RESULTS
-------
Only missing result this week is MCM at TRI, but the commissioner was
notified in advance, so an extension has been granted.


SUSPENSION
----------
During week 14, MOR's Everth Cabrera failed a drug test and has been
suspended for 50 games.


OFF WEEK
--------
There is a real life off week after week 16.  Remember, all results
and boxscores must be in by the end of the off week (August 4) to
avoid incentive point penalties.

Week 16 results are due Monday, July 28; transactions due July 29.
Off Week, any missing results and boxes due August 4.
Week 17 results are due Monday, August 11; transactions due Aug 12.


MID-SEASON BALLOT
-----------------
>From Sean's e-mail:

http://wiki.ibl.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/2014_ballot_2

Please read through these and let me know if there are any issues with
clarity or if there are other sections of the Constitution that need to be
modified in order to avoid a conflict with the proposed changes.  If you
sent
me a proposal for the ballot let me know if I have not accurately
reproduced
your intent.

Please wait for the announcement of the official discussion period before
engaging in public debate.


USAGE
-----
Please pay attention to player usage!  Some players are starting to
get low on games played at a position, or total games, or plate
appearances, or innings.  I don't like to declare forfeits when
players are used illegally, so monitor them carefully.

Make sure you update your MIS regularly.  If you put a player in your
MIS lineup at a position at which they are limited, don't forget and
leave him there!


PITCHERS HITTING
----------------
Since this issue arose this week, I'd like to clarify the rules for
allowing pitchers to hit.

The Constitution states that the league uses the designated hitter,
and only position players may start at DH.  So a pitcher may not
be in the starting lineup, even if he is pitching.

Pitchers may pinch hit if they had 50 or more AB in MLB the previous
season.  Their AB total appears on their card, so you can check the
card to see if they may pinch hit.

The DH must bat at least once before he can be removed, at which
point you may pinch hit for him with the current pitcher if he had
the required 50 AB in MLB.

Pitchers are also allowed to hit if the DH moves to a position on
the field, in which case the pitcher must bat in the lineup position
of the player replaced in the field.
