All- Just call it the Wade Miller-Albert Pujols Sweepstakes! Miller was more popular than a hooker on a battleship, and Pujols was not far behind. Miller was the first choice in 8 of 9 pitchers requested, and Pujols was preferred by 4 of 5 requests where he qualified. Andy grabs Albert (Pujols, that is) for Big Mac, while Willo looks to be bamping saves by selecting Miller for Dave Veres. Willo then gets Dope of the Month for his second move. Down to one closer, he then replaces Tom Gordon with Jeff Fassero, just as Gordon is winding up his rehab stint to replace the Cub's interim closer- a guy named, you guessed it, FASSERO!! (Hogman- can we double our wager?) Honorable mentions go to our rotorookie, Terry, for his convoluted attempt to replace pitchers, and Jack for picking up half of the Cubbies' rotation. Wattsamatter, Jack- no more Reds available?. Terr- you moves required some executive attention. After consulting with the almighty ICC, you were awarded Dan Reicert for D'Amico rather than Mecir based on Rule E10 which states "....When submitting a multiplayer reserve request (reserve A and or B and pick up C and/or D and/or E) or (reserve A and pick up C, and if that doesn't work, reserve B and pick up D) the request will be applied first to whichever of A or B was the earlier picked player and then to the other." Given that D'Amico was just put on the DL and looks to be out for a while, this probably is in your favor. Give me a call if you need me to clarify. We've got some aggressive owners only a month into the season, and some who playing 'hands-off'. Five owners (Jack, Ikey, Fox, Al, and Hans) have used half their moves; Fox actually could have been down to two had he gotten Pujols for Ben Grieve. On the other end, John and Mags still have their original rosters. I expected this from John, but Mags, are you awake? The other teams have 4 or 5 to play with. Also interesting- no trades to report, no one has yet used the new rule to reverse a move Here's the request summary, including three moves which were nullified due to having no options left when they could select. The details of the requests are also attached.
