File and pages are up. Next sim is tomorrow, Sunday, morning, a 7-day sim to get us to 9/23/1976; get your exports in by 8:00 AM Eastern.
40-Man Rosters are in effect. Playoff teams (which is most of the league), be aware not to let your starters start #41! 40 GS is OK, 41 GS NOT SO MUCH.
Waiver Trade Deadline is at the end of the regular season.
Just to recap, we have Jeff running the Giants, Tyrone is back running the Expos and Brian is back to take over the Braves next season! I have owners waiting in the wings for the Phillies and Dodgers next season, so we are FULL. If Spencer or any really active owner wants to come here, I'm willing to step down from running Yankees and simply run the league.
Get ready for EXPANSION ... probably a couple weeks from now. Take a look at your 15-man protection lists.
Sometime in August, when it looks like my work load is a little lighter (could change of course), I am going to attempt to re-do the entire CATO database. It got messed up again.
