OfficeMax Deals This Weekend

One of the nice benefits of working for OfficeMax is the associate discount.  Once in a while they'll even let us extend that benefit to our friends, and this weekend (June 17-19) is one of those times.  Click here for a flier that lists a number of deals at your local OfficeMax store.  Note:  you MUST bring in the flier in order to get the discount. 

Happy Father's Day

This weekend, of course, is also Father's Day.  To all you fathers and fathers-to-be out there, enjoy the day!  And to everyone, I'm sure a good number of us came to love and appreciate the game of baseball through our fathers -- be sure to tell him thanks this weekend!

Apologies

Though this week's report is a bit skimpy in terms of content, it seems like volumes compared the previous several.  As many of you who have contacted me with  trade proposals over the past weeks already know, my job has changed quite a bit recently and spare time has been at a rather high premium.  

Since the family's got to be fed, I've had to concentrate on staying employed which means I haven't had the necessary time nor focus to put out anything more than bare bones reports lately, and have also been slow to update the website and TQS with trades and mid-week moves.  I apologize for that.  That's also the reason that the Copperfields have been mostly silent in the trade market (though keep the offers coming!) and  that a number of rule-related discussions have been left hanging.

I can't promise things will improve any time soon, but I'll give it my best shot.

Speaking of the rule discussions, the threads are still there in the Executive Committee area of the Forum, waiting for additional input/discussion.   Everyone should feel free to join in.

Hometown Discount Watch

In 2006, the teams that finished in 5^th-12^th place in 2005 will receive a budget of up to .06 to use toward reacquiring players who had played out their option with the team (B-contract players). The exact amount each team receives will be based on how far behind the 5^th place team they are at the end of the year, in terms of a percentage of the 5^th place team's point total.
