Here's the rule regarding the time you have to cut back to 40:
[quote:da88f261f5] In the event a transaction sends an owner's roster above the 40 man limit, said owner is allowed 1 day to release as many players as necessary to get back to the 40 man limit.[/quote:da88f261f5]
BUT...we need to freeze trades so I can get out an updated roster out for the draft.
HOWEVER...ineluki did not submit cuts. Much as I hate to bend the rules for one person, we will give him until Sunday 11:59 PM to do it. And I think there should be some penalty involved--I'll take suggestions on what that should be.
In the meantime, we will allow trades to be announced until that same deadline. After that, trades can still be made, but not become official until the draft begins. [/quote]

PACIFICA trades RP-L.Gregerson to LitAngel for RUSS1409 2011 2nd Rd Prosect Pick (#5 currently in 2nd rd).

LitAngel to confirm.

Thanx,
RP

BTW--this brings my predraft roster to the required 30 limit giving me 10 picks in the 2011 FA Draft. (with 4 picks in prospect draft)

litangel is having a problem posting on the site, but he confirmed the trade with me.

Can someone tell me what ballpark I am in.

Thanks,
John

John,

Your ballpark was Wrigley. Billy can correct me if I'm wrong, but we usually let new players choose a new park that isn't already taken. You can also change stadiums once every three years, if your stadium no longer suits your team.

Here are the currently taken stadiums:

John - Wrigley
WPWangfuddle - US Cellular
Steve Davis - Comerica
Litangel - Great American
RZepernick - Progressive Field
Ineluki - Yankee Stadium
Thisisray - Chase field
BillyV - Camden Yards
Russ1409 - Minute Maid
ndowdy - PNC Park
JayW - Miller Park
Rick P - Citizen's Bank

[CaliENGR]

PACIFICA is going to change it's stadium before the start of our new season. Looking to move out of the 'Bank'.

thanx,
RP

Trade possibilities:

I just traded for Gregorson, a top 10 reliever. He has a great whip but gives up some BPHR. I would trade him for a similar quality reliever who has a slightly higher whip and gives up less BPHR. This would be a good trade for a manager in a neutral or pitcher's park. I would laso be willing to trade Gregorson for an outfielder who hits righties well.

Also if you are looking or lefties, I would be willing to trade Bumgarner, or possibly even Sabathia for a righty of similar talent and future.

Also willing to trade a balance outfielder (Zobrist, Kearns) for someone of similar value that is a good candidate to platoon against righties.

With regard to changing stadiums it's basically first-come first-served up until the season starts. So John, Rick and anyone else can post their choice.
[quote:868a208bd8]The stadium change must be made when there is no season in progress. Changes can be made first come, first served, by posting a notice on the message board. Players may trade stadiums with other players at any time except while a season is in progress.[/quote:868a208bd8] [/quote]

I have emailed the updated rosters to everyone. [i:6362a1f185]Please check and see if there are any errors on your team.[/i:6362a1f185]
I show John Then as actually having 31, and therefore needing to cut one more.
I show everyone else at the minimum or below, including Russ and Neil at 25, Steve at 28 and Rog and Jay at 29.
In order to accomodate others, I scheduled the draft for this Friday, though I myself will be going out of town. Hopefully, I'll have no problems drafting, but I know I won't have time to get out a list of available players. Maybe WP will, but if not, we've drafted before without a list. I am posting a list of all the cuts so you can find them in one place if you want to pick up any of them.
