Draft . . . The Aftermath

From the Commissioner:

Dear Owners,

I just wanted to thank everyone for an enjoyable draft this year. It was nice to see everyone laughing and having a good time with it. There were a few moments in particular that I will remember for a long time.

Anyway, special thanks to Cliff and Colleen for hosting - Colleen's cooking was delicious and their new great room was a perfect fit for our large group. Cliff, please pass on a special thanks to your wife from all of us.

Also, thanks to Tom for filling in for Don on short notice. It is good to know that we can always count on Tom! Don, I couldn't properly convey how hard Tom worked to do a good job for you. His bidding war with Pfeiffer for Lyle Overbay's services was particularly noteworthy... and amusing.

Okay, so where do we stand now? We will have our first transaction deadline on Tuesday April 14th at 11PM Eastern. Current standings will determine the replacement priority. The only exception being for three players acquired during the auction on Saturday (Joe Koshansky, Dusty Brown and Chad Cordero). These three players did not make an American League Major League roster, and will receive the lowest priority for replacements during the first two transaction periods (regardless of their owner's place in the standings). Please send me several players of interest in priority order if at all possible, as I am sure we will have many requests for the same players.

Please see the attached rosters and let me know if you see any errors. I am in the process of loading the teams onto the website (approx 40% done), and will hopefully finish tonight or tomorrow night.

That's all. Good luck to everyone!
