[quote="blackjack57"][quote:34d421dda5="calbatross"]Like rburgh, I too showed Darren Oliver on Geoff's team roster. Here is where Detroit Tigers sent Darren Oliver to Iron Will:

[quote:34d421dda5]DT Trades #1 prospect pick and Darren Oliver (RP) to Ironwill for the #2 pick in the draft and Thatcher. [/quote:34d421dda5]
[b:34d421dda5]Unless I am missing it Ironwill never confirmed this trade and DT used Oliver on his team so he remains the property of DT. Go to recently completed teams and "see all" to look at your old leagues. DT also used Thatcher, which should have been illegal since the trade was never confirmed and he was using Oliver. Since no one noticed it's over and done with, was more than likely an accident anyway but there is a good illustration of why you wait until a trade is confirmed.
Turtle will need to rule on this but as far as I am concerned no picks were exchanged and Detroit-Tigers has no claim on Oliver or Thatcher. If Geoff wants to keep Oliver instead of one of his other keepers he can, otherwise Oliver goes to Shakey.[b][/b:34d421dda5]
Here is the prospect draft, DT picked 1st and ironwill 2nd, so the trade was never made. No picks are to be exchanged in this year's draft as a result of the non-trade. Turtle will need to rule on Oliver's status.

[b:34d421dda5]However[/b:34d421dda5], as a result of the later trade Geoff does own DT's 2nd rd FA pick. My mistake there, I forgot to list the pick in the googledoc trades.

The problem with not saying this trade was confirmed is that there trade was made in league and was therefore confirmed. We can't say the trade wasn't made for goodness sakes, the players actually played for DT!!!!
[b:34d421dda5]This later trade is valid as it is listed above [/b:34d421dda5] The earlier one is not. Thatcher and Kuo belonged to DT. But, since Oliver was not listed as a keeper or in this trade it can be assumed he was dropped as were any others not listed under drops and keepers.
