The 15th for Las Vegas Sucks!!!

Originally posted by Jackstraw: I've been watching this debate for awhile and I agree with Capt. Hook. The weekend of the 29th is much better I think. Walla, what were the rates for that weekend? The reason for my choice is that it puts us closer to the beginning of the season and a better idea of w...

Originally posted by King of Queens: So to be clear, according to STATS, Wang could be moved from active to reserve anytime between Monday 7pm and tonight when he is activated by the Yankees.

Gaming the system?

Chris, from STATS concerning Wang: If the player is removed from the DL before the Thursday night deadline, then he would not be able to be moved to the bench. Just because he's on the DL at the Monday deadline, doesn't mean he can be moved to the bench on Friday if he's removed from the DL during t...

An Option to Frustration

George, if you are able to recruit enough folks to form a daily transaction NFBC satellite league next year I'll run it. I've already talked with STATS and we certainly can do it. If the demand is there for a private league like this, I'll run it.

Corner and Middle Infielder Eligibility

Correct everyone. He has to play 10 games at one of the corner positions to get eligibility there. CI means he's eligible at either first base or third base. Right now he's not eligible at either position, thus he's not eligible at CI.

Free Agent Rule Change Proposal Feed Back and Input

Kevin, I have no problem with you creating a thread to discuss a rule change, but I guess I better take more time to respond to your e-mails if they are going to be posted everytime on the message boards.
