Trichotillomaniacs General Manager General Far East, in rare
public statement, urged the league to set the off-season rule changes,
including keeper issues and budget resets, at least a year in advance to allow
teams to prepare for the future.
“Committed we are to PSAS, and look forward we do to ever
lasting relationship with each member of the league. Our goal is always to bring the championship to the Far
East. Obviously we cannot achieve
this every year. Sometimes wait we
must, as a seed in the winter time does.
Maybe this year we may have to wait. Or maybe we can try to win. Gives us options it will if we know in advance what the
rules are going to be,” the General explained in his Yoda accent. “Sucks it does to not know when an
error you make is going to cost you three seasons”, he added, referring to the
team’s accountant mistaking two digits in an waiver transaction in 2010 that
put the team in a financial hole for more than two full seasons.
Asked about the budged reset that took effect this
pre-season, the General said “[g]reat it is for our team. But missed the draft we did. Don’t know which we like better. Very creative we must be through the
waiver wires.”
In other notes from the Far East:
-
the team is yet to announce it’s head coach for
the season. For the
Trichotillomaniacs, the head coach usually sets up the starting roster each
week while General Far East makes all roster moves, including that of the
coaches. Last season’s head coach Lao Tzu can still come back to manage
the roster, or the General can absorb the responsibility himself, although
historically the team has liked having a head coach. Confucius’s name has also surfaced, as always.
-
asked about the draft, the general expressed his
disappointment in not being able to participate in the first ever PSAS auction
draft. “Missed it we did, it that
is. Participated in several mock
drafts we did, and had fun we did” the General commented. “Excited we are about the roster that
was given to us. No one was on our
famously short draft board, but we also like the potential many of the guys
have,” the General added.
