Managers who have paid their 1998 IRBL dues and are eligible to make trades: Barry Koopersmith YANKEES Don Tobin CARDINALS ALL OTHER MANAGERS: The IRBL dues for 1998 is $30 (payable in U.S. funds). Please submit your 1998 IRBL dues as soon as you are sure that you will be remaining in the IRBL next year. I cannot finalize the team draft order until all managers who have any LSP's or PUP's have officially signed up. In addition, you are not eligible to make trades until I receive your dues check. ...................................... My thanks to Don Tobin for being the first manager to pay his IRBL dues in 5 of his 8 IRBL seasons (and that's a record!). ...................................... The CUBS have been reserved by a prospective new manager. I am just waiting for his dues check to announce him. The EXPOS are still without a manager. IRBL # 542 10-15-97 3 ...................................... LATE SERIES PENALTIES (LSP): The attached LSP.Y97 file details when I received every series and lists each LSP and credit that was awarded. If you find any mistakes or omissions, please let me know by Oct. 30th. After that date, the list will be final, mistakes included. The following is a summary of the managers and teams that will have LSP's that will affect their team draft order (taking into account credits) (assuming that the attached LSP.Y97 file information is accepted as correct): LSP's MANAGER TEAM AFFECTED ----- ------- ------------- 11 R.Doran BLUE JAYS 10 C.Hopkins WHITE SOX 2 C.Salerno ORIOLES 1 D.Tobin CARDINALS ...................................... PLAYER USAGE PENALTIES (PUP): I have completed a review of the 1997 IRBL player over-usages. The following is a summary of the penalties (PUP's) that I noticed: PUP TEAM PUP TEAM -- ---- -- ---- 25 BLUE JAYS 6 #MARINERS 21 *EXPOS 5 CARDINALS 15 #ATHLETICS 5 RED SOX 15 YANKEES 3 TIGERS 12 #*CUBS 2 MARLINS 12 ROCKIES 1 INDIANS 10 GIANTS 1 WHITE SOX 10 ORIOLES *: 1997 manager will not return in 1998; therefore, PUP's are voided #: Post-season roster is impacted; players with PUP's must be placed on Inactive List I made this review manually. I may have time this weekend to create a computer program to check for player overages so this list is not final. It is still the responsibility of each manager to report all overuses to me. I have included a file that details each player that was over-used. Please review the list and let me know if I have made any mistakes or if you have IRBL # 542 10-15-97 4 a valid explanation for the over-usage that you did not report yet. The only valid explanation for an over-usage would be if the over-usage was caused by someone not following your season instructions. I have noted four pitchers in the player over-usage file that exceeded the GS limit. All these pitchers started more games that the Starting Pitchers Rotation forms indicated. If this mistake was made in your road series by the home manager, please specify the series and I will void that PUP. If anyone wants his PUP's waived for reasons other than IRBL Rule # 31C, he must submit the request to a league vote. Attention all post-season teams: As per IRBL Rule # 31B, any player that exceeds his IRBL season limits and is subject to a PUP, will be placed on the IAL for all post-season series games. The deadline for submitted any errors or additional explanations is Oct. 30th. ...................................... THREE MORE PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON: PROPOSAL # 1: Andrea Cristiani (PADRES) has submitted for vote another variation on dealing with players playing out of position (note that GS means Games Started, not Games Played; this statistic can be found on the DMB fielding statistics screen): If a player had < 10 GS at a position, that player is limited to actual GS at that position. This will not apply to LF, CF and RF positions (i.e., an OF could start in each position he has started at least one game). -------------------------------------- PROPOSAL # 2: Jeff Nicholson (REDS) has submitted the following for a vote in order to ease the harsh punishment of the Player Useage Penalty (PUP) rule. The impact of this change would be, for example: If you had 9 players who each were only one AB over the IRBL # 542 10-15-97 5 season limit, you would get only one PUP instead of 9 PUP's, but if they each were 9 AB's over, then you would get 9 PUP's: Modify the PUP rule so that the AB and IP overages for all players on your will be added together for a grand total and then a PUP will be given for every 10 or fraction of 10 (i.e., 8 PUP's if the total is 74). -------------------------------------- PROPOSAL # 3: Mike Mayko (GIANTS) has requested a waiver for the one PUP issued for JOHN WETTELAND going over his season IP limit by 5.2 IP because the computer manager brought the closer, WETTELAND, in two games the GIANTS were losing badly to the PHILLIES. I have included a copy of the AUG 27, GIANTS at PHILLIES series totals file. In game 3, with the GIANTS losing 7-1 in the 6th, WETTELAND came in and pitched 2.2 IP. In game 5, no score in the 2nd, after a rain delay, the starting pitcher was removed and WETTELAND came in and pitched 1.2 IP. In game 6, losing 2-1 in the 7th, WETTELAND came in and pitched 1.1 IP. The total for the series was 5.2 IP for WETTELAND (the exact amount of his season over useage). Void the one PUP issued to Mike Mayko for JOHN WETTELAND. Each proposal will pass if 2/3's of all votes received by the deadline are "FOR" the proposal. The deadline for submitting your votes is Nov. 6th. ......................................

