Opening Day!!!!!!

After what some are calling the longest offseason in SDMB League history, Opening Day is here. There are a lot of changes in the league this year, with new financial settings, as well as the radical reälignment that converted two leagues into three divisions.

There were no major league signings this sim, but twp major injuries to report. One of the entire bullpen of new free agents that Saskatoon signed to help defend their Cecil Cup title, Merlin Bohon, will miss about six weeks. Ohio's stud 3B Ronald Quijada will miss two months after getting beaned by Saskatoon's Alfredo Herrero. Ironically, both players were hurt in the same game on 3/26.

The league file is up. Go and get it and remember a few things:

1. Zev will sim Opening Day and the first two weeks of the season on Saturday night. I definitely won't run any sims this weekend because I'll be out of town and there isn't an OOTP iPhone app yet (or, is there?).

2. Remember to drop your roster to 25 players. Zev will have to make some cuts for you if you don't, and you never know whom he might release if he needs to make room.

3. Also, if you used 7-man lineups and rotations during spring training, you had best remember to undo them, or else they'll still be in effect during the season, to unexpected results. Trust me, folks, you don't want to leave them as-is.

4. The minor league season also starts this sim, so be sure to get your minor league rosters in order, too.

5. Item number 3, above, should be ignored if you're scheduled to play Los Angeles in the first two weeks of the season, however.
