ok, here's the deal.

TotalMinors Opening Day Roster Set:
-- will include top 30 prospects for each team (top 10 have been in through v 1.1, plus some others, basically will add 10-15 per team.
-- will include correct rotations and lineups as per cbs.sportsline.com and mlb.com (it'll probably take a couple of days after opening day for them to get this right)
-- Will include real DL times for players (I MAY release a second version without real DL because I know not everyone likes having their season start with guys on the DL).
-- IF (a big if) we can reach a good opinion on the financial aspect (revenues, ticket prices, etc.) to work with the 70% real salaries I did for v 1.1, I will include modified finances as well.
-- Fixing of typos, adding middle initials, adding a couple of players not in the set who are not prospects (Ken Cloude among them)
-- Fix the Cubs great hitting pitchers issue
-- Go over ratings again and adjust (I will probably continue to do this after opening day as well, posting updated csv sheets for guys to import into their existing leagues. This will NOT screw up your league, it will just update ratings.
-- Depending when Baseball America releases its issue with the opening day rosters for minor league teams, I will do those assignments correctly as well. However, this is a low priority for the simple fact that the computer teams will move guys around as soon as you start a season.
-- Updated transactions through Opening Day (NOT through April 15)
-- Right now the TARGET date is April 15. But please understand, I am back at work after my son was born, I work in New Jersey and have almost a 2 hour commute both ways, then get home and need to take care of my son because my wife is exhausted. Somewhere in the midst of that, I am updating this. At this point I still think it will be April 15, but you'll need to understand if it goes a little beyond that.

After today, all of the hitting prospects will have been added to the set and their hitting ratings will be done (I'll still need to review their fielding ratings a bit). Pitchers will take longer, but I hope 2 weeks will be enough time to get all of this done.

Thanks for the continued support and interest.
