's beans -- Maybin,
Erbe, Reimold.

3.  I still get 183 for Hoosiers.  My roster shows Hernandez (15), Youkilis
(11), Ellis (2), Kinsler (2), Ibanez (19), Erstad (8), Granderson (6),
Dice-K (2), Verlander (2), Papelbon (10).  That's a total of 77 spent.
Where am I off?

  As usual, you're slightly off.  Here are proper balances, in proper alpha
order:

AYM     126 (Kenny on DL) for 15
Brrrrrliners   209 for 14
Bombers  201 (Lee on DL)  for 16
Flaming Brats  177 for  15 
    Arias is a minor leaguer
Hoosier Dads 181 for 13
Klein 9  157 (Dotel on DL) for who cares
LMC     186 for 15
MRH     161 (Wang DL) for 16
Nukes 183 (payton and Timlin DL; League either DL or minors) for 18 
Repubs    166 (Figgins and Weaver DL) for 17
Rippers    241 for 17
