Nope, winners must retire on top. That's how Beltran went out after all.....

Trust me, I plan to - just not this year!

So a back-to-back ala Elway before going out. Guess I'll have to be top of my game this year.

And speaking of your profile pic, whereabouts are you? In the New England area or a displaced fan?

I'm about as displaced as it gets - WNY born Red Sox fan living in Virginia, complete with a Miami born Yankee fan wife!

Yeah, you got me beat by a bit. Grew up in NH so had no "choice" but be a Sox fan. Took it with me everywhere I went. Moved back to New England within the last year and ened up in Hartford. Yep, the exact dividing line between Sox and Yankee territory. Heck, each stadium is almost exactly the same distance away from me. My ex cared less about BB, but my best friend, who grew up in TX, is a Yankee guy through and through. THe same guy you lived spitting distance from the Astrodome. Go figure

Anyone else want to join in? I still haven't heard from all of our potential returning managers.

Please respond by Tuesday night. BIG, huge, tremendous announcement regarding the season for our TCDB leagues coming up on Wednesday!

Ok, We still have plenty of room for more if you want to join.

Now, for the big news that I had promised last week (but then fell very ill [flu]).

As was the case the last 2 seasons, I will be the commissioner of the Roto league.

The news is - I will have help! Bob (BOBSCARDZ) will be my co-commissioner.

Additionally, Bob will be our commissioner for our brand new Head to Head league (and I will be his co-commissioner). Bob has a ton of experience in leading fantasy leagues, and is a super guy to work with. I am very much looking forward to this coming season.

I'm not 100% sure how the roster structure looks in H2H leagues, but one change we're going to make to the roto league is we're going to add one more DL spot (now a total of 3). With the introduction of the shorter DLs, MLB teams really took advantage of them and it became a more viable option for lesser-injured players. We increased the DL spots from 1 to 2 last year, and we saw that even with 2 spots, most of the teams needed to burn bench spots while waiting for players to return.

If anyone has any other suggestions for changes to the roto league, NOW is the time to bring them up so we can decide to implement the idea (or not) and implement it before the season starts. You can either post the idea here, or send Bob or I an e-mail. No decisions will be made by just one of us, we (Bob & I) will discuss any and all changes.

Thank you all for your participation, and a HUGE thank you to Bob for helping me out.

I'm down to join the H2H league. PM me

CAD - I already got you in for the H2H. :) Thanks!
