A great post...a few of those were pointed out yesterday in PFT's site...and certainly a few of those will help vets a bit more which really IS needed. Th whole transition tag is almost dissolved...One thing I wonder from this is what poison pills are in it for the CBA extension..if it does NOT happen?? I would hope there are even more dire conswquences for both sides..so that it gets done way before..instead of this last minute scramble.

These are great clarifications.

BTW, this is billed as a "6-year extension". This seems a bit far from the truth since

1) the current CBA ended after the 2007 season, and

2) either party can end the agreement after the 2009 season.
