| Message | last year we nixed the idea of being able to post signings early and be able to reverse them any time before the deadline. we need to look at that again. guys are doing that anyway, why not post for all to see? from noel's suggestion, i think a reminder email from commish prior to the key dates during the year to the whole pool is a good step forward. tim would have rocked out latos for sure... |

| Message | which argument? about the significance of the contract deadline? i'd agree it's not as big a deal as a midseason no-show or late trade at the deadline. i think it's important for all to have their contracts in by the same time because there's always the chance of wainright type news coming out the day after and it's not fair to one GM who was in on time to get screwed by an injury, when a late GM could have access to that info... it's really a 0.0001% chance of it happening, but it's possible.. a starter could pitch on deadline day, have an injury and a late GM could wait a day to get the prognosis.. feliz could have had news on his role come out the day after the deadline.. i disappear for a day and wait for the news before signing... etc.. so my point is that if we're lenient and continue to be, even if tim obviously had no gain from forgetting, there's potential that we establish precedent that could be abused in the future (though again, i don't expect that to happen). news could come out that the late GM didnt intentionally wait for that could make the situation messy. the one week deadline is arbitrary. it was established way back as a way to get pool and trade talk started earlier in the month, but it could be an hour or a day or three before auction. it just lets everyone come prepared to the draft. since we're all so busy, one week should give everyone the chance for one day in the week to get their final prep squared away.. |

| Message | I am okay about the signings because I still have no clue how this impacts anyone else in the pool. If you are waiting on a guy to say I am signing this guy or that guy for your prep and you can't re adjust in a week or 5 days, what are you doing at the draft when it happens? The mid season picks are a little different for me. If you cannot get the picks in on time then you start holding people up and we have to wait. There should ber a half hour of grace on mid season or waivers after due dilligence leading up to the draft by the commish(emails, phone calls...whatever) If you know about it and have had contact with someone then you should be able to get your picks in ahead of time or be ready for the draft. If you miss it then I say you can have the left overs after everyone is done. That seems fair to me. I think communication leadiing up to the draft is vital and I think we rely too much on internet rather than contact via phone or in person. I know it is a lot of work but we are all busy and if we want to keep the pool with what we have got we will probably have to make some adjustments as we get older and have more important commitments. I know I had issues int he past before because of baseball games, or my Masters degree, and honestly they are more important at the time. I have always made my picks at the mid season or made arrangements with another GM to make my picks. Just my 2 cents. |

| Message | it's quite possible that i'm too uptight about this deadline in particular.. is it this deadline specifically that a barely late submission doesn't really matter? what about april waiver and trade deadline or skipping guys' picks at midseason? i'm just trying to get a handle on how and what we want to police... there's no point me trying to enforce things if everyone agrees it's cool.. i'm not being cheeky, just looking for feedback.. |
