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).

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.
