BASL (Former SDKL)

Some people think noses are an unneeded feature , most think belly buttons are . But without the second you would have to be hatched and possibly the egg you were in would fall, or get eaten while mom was away from the nest shopping . The first was what’s called in science a genetic good guess . What ? you might ask . A distant mutation seeing the future created a nose knowing at some time , like a billion years or so, a species would grow a brain large enough to survive despite being near sighted and would need a place to hang its glasses . My point is as plain as the nose on my face , hidden by my really cool shades , and that is that some of Gods greatest gifts are unneeded features ( with apologies to Garth Brooks ) This is my way of saying Riley Green can be traded.

.....This is my way of saying Riley Green can be traded.

That won't be happening. Hopefully promoted though.

I knew Riley Greene was on my team because I keep track of it on cardstock. But I completely forgot that he was designated as my Keeper Prospect. There he sits. At the bottom of the SS. I've only been in the league for a year and forgot to look down there.

I can't put him on my 40 man roster now because I'm already at 40. As soon as I can promote Green, I'm not filling that slot again. It's an unneeded feature.

Easy solution trade two folks to me for one of mine...then you have a spot and I drop a player...

I'd rather drop Herz, if Sean allows it, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

.....This is my way of saying Riley Green can be traded.

So, voices are being heard, and far be it from me to turn down a platform to get on a soap box.

There is a view by some Commissioners that the rules are the rules, and that you mess up, that's on you. End of story. As an attorney I feel this attractive, as very few things in life are white and black, and when there can be order and predictability, that is a good thing. I call this the TS Philosophy on Strat, aka "Tough Shit".

However, much as Ebeneezer Scrooge had the opportunity to be visited by the three ghosts on Christmas Eve, I have recently been involved in another league where the TS rule was applied to me. It cost me, I think quite unfairly, a third round FA pick which is critical as it is a "no prospect" league, making those first rounds critical. There are complications that would identify this league if I went into specifics and I have no desire to bad mouth another Commissioner publically, so I'll just avoid the details, but fair to say it wasn't entirely my fault. I offered a reasonable solution to the Commissioner (give me a 15th round pick so I can make my roster legal and a compensatory 3rd rd pick in the next years draft, as now my season is tanked, so that's my punishment, but allow me to recapture the value that I lost through several mis-steps of others). I was told "if I did that the rest of the league would be upset, so no". Not even a compromise offer. In other words, TS.

I am considering dropping that league because of that. A commissioner leads, and should do the right thing based on the equities of the situation. Follow the league rules, but when the rules are silent, do what's in the best interest of the league and what's, most importantly, fair.

So all that being said, as a TS traditionalist, I don't want to lose Bob in the league over a slight and defer to our wise and gracious Commisssioner to make an ultimate determination.

Soap box now available for others, as I step down from it.

I hear the issue. I’m out right now, will address it tomorrow
