8/31/08

  • We have another division champion:
    • Hall of Fame - Cooperstown Division: Oaxaca

8/30/08

  • The stats for the completion of the suspended White Sox - Orioles game are counted when the game is complete.  The suspended game was #130 for both teams and the regular game #131.  So you may see some players on the DL show up in your box score.

8/28/08

  • If you drafted a 2008 First Round Pick who did not sign a major league contract, he's going to be removed from the BWB player list (and your rosters) after the season.

8/26/08

  • The trade deadline has passed for 2008
  • Starting with week 23 lineups, we've got roster expansion.  Your taxi squad players and minor leaguers will fill in if you've got any extra holes in your lineups.  You can optionally put the players in order now.

7/31/08

  • Contract extensions are done for the year.

7/25/08

  • BWB All Star Teams are posted - you'll find a link on your league's home page.  Bonuses for all star players - including MLB all stars - were included during the Week 17 update.

7/10/08

  • There are no salary rebates for cut players for the rest of the season.

6/27/08

  • All teams received an extra million Benchwarmer Bucks this week.  You'll get one more distribution at the end of July.

6/12/08

  • First Round draft picks (top 30 picks) are now in the player list.

5/31/08

  • All teams received an extra 1 Million Benchwarmer Bucks during the Week 9 transactions (the last transaction period in May).  There will be similar cash distributions during the final transactions of both June and July.
  • Note an important clarification in the rules for salary rebates regarding players on multiyear contracts.  The existing language was kind of murky on whether a team getting a contracted player had to pay any portion of the current year's salary (or maybe even inferred that there was always zero cost).
  • Later this week, we'll add an indicator on roster and trade pages to players with multiyear contracts who were paid for in full for 2008 and thus will earn a salary rebate or cause a team picking them up in a trade to pay the prorated portion of 2008.

5/5/08

5/3/08

  • Week 5 was another payment deadline.  If you haven't yet paid for your teams, you cannot change your lineup, in addition to being blocked from transactions.  See the deadlines for details.  If you don't pay by Week 10, BWB will take over ownership of your team and look to replace you.
