| Message | A few things guaranteed to happen on draft day: Dan will be left with under 80 dollars five minutes in after Pujols, Santana, and Hanley are thrown out. Derek will have four starters better than James Shields on his team Noel and Pat will nearly come to blows fighting over a Bruce Chen caliber pitcher. Tim will pay 30 plus for the first top closer thrown out, whether he drafts another closer is anybody's guess. Rob will draft Derek Lee As soon as Rios gets nominated Harold will immediately bust in to the chorus of "Her name is Rio" by Duran Duran. |

| Message | good points... noel's suggestion was to "pre-submit" contracts so that he wouldn't miss the deadline.. i liked that idea.. i simply didn't want to have an advantage of me being the only one knowing his contracts... another option is to submit them to a trustworthy 3rd party who would release them at the deadline... |

| Message | I'm not a huge fan of the rule change, I wouldn't care if the GM didn't specify the length of the contract before draft day but changing players seems a bit too much for my liking. You don't see guys in real life getting signed by a team and then saying oh just joking here's the guy we really signed. Just a thought, I can go with it if I'm on my own. |

| Message | I like the proposed rule change... it seems to both allow tardy managers the chance submit signees in time and crafty managers (like Fry) the chance to mess with everyone's head. |

| Message | thanks for bearing with me and my cry for help. maybe i bluffed or maybe i'm impatient.. let's get this show on the road.. the site going down has been good.. i never knew how easy making a site could be.. the new one is up and running already. i just hope the old one comes up one day so i don't lose all my writeups.. click "back to ULB" above or: https://sites.google.com/site/ultimateleaguebaseball/ one downside is that when you want to look at links it basically downloads them.. i haven't figured that out yet. but the good thing is all the old updates are restored in their former glory with team writeups.. |

| Message | The H-Bombers would like to nominate Marvin Freeman to the HOF. Marvin Freeman (born April 10, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1986 to 1996 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies. He worked as both a starting pitcher and a reliever in his career. He is currently an assistant baseball coach at Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, Illinois. In his career year Marvin posted 10 wins, a 2.80 ERA and 67k's over 112 innings, the following year he was drafted by the H-Bombers and posted 3 wins, a 5.89 ERA, 122 hits over 94 innings. This was a pivotal year for the H-Bombers as the organization learned to never draft a Colorado pitcher forever molding the franchise into a consistent winner. That being said I would like to nominate Marvin Freeman under the "builder" category. |

| Message | this could get interesting, we could all bluff our picks and change them at the last minute...If that rule is in effect I am signing Dice K and Volquez for three years each. I like the rule by the way. |

| Message | I'm just going to go ahead and nominate Aroldis Chapman, lets face it he's getting in sooner or later so lets just fasttrack the guy. 40 dollars in the auction for sure!!! |

| Message | i'd like to clarify that i don't need your nomination, just a sign that you look at the BB every couple days.. we can slot those noms in tho! Contacts/Buyouts Process - Contracts and Buyouts can be submitted prior to the deadline and be changed at time prior to the deadline. This is in an effort to allow GM's every opportunity to not miss the deadline due to real life interfering. "Subject to Change" will apply to all announcements and need not be specified. All decisions become final once the deadline passes. All announcements will be made public. Any issues with this new policy? |
