Last Minute Deal and Roster Cut Reminder
As the final minutes tick away, final roster tinkering took place. The Beatniks acquired David Freese (.05 18+) from the Kenndoza Line in exchange for the Beatniks 9th Round pick.
REMINDER: Roster Cuts are due by 3pm CENTRAL time Sunday, March 27th. Technically that's today.
I have received two teams' cuts thus far. My schedule is full tomorrow and I won't have time to review, process and post the cuts until tomorrow night around 9pm or 10pm. Please, please, please, do not make me chase you down for your cuts at 3:05pm.

Draft Day Information
I am sure you are all hard at work prepping for the draft. Since pitchers and catchers have reported and the first Spring Training game is this weekend, I thought it a great time to provide some Draft Day information.
More information will come as we get closer to Draft Day 2017 (Saturday, April 1st) but here is a taste.
League Fees: League fees for 2017 are $120 just like last year. If you want to send in your fees to me before Draft Day, that's fine. E-mail or text me and I'll give you my home address if you don't already have it. If you want to wait until Draft Day, that's fine too. Bring cash or check for $120. Please don't make me chase you down for your fees by forgetting to bring them on Draft Day. It's February 24th. You have 37 days to plan, remember and figure out when you want to pay.
Draft Start: I don't believe there was a hard and fast consensus on the start time, but I think we narrowed it down to 10ish. So let's say we plan to start at 10am. I should be there no later than 9:30 and thus you are welcome to arrive anytime after 9:30. Out of courtesy to your fellow owners, we're going to start at 10. Don't arrive at 9:59 (or 10:01). I would like to hit the ground running at 10am with final draft day list updates, EC election and other league business.
Draft Location: We will be utilizing the same conference room we've been in for the last number of years at my office. We've done a great job of leaving the room as clean or cleaner than when we arrived so let's keep that going. You can use a microwave in the kitchen, there is limited fridge space to utilize and vending machines if you are so inclined. Closer to draft I will e-mail everyone my office address.
WiFi: From what I've been told from my business associates we have wi-fi access. I don't know if it extends all the way down the hall to the conference room, so don't count on it 100%. I know the internet can be accessed with plug in card things or cell phones. I won't say there's internet restrictions since in this day and age everyone most likely has access. But I will say THERE WILL BE NO INTERNET DELAYS. When we are bidding on a player during the draft or selecting players in the rotation rounds, we're not going to wait for someone to reload a webpage or wait for buffering issues.
Post Draft Hoopla: There has been talk about owners getting together for dinner/drinks after the draft is complete. That will most likely happen on a "as can" basis depending on everyone's schedules.
Home Team Discount: Below are the teams/budgets/players eligible with HTD.
Beatniks .06
Mike Leake
Swing .05
Marcell Ozuna
Travis D'Arnaud
Santiago Casilla
Johnny Cueto
Rebels .04
Brad Ziegler
Clowns .04
Billy Hamilton
Sombreros .04
None
Killers .04
None
Revenge .03
Matt Adams
Kenley Jansen
Jason Hammell
That's it for now. Roster Cut sheets will be sent out early mid-March. Roster Cuts will be due Sunday, March 26th and I will try to post cuts by Sunday evening - certainly Monday the 27th at the latest.
