Minihouston - Editor-In-Chief
Alright guys, I'm sure many of you are wondering; especially now that we have 0 owners still trying to select their teams. We've completed our blog series on Top Players entering Season 1, but I wanted to address the schedule real quick. Initially I had planned on starting 2/1, but Bob and Jordan were able to get the world created much sooner. One thing I wanted to make sure to do when we start a season is look at how the important dates shake out so nothing falls on a holiday or another day people might generally be preoccupied with other life events. The start of the season is one of those for me and another reason I liked the initial 2/1 date - I have a HUGE exam I'm studying for. Selfish, I know.
But instead of waiting nearly a month and kill any momentum we've built up, I'll hit the button tomorrow, Sunday 1/12. Here's how that would play out:
- 1/13 Budgets
- 1/14 Resign FAs / Coaches
- 1/15 Arb Hearings
- 1/16 Sign FAs / Coaches
- 1/20 Rule 5 Draft
- 1/28 First regular season game
- 2/12 Amateur draft prospects released
- 2/19 Amateur draft
- 3/8 Trade deadline
- 3/28 Playoffs (for those lucky few)
- 4/9 - 4/10 end of World Series
