OK, you all have sold me on the "keeper without a card" question.
Hearing no objections, let's add a new line to the rules section about ANNUAL FREE AGENT DRAFT, as follows:
[b:9088b95e90][color=red:9088b95e90]8) There is no requirement for a team to drop a player who is not issued a card in the new year's set. For example, if a star player is injured in 2009 but a full recovery is expected in 2010, then that player can remain on a team's 40 man roster while using the 2009 card set.
