[USML Announce] Notice of Hot Wax Seal

[Mark Blocker]

Mark/Doug/others:

 

  I hate to be Johnny One-note here, but this trade was consummated too late
to count towards this week.  As I have been repeatedly warning, the deadline
for roster moves this year is noon EASTERN.  Below I am pasting in the text
of an e-mail I sent on 5/23, just three weeks ago, on this very subject.  I
sent this e-mail after one of the two owners involved in this trade had
missed an earlier deadline.  My own view is that I think we have to enforce
these time restrictions and by mid-June, I think it is fair to expect owners
to know them.  However, if there is unanimous consent among the league to
allow this late trade, I will certainly take the necessary steps to process
it.

Here is the text of my 5/23 e-mail:

 

 

Gang:

 

  As I leaguewide reminder, I wanted to point out the deadlines for
submitting roster and FAAB moves.

 

1.  FAAB:  FAAB bids must be submitted by midnight EASTERN time to be
assured of being subject to the evaluator program.

 

2.  Roster moves:  Roster moves must be entered by noon EASTERN on Sundays.
While I have mentioned this before, I want to remind league members of this
fact because this is a change from long-standing practice.  If you are like
me, you are used to hurrying to get roster moves in before the noon
deadline.  However, because the CBS system uses eastern time deadlines, you
have to hurry to get them in by 11:00 a.m. central.  If you are late, the
system will still process the moves, but it will make them effective the
following week.

 

  Enjoy the long weekend.

 

  -- Mark B.

The Nukes and the Angry Young Men announce the following trade.  To AYM:
Thome, Matsui, Scott, Street.  To Nukes:  Markakis, Zumaya, Ryan, Bowden. 

 

Shableman will not be able to get to his computer, so we will not be able to
complete the transaction electronically by the deadline.  If possible, I'd
like Markakis and Ryan active.  Zumaya and Bowden to reserve roster.
Activate Dellucci and Jeremy Reed at OF and UT.

 

Mark
