[USML Announce] USML - Summary of Various Issues

Sun Mar 9 21:12:17 EDT 2008

Happy belated birthday, Mark.  Pass around the correct date of your February b-day and I will make a note of your Big Day.

As for your question, if it were Brad, it would have counted as his 17.2 AND we would have deducted the salary.  Until recently such treatment was mandated by Section 18 of the Constitution, although I recently notice that our Constitutional scholar appears to have "tinkered" with that section (and the historian in me suspects the change is less than a year old).

  -- Mark B.

	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 ...

		I would also be willing to give 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.
