- 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.

[Matt]

Please make sure your league file has the latest trades...PHI/PIT and PIT/TOR.

Thanks.

Thank you, Matt. I didn't even realize there was a sim today.

Hey ....my new kid 1B Pat Howell is a top 100 prospect!!!


Well that's nice.

Damn OF Terry Mast retired after not receiving a contract. I've wanted to bring him on and create the bash brothers with Dunn but it's a pipe dream now.

This is why we need the Micro Brew Independent League!

If I had a DH spot, he would have been in DC.

Excited to see where former Bat Tyler McLouth will end up. According to the Off-Season center page Dallas, Los Alamos, Maine and Windy City have expressed interest.

Pistol Eron Deleon announced his retirement. Never a great defensive backstop, but one hell of an offensive catcher. Cheers, Pistol.

He was a great Tob. Was happy to have him in Los Lunas for a little bit.

The era of super offensive catchers is beginning to close. Remember when there were so many?

[Sully]

Pistol was a beast. I remember wondering if Liquid was going to draft him first overall, so I could get Gaston. Worked out for both of us.

A throw-in to to make the salaries work in the Washington-Los Angeles Travis DuFour deal of 2007, "Pistol" went on a tear in that half season in DC. It was only 68 games but his .900 OPS was the third best mark of his career.

I guess I've been here long enough to know some of these retirements.

Will we be able to adjust our scouting/PD tomorrow or is today our last day?
