[USML Announce] Multiple Topics!

First, NOTICE OF HOT WAX SEAL:  the Nukes have traded Ian Kinsler and Jomar Reyes to the Berliners for Elvis Andrus and Dalton Pompey.


Second, I don't see why I should be saddled with a position restriction on Andrus.  It's not very likely that he'll play even a single game at 2B (or elsewhere).  This deal was negotiated before the "sanction" was announced, and it won't affect the finality of the deal, but I just don't get how I (or any other subsequent owner) should be affected in any way by Jeff's mistake at the auction.  So, what does everybody else think?

P.S.  I also forgot to give Jeff a check.

Forgot one question.  What's the total fee this year, including charges for the website?  I forgot to leave Jeff a check last weekend.

All,


I've been on the run since draft day, so am writing with a collection of comments on various topics.  


First, draft day was *outstanding* as usual.  It was great to see everyone (and to hear John and Dennis).  Thanks to Jeff for hosting and to Mark B. for handling the logistics.


Second, on the Andrus issue, I completely agree with Mark B.  We had an inadvertent error that could have happened to anyone.  My software also let me slot Bogaerts at 2B, and it's worth noting that despite nine other owners at the draft viewing various lists, magazines, and programs, no one caught the mistake when it happened.  The solution seems appropriate because it relates to the issue -- position eligibility for the two players involved (Andrus and Bogaerts).  FWIW, I disagree with Mark K. about what happens when one of the players changes hands.  Given that we all missed the error -- and given that the idea is to mildly limit the players' values -- I think for this season position eligibility should be limited to SS no matter who owns them.  That said, I don't care enough to argue about it.  So if others agree with Kerber, that's fine by me.  


Third, I want to confirm our normal rule that FAAB bidding starts the weekend after games begin.  That allows 25-man rosters to be set ... and gives us all plenty of time to figure out who is the new closer in Tampa.  (Sorry about Boxberger, Rick.)


Looking forward to another great season -- not to mention good health for all the old guys I drafted!  


-Andy
