[USML Announce] The Conventional Winick: K-9 Re-Armed, Ready To Rumble Even Sans Craig Hansen

[Andrew R. Klein]

Looks like a good roster to me.  But count Hansen among my nine, which 
means I'm taking offers for others on the list!

On more important matters, I propose that we pick a draft date early 
this year to avoid the annual scramble.  Here are my three suggestions. 

1.  Saturday April 7, 8 am, Sidley conference room.  This is the 
"traditional" Saturday-after-opening day.
2.  Sunday April 8, 8 am, Sidley conference room.
3.  Saturday March 31, 8 am, Sidley conference room.  This is right 
before the season and the day before Easter.
