[quote:ec4a105a77]Roster/draft implications for Sandy to confirm:
1) I get 2 additional picks at the end of this draft as I open up 2 immediate roster spots by trading away Drew/Kotchman/Dejesus & getting Thome back
2) DT & Chuck would each lose a pick at the end of the draft as they gain an additional player OR they would have to make an additional drop from current roster
3) I would need to drop/trade at least 1 player for the supplemental draft in order to give DT my pick
4) I just want Sandy to confirm draft eligibility rules - we are assuming the 1st draft for which Matsuzaka is eligible is next year's FA draft, thus me getting that pick - is that correct? We would adjust the deal if he is eligible for the supplemental draft.

Answers:
1) Yes.
2) They each LOSE a pick. They do NOT drop anyone now (thus Maroth is STILL on your roster D-T). Players that were [i:ec4a105a77][b:ec4a105a77]protected[/b:ec4a105a77][/i:ec4a105a77], stay protected.
3) You need to [b:ec4a105a77]DROP[/b:ec4a105a77] a player/s (as per the Fowldawg coll.), in order to justify a traded pick/s. And, you may [i:ec4a105a77][b:ec4a105a77]only[/b:ec4a105a77][/i:ec4a105a77] draft 3 players [b:ec4a105a77]max[/b:ec4a105a77] in the Supp. Draft, regardless of how few under 40 you may be at the time of the SUPP. draft (held between season one and two). Only during the FA Draft are you allowed to fill out your roster to 40 players max.
4) Yes. The first draft that Matsuzaka will be eligible for, will be next year's FA Draft. [b:ec4a105a77]NO[/b:ec4a105a77]! There is NO assumption that Chuck will be dead last this coming season in order which he would have to be for you to insure that pick. Thus, there is no current assumption that YOU will end up with Matsuzkaka.
I certainly hope that we are not [i:ec4a105a77]trying[/i:ec4a105a77] to force that issue here. :roll: :(
I don't know if it's the case of me being simply overwhelmed by all that is going on in my life right now, but I find myself feeling like this is all starting to become too much for me. These Keeper leagues have seemed to take on a whole new personality with traded picks, future picks, etc., etc., and I feel a little lost and saddened in terms of the direction we are headed. Sorry. :cry:
