Is it just me, or did they announce the reserves really early this year?
Last year the reserves were announced on 2/9 (but lockout, so whatever).
But in 2011 the reserves were announced on 2/3 I think, with the starters announced on 1/28.
2010 it was something like 1/28 for reserves and 1/22 for starters.
There's still 3 1/2 weeks till the All-Star game, and most teams have like 10+ games during that stretch.
Just seems so early.
Why is it so early this year?
