15th would be best.



I'm not sure I'd want to take the heat of dropping all that cash AND being gone for Easter in order to do it. That'd be pushing the goodwill envelope at home.





BB

My recollection for the all-time record was in year 1, NL Auction league, after being traded to the NL between auction and opening day, Milton Bradley sold for $953.



B(remembers because people want to know)B

Before you do that please answer my question that starts the "Another Position Eligibility Question" string please.



Thanks,

BB

What you say makes sense but does not necessarily match up with the statements from Greg and Tom saying that positional eligibility will be governed by the lists in the magazines. That is why I asked the question.



Thanks for playing.



BB

I understand that we are responsible for knowing where a player on the 40-man rosters, but not on the eligibility lists quailifies positionally. But I would like to know which takes precedence in the case of an error or omission in your published position lists for players who are included on the li...

And I presume that even if we go to 12 teams, we stay with 24 player rosters, right?



BB

Where is the other league? And how many teams will it have. If it is switching to 12, it will be very irritating to have to switch all cost values and redo all prep work. If that is delayed to tomorrow trying to do it on the fly while traveling is even worse. I have been signed up for an auction lea...

You are correct, but I'm surprised that you say that Greene and Phillips aren't on 40-man rosters. Is that true? [/QB]I don't know whether they are really on 40-man rosters, but I know they are not on your published lists linked in this thread.



BB

Since I am slow, let me parrot back my understanding of what this thread says and then Greg and Tom can correct me if I am wrong. As I read it: 1. The two pages of eligible players linked to the first note in this thread, including the 30 additional names listed at the bottom right of the NL page, c...

Originally posted by Tom Kessenich: Bruce, I just went to your home page, clicked on Roster and your lineup appeared. Everything looked good for me. All I did was click on your team page, click Rosters and everything was good to go as far as setting your lineup. I'm afraid what you see doesn't help ...

Psssst! Saves, ERA and stolen bases are all scored categories. Are you punting all three?

Originally posted by Sack: I bid $951 for Bradley. . . . Hey Sack, In all the furor I missed telling you that I admired the all-in effort. Sorta like pushing all your chips to the center of the table on the first hand. Good show! B(Not that I'm hoping it works out for you, of course, but it was a mo...

Originally posted by superpion: BB, Have you ever heard of limitations of technology? . . . There is no ideal answer to this but obviously a judgment call was made to sift through this gray area.

I protest the ad hoc changing of the rules via email -- I refer, of course, to the extension of the FAAB period for the NL Auction league by an email sent some time after the time for bids to be submitted had expired. What are we supposed to do, hang by our emails 24 hours a day in case someone ther...

I see I got in a league where none of the message board junkies are!



Anyone think I can get A-Rod or Pujols at 11th?! I guess I don't count as a message board junkie?
