[springkerb at aol.com]

I'm rather surprised that Blocker is conceding second place to Jansen.? What is this, another Drive for Five?

Mark and Mark:

??I am not at all proposing mid-week FAAB action.??I only wanted to state that FAAB should not?go forward until after the AL teams set their 25-man rosters.? I do suppose that in theory a team can place a bid whenever it wanted;?what we care about is when the results are posted, namely on Saturday so participating teams can adjust their rosters for the?following week.

? In any event, we do agree on this issue, if not on the season's likely runner-up.

Regards,

Brad?

Whoa, there, Mr. Future Runner Up.? When you say the first FAAB activity should by established in the "early part of the following week," surely you are not contemplated mid-week FAAB bidding, which we have never done.? If so, I do not think we can or should do that.? I agree with Buddha; we should have the first FAAB bidding after 25-man rosters are set.? We can allow roster moves effective 4/5.

Dear League:

Buddha's point is taken, and it's taken well.

?Accordingly, I vote as follows:

?? 1.? Teams can adjust their current rosters (as I see some already have) with moves effective noon Sunday, 4/5.

??? 2. The 1st FAAB activity?should be established the early part of the following week when AL teams have finalized their 25-man rosters.?So, if we have time limits similar to last season, a player acquired via FAAB cannot be activated until noon, Sunday, 4/12.

??????? Q: under new site if we waive a player?and are entitled to FAAB reimbursement, must MBB manually add dollars back to our budget.? It's never too early to plan ahead.

I guess that makes sense if the pool would still include players who are essentially minor leaguers. ?But we still need to set a "reporting period" so we can adjust our rosters with activate/reserve moves.

I do not think we should have any FAAB until the following week......rosters will be at 30 players still. ?What is the harm in waiting 1 week? ?Let the voting begin.
