Looking for a “transcation” volunteer

I might still be looking for a Reading correspondant, still waiting to hear back on that one from an interested party, but I am also going to be searching for someone to help with transactions here. Basically, my plan is to create a transactions page at the top of the blog to go with the depth chart and 40 man roster page. Your only task will be to regularly check for transactions, whether it be promotions, releases, new signings, etc etc, and update the transaction log. You’ll be added to the blog as a contributor, but you won’t actually have to write a weekly report. If you would be interested in doing a transaction summary, whether it be once a week, or once a month, you can definitely write something up, but it won’t be required. So if you’re interested, send me an e-mail. Again, I would like this to be something you can keep up with daily, or almost daily, but it shouldn’t be that time consuming.

New feature; 40 man roster

If you look at the top of the blog, I’ve added a new page for the 40 man roster. Basically, the goal is to keep an up to date copy of the 40 man, but more importantly, to keep track of how many option years a player has left, and to monitor when prospects are going to have to be placed on the 40 man roster. I took some liberties with the active 25 man roster, especially the bullpen, but that can be sorted out later. The most important aspect right now is making sure that the number of option years is correct for everyone, and then filling in the blanks for the post 2008, 2009 and 2010 roster additions. That can be a work in progress, and if you have something to add, please add it in the comments on the 40 man roster page.
