[quote:a588548918]Also, AP, your recent post has deeply confused me. What exactly does this mean?
[i:a588548918]1 - Bigmahon violated the "24" Rule and made his "FIX" like most....but he then fell upon CAP issues and thus was forced into my PENALTY.
....not sure how he came upon the player he add/dropped initially and didn't select a slightly higher $ player to drop to be able to keep Hornsby....didn't follow how that played out[/i:a588548918].[/quote:a588548918]
Bigmahon, not sure what part is confusing in my statement...but it was in response to wockenfuss's comment on how he preceived your penalty being more unfair than the others.
...my first statement -[i:a588548918] [u:a588548918]Bigmahon violated the "24" Rule and made his "FIX" like most....but he then fell upon CAP issues and thus was forced into my PENALTY[/u:a588548918].[/i:a588548918] ....was simply a re-hasing of the facts....you came to a point in the draft where you were stuck, and fixed it. Is that not correct ?
...my second statement - [i:a588548918][u:a588548918]not sure how he came upon the player he add/dropped initially and didn't select a slightly higher $ player to drop to be able to keep Hornsby....didn't follow how that played out[/u:a588548918][/i:a588548918]. Was just my way of saying that I had NOT followed how or why you had to drop Hornsby...and I will dig up the pieces (like I did for the others) and if you want to see if there was a better way for you.
I do not recall who you dropped (swapped) before the Hornsby drop, but whoever it was obviously did not leave you enough $'s to continue - thus, forcing you to drop Hornsby.....correct ?
My point was that the OTHERS - who wockenfuss was biathcing at - seemed to be just cherry picking players to drop that fit their needs. Case in point was He's Meat who chose S.Miller - drafted several rounds before - rather than Reuther.
....I was just wondering WHY you did not selected a HIGHER $ player to drop (swap out) so that you could get back draft $'s to continue and still KEEP Hornsby.
I applaud you for doing the correct thing - you should NOT cherry pick - but considering the others appreared to - I just wondered out loud on the boards why you didn't. Moreover, I set out last night to see if in fact the others were as CORRECT (want to use the word honest but that's not going to sound right) in their "FIX" moves as you were.
...and I posted my opinions on each.
I did not look into yours because it was late, I was tired, and I'm sure you would not have dropped Horsnby unless you were sure it was the only option.
Did my comments seem in anyway condeming ? On the contrary, I was agreeing w/ wockenfuss
Now, the others who made changes (He's Meat, roesnthem, giddyup) I am NOT saying you did anything WRONG/UNFAIR/DISHONEST etc....
I just reacted to wockenfuss's statement - which IMPLIED that people were not a penalized as Bigmahon - and looked back on those moves.
....rules confusion aside, none of the other drafting errors put any of you in the Draft $ / Letter issue where you would have to drop your hightest $ player.
Bigmahon, if you can help me from digging up all the postings from pages and pages - just post here what happend and what you did and I'll give you my 2 cents to see if you needed to drop Hornsby
....or not. Up to you.
Just trying to help. :?
Think I'll play an UNCLE next time and go lie on a beach :D
