Acting Commissioner Schlanger

Commissioner Haughton is scheduled to have back surgery tomorrow, Wednesday, April 9th. He is not sure what kind of condition he will be in to do the transactions so he has asked David Schlanger to step in. If you have moves to make and have not done so, please send your transactions to him until further notice.

Transaction Deadline Tonight

Tom has asked me to fill in as commish while he is recovering from his procedure. Just a reminder to email me your transaction requests by 10:00PM tonight. You can use my work email or buckynduke@comcast.net

Federals Roster Change

Ryan Sweeney made the A's Opening Day Roster. As a result, the Federals had to either activate him and release a player or waive him. The Federals released Ryan Sweeney, so he is available for week two transactions.

Roster Replacements

To square way two unresolved issues and to make all our rosters legal, the following 2 moves will take immediate effect while any other moves will wait until next week:

• Chilis release Clay Rapada (did not make Tigers Opening Day Roster) - Replacement Brian Burres
• Presleys release Jay Gibbons (did not make Orioles Opening Day Roster) - Replacement David Murphy - TEX

Transaction Period Extended

From the Commissioner:

Since the draft occurred prior to the start of the season, the first transaction period is extended to correspond with the next transaction period on the web site. So transactions are now due by next Tuesday at 10:00pm.
