- Check all trades.
- Watch your DFA's.

- Don't forget the new rules:

1. Only one Team Option may be used per contract, and it must be in the last year of the contract. This prevents people from stacking Player Options after the Team Option.

2. No contact extensions allowed before 1st arbitration contact.

Syracuse. You had two players who I had to release...and lost about $10m. One refused to be demoted, the other had a major league contract...and no room on your 40 man to move either back to the BLB.

If you want clear two spots and let me know and I will put them back on your team at their salary. I would never do this in-season but with the longer sims I know DFA time gets screwed up.

Former Brawler and Clown left-hander Geoff Ohlinger joined the Guides to round out the bullpen group.

The 27 year old consistently throws fastballs in excess of 100 MPH. He keeps the ball in the park fairly well. Control is the question mark.

If he can keep the ball around the plate, he'll be well worth the $500,000.

Best offers take CF Tyler Roark, TJ DiMaggio, Travis Jimenez before Saturday's sim.

Lindsey - high(er) prospect, young CL or position player, and a pick.

Jones - pick or prospect.

Dugan looks every bit of his listed 250 lb weight.

All's quiet in Pawtucket.
