USKL 2 Chat/Trades

Qk edited his post above to reflect that he is dropping Nick Punto. I had made a clerical error leading to one too many picks for Dave. Now we're just waiting on AFD to check in.

confirmed

I had given AFD until 10/23 to make his final two picks, but he has failed to reply on the boards or to my emails. So, I am closing the books on the rosters as far as draft picks go. Feel free to make trades, but I will get an up to date roster out to you all soon.

Fellas,
I would like to change my stadium from Safeco to PNC Park. Bay City shares Safeco with me, but I prefer to have my own stadium, PNC Park if you all don't mind.


Tim K

Actually Tim, you are AT&T and I am Safeco. Check trade #96 on the transactions page - your predecessor dealt Safeco & Snyder to me for Molina & AT&T, looking like a good deal for you right now.

You can ask SOM to correct it but not sure that is possible mid-season. And in this league you are stuck in your park unless you trade for a new one as I did, but check with Smitty, maybe as a newcomer he will allow you to pick somewhere else. Personally I wouldn't be in favor of that though, b/c then you would essentially be getting Molina for free....

QK,
I don't have a problem with AT&T. SOM said the League & Commish has to approve it, then they will make the change, which is very kind of them. I guess it is because it is the early part of the season and I was a new owner. And I agree with you about the trade. Thanks!

Tim

Folks -

This ballpark issue is not really addressed in the by-laws, so I would like to put it to a vote. Here is the question:

Should new team owners be permitted a one-time option to change ballparks? This would occur even if a ballpark was part of a previous (even recent) trade.

I believe we need to further amend the rules as far as creating some specifics regarding BP changes (e.g. - permanent or not, only through trade, every five years include BPs as part of the FA draft, some other idea). We can discuss this, but I would like to have the rules amended prior to next season's FA draft.

For now, vote yes or no to the above question - a Yes vote is in favor of allowing the one-time courtesy to new owners (I will refrain from voting until everyone else has):

I have no probelm allowing one time switch for new owners, but would be opposed to allowing existing owners to switch.
