Question ... Am I going crazy, or does the Player Development Budget Baseline, which is usually $10 million, now read $7.5 million?

[Matt]

Nope that was me. I was looking over financials and changed it to match the scouting budget baseline, and forgot to change it back. I was seeing if it changed any of the bottom line numbers.

I was worried that our league was going to self destruct but Brad assured me it was a game flaw not a league flaw. I will change it back. In the end though from reading the manual it doesn't seem to change anything. We are still free to set it at what level we desire.

[Z]

Maybe they ought to match?

[Matt]

I honestly don't see it changing anything. I read from one of the developers you're only allowed to go 3x what it's set at...so that might change something for someone.

It's back at $10m now.

Excited to bring Tom Hau back to Maine.

He won 96 games for the Guides from 2003 through 2009 before leaving as a free agent after suffering a torn labrum in mid-2009.

He was an important piece of our 2006 championship club.

He doesn't project to make the rotation out of camp, but he is around and I'm glad to have him back with the organization.

Sorry about the DFA thing, thought for sure I checked.
