wockenfuss, I'm not the commish - you are. My rule is crystal clear and I have tried to explain - in great detail - the differences regarding the penalty and/or fixes of everyone.
It's now up to you to make a decision, not me.
Bigmahon, I'd love to see you keep Hornsby but again, I don't have time to dig up all the posts on this thread. I rememeber reading a post where you specificly said you would be OVER the cap based on the letters and players that were left. If that is NOT correct then lay out the situation here and explain.
One last time I will give you the explaination of the PENALTY:
IF someone comes to a point in the draft where:
1 - The letters left for them have ZERO players needed to fulfill their compliances - ALL the compliances
[b:88d3f0760d]OR[/b:88d3f0760d]
2 - There are players left which they could use BUT they would be over the $90M cap by picking them
[b:88d3f0760d]THEN[/b:88d3f0760d]
They have hit the penalty phase
A) [b:88d3f0760d]He's Meat[/b:88d3f0760d] came to such a point where he needed 3 LH Starters. Howver, NEITHER # 1 OR # 2 were true at that point. He HAD the letters and players to use AND he had the cash to pick them.
B) Giddyups came to his point in the draft where he picked the wrong letter. Again, neither # 1 or # 2 applied to him...thus, he also did NOT hit the penalty
...and now Bigmahon.
If in fact Bigmahon fixes his PILGRIM error and THEN neither # 1 or # 2 apply then yes, of course, he can keep Hornsby....but from what I read he would have hit # 2. If I misread this....and I hope I did.....then he can keep Hornsby.
NOTE: Like I said before regarding Meat's Reuther pick......IMHO (and this is a commish ruling - not mine)....Bigmahon should take the PILGRIM of the letter matching his LATEST pick and NOT simply ONE of his picks.
I have no idea which Pilgrims are left and not about to look....but that's the way I see it.
Commish, it's all yours.
LMK when the phase 2 starts.
:D
