When I protected Mitchell, I assumed Foster would be gone.  A pleasant surprise, but it means a pretty big shift on my roster to make room for his 8+ million salary.  I think this Reds team will hit, but we'll see if they can get anyone out.

Also, league number will be coming shortly.

Hey sgsmith... any "first  time" protects or drafted players?

I left Foster entirely unprotected last leg, but then I wasn't going to use him even if he made it all the way through.

Hey, does anyone have last leg's league number?  I forgot to save it, and it has disappeared.  Either post here or sitemail.  Thanks.

Last season appears to have been MLB97991 from my records.

I was thinking Foster pretty much every round, but kept putting it off.

This is indeed it.

Thanks guys.

how do you look up the last league number?

I got it out of my incoming mail archive from the season wrap-up, not sure where AV had it.

League number has been sitemailed.  I know shaybee was traveling to Japan yesterday.  He's got his team ready to go, so he should be able to enter once he gets there.  I don't think access should be a problem once he gets there and settled.

Do you mean other than the entire Phillies squad?
