Done for Opening Day. Anyone else called up needs to notify me because I won't notice.

[bigmark]

Eichelberger was on that list? I brought him up but made him a reliever. Did the list get updated? I'll make him an so again to get the boost lol

[CSCommish]

Yes, it was Preliminary and then Final, therefore updated.

What you see in the reports is irrelevant, I copied the Opening Day file, and all pitchers with E SP endurance a reliever and all pitchers with D or higher SP endurance a starter and ran the report.

[CSCommish]

Closed.
