Schedule Proposal

I know we don't want to spend time at the Draft (assuming it ever gets here) talking about rules, so here's my proposal now for deadlines for playing games. I presented this last fall, and it's basically the same, but I'm adding a schedule for this year.

The games played per month are: 20-20-25-25-25-25-22

Game Schedule Proposal

All dates are the first Sunday in each month. The deadline on those Sundays is 10:00PM (Central Time).

2016
May 1 - 20 games played
June 5 - 40
July 3 - 65
August 7 - 90
September 4 - 115
October 2 - 140
November 6 - 162

Starting in 2017 (Dates of 1st Sunday will vary year to year)
April 2 - 20
May 7 - 40
June 4 - 65
July 2 - 90
August 6 - 115
September 3 - 140
October 1 - 162

Transactions

The Wahoos released Kyle Blanks, Austin Jackson, Jordy Mercer, Mike Morin, Seth Smith, Dale Thayer, and Kyle Zimmer.

The SuperGoofs released Jesse Chavez, Josh Hamilton, and Hyun-jin Ryu.

The Mavs traded picks 3 and 38 to the Warpigs for picks 6 and 32.

The Warpigs traded Victor Martinez to the Drillers for Yasmany Tomas.

The Buckeyes released Jayson Werth and Mark Appel.

The FFTs traded picks 115, 163, and 179 to the Warpigs for Scott Van Slyke and pick 144.

Happy Easter!

By the time we draft, it will be 11 months since the Buckeyes last played a game. (text message from the little Wahoo)

Final Pre-Draft Rosters

Final Pre-Draft Rosters are due April 1st.

The easiest thing (for me) would be if you list your complete roster and add a comment like "My roster as listed now is good except drop these two guys" or something like that.

And be sure to check your roster after I make your changes to confirm it's correct.

By the way... let's NEVER draft in April again. The waiting is torture.

Transactions

The Wahoos traded picks 45, 61, and 65 to the Rhinos for picks 4, 116, and 117.

Transactions (Country Breakfast edition)

The Mavs traded Billy Butler to the FFTs for a 2017 8th round pick.

Transactions

The Tweeners released Kevin Quackenbush and Zach Duke.

The Warpigs released Michael McKenry.
