[USML Announce] Rosters Are Up!

[Mark Blocker]

Thanks.  I think a more accurate subject line would be "Rosters are Mostly
Up," because there are still 7 players missing from the Onroto AL database,
and I have emailed Onroto to ask that they be added (curiously, three of
the seven are the free agents like Lancy Lynn).  Once Onroto adds them, I
will complete the rosters. In the meantime, I am happy to correct any other
items people identify, but until Onroto adds the missing players (and they
usually do this very quickly), no need to let me know that I omitted one of
your players.

Mark B.

P.S. to Frank:  I was very curious about the last player that you drafted
in the rotation draft, but now I understand that the player is from Lane
Tech, which makes total sense.
