I wasn't saying that you should be allowed to do it whenever you want, or that it wouldn't require a rule change, just that I didn't see a way that it would be unfair to allow a new member to do so, provided it was done immediately after the draft, when we've all had a chance to pick up the players we want. Would a 16th and 17th round pick for those two relievers upset the competitive balance?
It would DEFINITELY require a rule change, which would require 8 votes, so I'm not sure you're off to a good start.
That said, there are other ways to go about doing this: For instance, you can trade the players you mentioned for late round draft picks. As long as the draft doesn't have more than 15 rounds, you can add as many players as you're able to. Check your PMs, Splinter...
