The Week Ahead

Remember, final pre-draft rosters are due Friday of this week.

If, like me, you subscribe to and watch games via MLB.com, this Wednesday is the first broadcast.

We should probably go ahead and get rule proposals (if any) written up and put out there for us all to see. We don't need to spend a lot of time at the draft debating issues if we can avoid it. I'll put out an offical proposal for deadlines and a separate one for the consequences of those deadlines. I will not be proposing any rule that deals with the drafting of uncarded players, but if you want to, dive in. We should really get this done ahead of time.

I also think it would be a good thing to go ahead and pick our ballparks now. As always, you can stay where you are, adjust your current park a max of +/-2, or take the new numbers of your current park. This being a presidential election year, you have the added option of taking any of the new parks. Bees, you are first. Go.

Also, I have made a few changes to the website. I'm learning a little bit all the time. I've added some logos to the Contacts page and am currently adding some pictures to various pages. Be sure to print yourself a copy of the schedule. And, as we get closer to draft day, print out a copy of the Draft Grid. There will be major revisions to the Grid after rosters are submitted this weekend.

I'll start...
Wahoos will stay in the adjusted Pittsburgh. Homers for RH will be 1. For LH it will be 5. Singles for everybody will be 17 both ways.

THE SNAKES MOVE INTO 2007 WASHINGTON. EVERYTHING IS 3.

Drillers like the Snake idea. We'll be in the "3" park too.

That new Washington could be interesting this year. Anybody know if the new park in D.C. is gonna be a homer heaven?

Patrick Shannon said...

my understanding is that yes, it will be a bandbox and a homer haven. which means, take it this year and next year you'll have a choice between two entirely different parks. nice situation.

pigs will stay put, but the fences are coming in a bit. singles are still 0/0; homers will be 13/13.

Must be something special about that Washington park. Put the Tweeners there too. 3's company.

Somebody get the HEAD INMATE some more beer. This is going to be a scheduling nightmare.
