ST Completed! OPENING DAY WEDNESDAY EVENING!!!

[CSCommish]

File and pages up; we are ready to begin our 24th season. Please get your exports in by WEDNESDAY EVENING at 8:00 PM Eastern. It will be a double-sim, as per usual.

Remember, you get TEN (10) points for the Opening Day Export! However, please do not claim it yet; Dave will tally up the FA Exports, ST Points, Ammy Points, and OD Export and add to each team's bank AFTER the Opening Day Sim!

Break, please check every team's development log and make sure any relievers who learned how to start were legal (must have had "A" duration prior to ST sim) and that no single player lost their ability to field a single position (although it is kinda moot now in the AL)

Once the Opening Day Sim is run, I will send the 1976_OD file to Trevor to run the Fan Expectations.



As far as points, the following teams MUST spend their excess points as follows, by the time I run the Opening Day sim. If not, I will spend them as I see fit.

BAL - 171 - Spend 21
NYA - 182 - Spend 32
CHA - 185 - Spend 35
CAL - 221 - Spend 71
MIN - 198 - Spend 48
OAK - 191 - Spend 41
ATL - 165 - Spend 15
MON - 232 - Spend 82
PHI - 218 - Spend 68
CHN - 152 - Spend 2
PIT - 239 - Spend 89
STL - 151 - Spend 1
LAN - 170 - Spend 20
SDG - 210 - Spend 60

Went to an awards ceremony last night, got home late. Started to do RC's but running out of time to go to work. Need the following teams to do spending, though 2 of the teams are unowned at the moment:

BAL - 171 - Spend 21
OAK - 191 - Spend 41
MON - 232 - Spend 82
PHI - 218 - Spend 68
PIT - 239 - Spend 89

I am planning to do the following spending, unless otherwise posted before tonight (FYI, I have a board meeting tonight, so it will be late as well):

BAL - SP John Fulgham Avoiding Walks to Good: 50 pts
OAK - LF Rickey Henderson Home Runs to Good: 50 pts
MON - SP Rick Sutclife Avoiding Walks to Good: 50 pts; SP Santo Alcala Avoiding Walks to Good & SP Duration to D: 65 pts
PHI - SP Mike Norris Avoiding Walks to Good: 50 pts; OF Rick Manning Walks to Average: 30 pts
PIT - 2B Chris Speier Hits to Good: 60 pts; C Gene Tenance Catcher Range to B: 30 pts

Need exports from a couple owned teams, such as CIN, PIT and HOU. I will take care of MON/PHI.

50 points to someone who can find me an owner to sign up for either the Expos or Phillies!

I am good with the Fulgham rating change.
