confirm the above trade

buzz, I sent you a PM

I have a surprise good player - Franklin Gutierrez had an .846 OPS against RHP, and of course he has a glove. Looking to trade him for a 3rd starter type - future value not a requirement. Also can include David Murphy - a corner OF backup who was decent against RHP.

Draft order for next season -

From the rules:

Annual Spring Free Agent drafts:
1) The first 3 draft positions of the first round or each FA draft (except for our initial draft) are determined by weighted draft lottery of the twelve teams with the worst records. This includes, regular yearly draft, prospect draft and supplemental draft. All other draft choices and all other rounds are chosen in reverse order of finish.
2)The lottery works like this, We have a list of five states, WI, AZ, CT, NJ, and CA, in this order.
3) The annual spring free agent will be determined by the lottery numbers on the day AFTER the previous season's Strat postseason ends. The prospect draft will be determined by the lottery numbers on the 2nd day after the Strat postseason ends.
4) We will take the pick 3 of the first state (WI), using only the last two numbers and use the chart below to determine who receives the first choice. We'll use AZ to choose the second choice, and CT to choose the third. If any of the first 3 states are duplicates (say WI and AZ numbers both choose the team with the 23rd best record, than we use the last two states (NJ and CA). If after 5 states, we still have not chose 3 choices, then we go in reverse order after the choices that have been chosen.

6) Only players that were issued cards for that year are available for the Spring FA draft.
7)All owners must drop enough players to bring their rosters to a maximum of 20 players allowing for 10 draft picks; Owners can drop below 20 players, but must not have less than 15 prior to the draft.
8) Player drops must be announced prior to the beginning of the Free Agent draft.
9) All owners must have a full 30 man roster upon completion of the annual Spring Free Agent draft.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, but isn't it strange that I won 199 games over two seasons and both rings and don't pick last in every round? If I were Turtle or Boblues I'd be pissed.

Perhaps a rules change is in order.

I'd propose that the total wins over two seasons be used as the ranking measure, and include playoff wins as well as regular season wins in order to maximize the possibility that the guy(s) who won rings picked very late.

As our rule currently stands, it's entirely conceivable that someone wins a ring in season 1, then totally dumps his team for guys having bounce-back seasons and drafts in the top 5 with a totally stacked team for the upcoming season.
