[USML Announce] USML - Summary of Various Issues

Sun Mar 9 21:06:25 EDT 2008

Happy B-day, Andy. ?Mine was just a couple of weeks ago and it was also NOT a major event. ?However, at my age, I try to keep them as quiet as possible in hopes that if I ignore them they'll go away. ?If I have a birthday next year, it will be 50, but I'm thinking of not having one.

One question about the roster move--if this were Brad, we'd have stuck him with it as his 17.2 waiver, right? ?Just wanted to be sure I understood how we do this.

Mark

Suffice it to say the the Professor's birthday does not constitute a
major holiday in the Klein household.

I appreciate the application of the "benevolent Commissioner(s)" rule.?
Emil Brown immediately moves to the bubble ...

Klein a break on this one, because today is, after all, his birthday.?
Happy Birthday, Professor.? Hopefully your birthday is a bigger event
at your house than my birthday is at the Blocker household !

I
would petition for grace on my waiver of Hansen, as I thought he was a
+3.? I think others have received similar consideration over the years

League: 

??????? I want to finalize three
items: (1) the miscellaneous roster moves that were made late Friday or
in the flurry of e-mail on Saturday; (2) the deadline for Section 17.2
free waivers (the so-called Dump-A-Dog), and (3) the final money check.

1.????? Miscellaneous Roster moves

??????? Here is my understanding
of the last-minute roster moves I received.? Let me know if I am
leaving anything out. 

??????? a.????? Calamari:? retain
Slowey instead of M. Redmond 

??????? b.????? Hoosiers: retain
Buerhle instead of Youkilis 

??????? c.????? Klein Nine:? waive
Craig Hansen (section 17.2 waiver) 

2.????? Dump-A-Dog Deadline 

??????? The deadline for
submitting free drops will be this Wednesday, March 12, at 5:00 p.m.
central.? I am assuming Klein?s release of Craig Hansen counts as
his 17.2 waiver, but let me know if that is mistaken.

3.????? Final money check 

??????? Here is the finalized
version of the money check, with the corrections noted yesterday? :

AYM - 14/159 

    Bombers - 14/192 

    Brats - 14/189 

    K 9 - 14/174 

    Lake M. Calarmari ? 15/201 (corrected)

    GOP - 14/162 

    RipTorns - 14/187 

    Red Hots - 14/192 

    Nukes - 14/217 

    Berliners - 14/198 (corrected) 

    Hoosiers - 14/177 

??????? I will circulate
instructions for draft day in the near future.
