       Changes 2022
       -Post transaction here and then perform them on Fantrax. Make
       sure they are labeled so we can credit back any moves that
       aren’t add/drops
       -Waivers start on the day of call up.  Conforto will require
       waivers when he joins the 25 man roster. Make claims on Fantrax
       -if you can’t perform something let me or Boris know.
       -Questions concerns should go to Boris or myself. Curt is in an
       advisory role
       - Include any draft picks in trades. To add players or picks to
       trades you have to click the green button.
       -Watch your relief pitchers for starts. How we deal with
       pitchers in the future is up for active debate.
       -Minor leaguers that are dropped will disappear from the pool.
       Please don’t do it on accident.
       -Rosters lock 1 minute prior to the first game.  Any moves after
       that game will be for the next day.

       [quote author=CurtOne]Gore has been sent to the minors.  How
       long?  Don't know.
       Sending Gore to minors, moving Ohtani to SP, picking up Albert
       Pujols at UT.  Designating Sanchez for assignment.  I have 7
       days before I have to drop him or do something with someone
       else?[/quote]
       Pujols?!! Now wait just a dag blamed bloody minute!  Who's been
       making fun of whom for taking old, beat up nursing home guys?

       JR, guess who goes to your nursing home when Ohtani swings back
       to hitting side?

       FYI

       Why would you send Pujols back to the nursing home when he's
       probably now at least the fourth or fifth best player on the
       entire Red Hornets roster?

       DDKs place Moncada on the IL, move Ibanez to 3B and call up
       Julio Rodriguez to the big show.

       Owners, give Joe and Boris time to straighten out kinks, fix
       problems, and correct errors.  We all knew that going to another
       platform could be fraught with terror.  Fantrax seems to think
       that every pitcher is both an SP and an RP.  It's a tough one.
       The game is changing.  We have Openers now; relievers who pitch
       the first couple innings.  We have spot starters who really are
       never in the rotation.  We have guys back from TJS or other
       injuries who move to the pen for awhile.  I know Joe and Boris
       will do their best to be fair and listen to your appeals.
       Another area that might get touchy is waivers.  Keep an eye on
       your waivers.  Fantrax may charge you with a waiver for things
       we don't waivers charged for, like moving a guy off the IL to
       active.   Keep a written record of the times you think you got
       scrued and turn it into one of the guys within a few days so
       they can look at it and fix it.
       Our draft this year was different and I think the guys did a
       great job.  I especially thank the Aussie crew for doing their
       utmost to be ready to pick.  I congratulate JR on his effort to
       overcome ageism in his hiring.  I congratulate tico for
       constantly taking other people's "next on my list."
       Have a good year everybody.  And Matt, be careful who you deal
       with.

       Every move on Fantrax will move down the waiver claim. I will
       adjust the number to the correct number. I know when I did the
       shadow league it didn’t prevent me making moves as a
       commissioner if the number went negative, I’m not sure about
       owners. Moves can be back dated.
       One of the frustrations I always had was getting moves done in a
       timely manner on CBS.  Curt did an amazing job, but it is a lot
       of work. It is really hard to keep up if it is only 1-2 people
       making moves.
       We want to keep the league going, but that is going to mean
       things have to get automated. The rules are complicated so just
       give us time.
       I started a a Winter Meeting topic since we really did any time
       to have one this year and with the lock out. I think one of the
       brightest topics is how we deal with pitchers going forward.
       When this league was started pitcher roles where clearly
       defined. Starters where starters. Relievers where relievers and
       closers where closers. Now unless you are an ace starter or old
       school closer roles are less well defined. We need to come up
       with a better way to deal with pitchers.  Either through
       scoring, definitions, caps or how we list them on the team. So
       please bring your ideas to that topic.
