there are a few more whom ill need to research unless someone knows, like sammy white, as to whether they'd qualify or not, but they wouldn't be in life draft anyhow.

everyone gets two and two only of these, the only catchers allowed in this league, unless appealed and approved here. beckwith MUST be your starting catcher if you draft him.

[MEAT]

draft underway, mr. regulator has taken mr. balco...barry bonds.

[MEAT]

remember, if you proxy, turn them ON

Catcher issue.

With only 24 available, I don't think it is the right thing to do to force 1 manager to have to use a 5(+2) behind the dish. So, is Beckwith fair game as a position player if picked up in Waivers? What happens if someone gets him in the AD?... whether by choice (drafted him) or by circumstance (given as replacement by HAL)

My thought is that just eliminate that part of the rules concerning starting 1 catcher based on NeL.

[b:4d36a55c0f]NEED TO HOLD DRAFT[/b:4d36a55c0f]

1. Need to clarify the Catcher issue before proceeding.

2. According to the above list, there are not enough SP's to meet the rule. Need to clarify and produce a complete listing of SP as well as RP

3. Also, I will be SHOCKED if we finish by Sunday night. So everyone needs to realize that we are likely to be in a "holding pattern" next week.
