[USML Announce] 1st reporting period; 1st FAAB action

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Whoa, there, Mr. Future Runner Up.  When you say the first FAAB activity should by established in the "early part of the following week," surely you are not contemplated mid-week FAAB bidding, which we have never done.  If so, I do not think we can or should do that.  I agree with Buddha; we should have the first FAAB bidding after 25-man rosters are set.  We can allow roster moves effective 4/5.

	Dear League:
	Buddha's point is taken, and it's taken well.
	 Accordingly, I vote as follows:
	   1.  Teams can adjust their current rosters (as I see some already have) with moves effective noon Sunday, 4/5.
	    2. The 1st FAAB activity should be established the early part of the following week when AL teams have finalized their 25-man rosters. So, if we have time limits similar to last season, a player acquired via FAAB cannot be activated until noon, Sunday, 4/12.
	        Q: under new site if we waive a player and are entitled to FAAB reimbursement, must MBB manually add dollars back to our budget.  It's never too early to plan ahead.
	 
	-Brad

		I guess that makes sense if the pool would still include players who are essentially minor leaguers.  But we still need to set a "reporting period" so we can adjust our rosters with activate/reserve moves.

			I do not think we should have any FAAB until the following week......rosters will be at 30 players still.  What is the harm in waiting 1 week?  Let the voting begin.
