Middlesex County Retirement League

Meeting Minutes

January 31,2012

 

The following is a summary of the meeting minutes for the Retirement League meeting held on 1/31/2012 at the Old Bridge Public Library:

 

To Board and Tuesday Players:

 

1.     Welcome to Bob Carlson, new manager of Dermatology Associates.  The goal is to make this team better than last year.

 

2.     The draft resulted in a resonable balance per everyone's input with 16 players on 5 teams and 17 on 1.

 

3.      A suggestion to have our picnic in mid-season rather than at end when many players leave early for parts "unknown".   This will be discussed further.

 

4.      Another consideration is expanding to seven 7 teams because of overfill of pool players.   There are 15 players still available.  With this in mind and taking one player from each team and adjusting the pool players is a possible scenario.

 

5.      Ratings were discussed at length, but still some managers feel it is necessary to modify a few.  We can do this forever but we cannot satisfy everyone.

 

6.      iSince the meeting, a suggestion was made that we all (100+ players) chip in about $3.00 and purchase a pitching machine that is currently on sale at Dick's Sporting store (EB).  This would be primarily for practice at Del's during "spring training" and in the fall.

 

7.      We had a great practice today with more than 12 players.  Stay alert for the next one.
