Tried to follow the path of the conversation...I think I get what happened in Silver not putting Berkman on his list, so Jeep's solution, to me, makes sense to have him use his first waiver choice on Berkman - easiest solution.
BUT I understand Joe's argument that Silver would never have been able to keep Alvarez, Berkman, Dyson, Tolbert, based on salary restrictions. I think it's just an unfortunate accident at this point. I don't think Dyson and Tolbert are gonna make or break anyone's season (although if I don't make the playoffs, that's gonna be my excuse!! :lol: ).
Drafting someone else's player is a bigger transgression, as far as I'm concerned...cause now the whole waiver order is affected.
Perhaps, future drafts should implement rules on how to resolve IF a manager either drafts someone else's player, or leaves on of their players off.
