File and pages are up; the deadline for roster moves, extensions, releases and reward camps is SATURDAY NIGHT at 8:00 PM EASTERN. I will reverse the career-enders, if there are any, as well. The actual flip will probably be a couple hours later as it takes time to do so.
The off-season is going to take a little longer than usual as I need to do the ammy players. Darryl is working on the 1981 file for me. Matt, let me know if you want 1982.
Dave/Mark, do yo jobs!

The American League Cy Young Award winner was announced today, with Chicago (A)'s right-hander Andy Messersmith taking home the desired trophy.

He has 23 complete games and 7 shutouts. He's 1st in the American League in ERA and 2nd in wins! Messersmith wins the award for the 2nd time in his 11-year career. Awards may not be the most important thing for Don Gullett, but San Francisco's southpaw smiled as he was named the National League Cy Young Award winner. Don has a record of 28-5 this season, with an ERA of 2.20. In 311.1 Innings he was able to strike out 112 batters. Don has pitched 4 shutouts and 17 complete games.
