What about everyone's favorite clubhouse guy, Alex Sanchez, picked up on waivers by SF (I think).

Just so everyone knows, we won't add everyone who's brought up. But if we missed what we can consider an obvious choice we'll add him.

The AL & NL only drafts go deep, as you know. All on my list are reasonable reserve draft picks.

I talked to Greg and we added some of the players on your list and I appreciate you bringing them to our attention. But as I said earlier we aren't going to add every player that somebody mentions, no matter how strongly they may feel. We're adding quite a few already but not everyone will be added.

I would add Wade Miller (Cubs) to the list.

Tom/Greg - I presume you are still including ALL players on the teams' 40 man rosters. That does include ML players on the 15 Day DL (but not 60 or 90).

Not sure of Wade Miller's current status, but he should definitely be included.

Flying Pigs - many of those you mention are already on the 40 man rosters and should be on the list. BUT the lists are more than deep enough for the AL and NL auction leagues.
