I'm back.

My schedule has been greatly lightened so I asked Dennis to consider me for readmission to the league if there were any openings. Dennis told me that I'm replacing Paul, who Dennis said has a lot on his plate right now. Ironically, Paul replaced me a couple of seasons ago. The team sure looks a lot different from when I gave it up!

This is a league full of good managers and, more importantly, good people, and I'm grateful and honored to have been readmitted to the league. Hopefully, my schedule will permit me to hang around a little longer this time. I don't think I'll have 2 kids getting married, as I did this past Summer, any time soon, especially since my wife and I only have 3 kids total!

Before I post my keepers, since I'm not privy to league mail, I have some questions:

1. Will this be a no DH league?
2. Will divisions remain the same as last season?
3. Since my team had the league's worst record, does it pick first in the Diamond Dope draft?

Please let me know so that I can get my keepers posted and the league can get rolling. Thanks. - Bernie

Welcome back Bernie! It is always great having you in the league. I like going against great managers, and you're one of the best.

I can't answer all of your questions, but this is what I know:

$20 mil in keepers. DH, and $110 mil salary cap.

I'm assuming that we'll re-arrange divisions (at least I hope so).