The follow is a summary of how the post-season series will be handled: Just prior to each of the series, all managers of the participating teams will email or upload to the BBS their team instructions for that one entire series (including starting pitcher's rotation, starting lineups and IRBL # 542 10-15-97 7 Inactive List). The instructions can be changed during the series but I will verify that the initial instructions do not violate any IRBL Post-Season Series rules. I will then notify the managers when they can download a special instructions LRD and begin the series. After the first home manager completes his first games, he will email or upload the results plus any team instruction changes (if any) to play his next road games. I will add any indicated "days off" to the files as per the Post-Season schedule. I will notify the opposing manager to download a special LRD to continue the series. I will include my own special instructions detailing how to import the results of the previous games into your computer so you will have all the statistics and pitching information for the previous games as if you had started the series yourself. This process will be repeated until the series is completed. The statistics will be zero'd by me between each series but the pitcher and catcher fatigue (batters faced) will not be zero'd so you have to watch your pitcher and catcher useage. The process will then be repeated for each series. The participating managers will prepare and email or upload the following sets of files for each of the series: 1) INSTR-zz.Txx 2) MPyy.EXP 3) TEAMyy.EXP zz: DS for Division Series CS for Championship Series WS for World Series xx: the two digit IRBL team number yy: one or two digit DMB team number NOTES: 1) The INSTR-zz.Txx file must be a text only file. 2) For example, the DODGERS will upload the following three files: INSTR-DS.T03, MP27.EXP, TEAM27.EXP ......................................

Major League Realignment: One of the possibilities of the Major League realignment is for the ROYALS to move to the NL Central in 1998. That could be an interesting battle in the IRBL in 1999 with Tom Dixon's ROYALS (121 wins in 1997) battling Ricky Diaz' PIRATES (118 wins in 1997) for the NL Central title! ......................................

Midre Cummings 12 at bats; Pate Listach 4 games played; Kirt Manwaring 16 at bats. Pitching--David Cone 7.2 IP; Brian Moehler 10 IP and John Wetteland 5.2 IPs. Wetteland's overuse resulted from the computer manager bringing in my closer in two games I was loosing badly to the Phillies. I would like to bring Wettland's overusage penalty to a league vote. Also, Steve Avery was limited to 27 starts which he pitched but also appeared in 28 games although he did not go over his IP limit. Estes was limited to 14 starts which he made but pitched in 15 games but not exceeding his IP limits. I believe both these happened because the home manager did not set the available option. Finally, I vote in favor of the A's manager's proposal of no limits on fielding positions. Mike Mayko. I will be sending my $30 dues early in November. and will be back in 1998. Could you send me my team's results--batting and pitching results on paper for the years I've been in this league. Mail them to me via U>S> Postal Service since I have a hard drive problem and my computer needs to be repaired. I will pay you for whatever costs these are. I need 89-95 if you havbe such a thing. Mike. Msg: 11 (Public, sent 10/13/97 at 07:20) From: MARK JOHNSON To: BARRY KOOPERSMITH Subj: PUP Dear barry, The 1997 Minnesota Twins have NO overusages to report. I would like to thank the owners that i contacted late in the season, who helped me out by not overusing Rich Amaral. I vote against not having fielding limitations. I don't want to see someone getting to use Paul Molitor at SS, for example, as i don't believe the game punishes the Ie game punishesdefense enough when this occurs.
