File and pages are up; the deadline for roster moves, extensions, releases and reward camps is MONDAY 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.
I will probably take a couple days off and then start to do the ammy players. Darryl has put a good dent into the players, so I'll copy the batters first and then proceed with the remainder of the pitchers later in the week. Expect the actual off-season stuff to start next weekend.
Let me know if anyone wants to take a look at the 1982 players. To that point, I am curious if the BBSBL folks have the pre-Ammy Draft files from that season, maybe we can use that file (since it draws from the same database)? Might be easier to look at that file and then tweak/perfect it further?
Dave/Mark, do yo jobs!
