A few things to consider before we start the new year:
1. We need a replacement manager and mlbphan has already thrown in his hat. What is the procedure for replacing managers?
2. This is our fourth year, so you are free to redraft your stadium if you so choose, but you must drop your stadium prior to the spring FA Draft to participate in the stadium draft.
3. Prospects drafted in 2018 must be promoted or released.
4. Each team needs to get down to a MLB roster size of 30 before the draft.
5. Prospect Roster size is limited to 10.
Shall we start a roll call?

1. Procedure? what procedure. Generally speaking most league will run a "Looking for a Manager" thread, which we don't need to do if mlbphan is stepping in. ( Highly recommend him BTW). the only other issue, is usually the new manager is allowed to change stadiums if so desired. that it. All previous deals were with the team so the new manager has to follow any trades that were done by the previous manager.
2. Not sure what being our 4th year has to do with stadiums, the rules state we can draft a new one every year.
3 & 4 are tied together, you need to be at 30 prior to the draft, so your promotions all should be done with the cuts and the end result of promotions and cuts is a roster of no more than 30 prior to the draft starting. No holding of promotions to use in place of a draft pick.
5. no one has 10 prospects. the most anyone has is 7.
Any way. I'm in.
