we will do cuts/promotions on a new thread. just waiting for the last 3 votes before progressing.

have sent votes 2X YES < YES < YES

weird willmurr. I didn't receive them. and they didn't go to spam folder. Check and make sure you are sending them to pnhlong@cox.net


anyway, thank you for putting them down here. just needed one more yes vote for the 2nd proposal to pass and now we can move on.

all 3 proposals passed. I will send out total votes/results later....but wanted to move on to the next phase.

Next we will be listing our cuts/promotions. During this phase you must cut down to 15-20 players. You must keep at least 15 and no more than 20. This includes any Prospects that you are calling up/promoting to the roster.

Also during this phase you must announce which prospects you are cutting if you have enough prospect draft picks to put you over the limit of 6 prospects. This is due to proposal #3 which passed (listed below). Proposal #2 also passed (which increases the prospect max to 10 starting NEXT year)

Proposal #3: I also propose that teams should have to announce prospect cuts prior to the 2017 prospect draft, so that other teams will have the option of drafting those players this year. If you have 4 prospects and 4 picks this season, you either have to cut 2 prospects or forfeit 2 picks prior to the draft taking place.


I will start a new thread where you can list your Keepers and Cuts and promotions and prospect drops.

Trade announcement:

GBrookes trades Brandon Phillips to heekin for heekin's second round FA pick this year.

Heekin to confirm.

Heekin agrees that the second round FA pick being traded to GBrookes is the higher second round pick, which is heekin's original second round FA pick.

Heekin to confirm.

(Thanks heekin and thanks to PaulLong71!).

Confirmed. I surrender my 2nd Round (higher pick #28) to G Brookes in exchange for Brandon Phillips 2B (and 3 of his "Debbies" lol If you know Dat Dude BP).

Note: I will have to cut Xavier Cedeno to get back to 20. I will edit the roster post.
