End of Season Reminders

We are fast approaching the homestretch of the 2012 season.  Here are a couple of things to remember.

1)  For those of you that still have a Free Agent Budet, this weekend is the last weekend to acquire a free agent and keep him next season.  That's because . . .

2)  Anyone you acquire during September receives an "S" contract, which means the contract expires at the end of the current season.  Also, for "S" contracts, there are NO Home Team Discount rights.

3)  A week from Saturday (September 1st) you are able to activate an extra player into a second Utility spot.  The player can be pitcher or position.  Keep in mind that if you activate a player from your reserve to the September Roster Expansion (SRE) spot, this does not allow you to fill the open reserve spot without waiving someone.  You are allowed 40, and only 40, players on your roster.  For five months the split is 23 active 17 reserve.  For September it can be 24 active 16 reserve.  You are not required to activate an extra player in September.

For the above three points, more details can be found in our beautiful Constitution.

I have started putting together the ballots for our end of season awards.  If you would like to submit some suggestions, any help would be greatly appreciated.
