im not looking to be an a-hole, but I've been slapped on this with late FA picks, and my understanding is that would have been before the benny baseball pick which gave u two prospects, and three existing picks.

I know you're not trying to be an a-hole. It was a legit question, which is why I asked the commish for clarification before I pursued a deal.

bigmahon trades prospect picks #9 and #23

To alk58 for prospect pick #3

alk to confirm

Let's hold up the draft for a bit...

In reviewing the [mind-numbing] discussion from last year at this time, I see that Meat is correct. We nullified a deal he made because his last pick traded was outside the limit of those allowed. In that instance, he traded an earlier pick instead of the later, invalid one.

So, to be fair, I think I need to change my ruling when I pre-approved bigmahon's trade. At that point, he had
- Peraza on his roster and
- Benintendi as pick #2
- Pick #8 for 3rd prospect
- Pick #9 for 4th prospect
- Pick #23 therefore was no longer valid*

* I'd like to say it was, but this would not be consistent with earlier decisions in this league

Just as a suggestion, a legitimate deal would be #8 and #9 for Allan's #3. Both picks would be valid at the time of the trade and then #23 is legal again, since bigmahon would no longer have 4 prospects or picks.

I suppose if big and alk wished, they could then swap back #8 for #23 on some basis and reinstate the original intent of their deal with totaly valid picks

Just for everyone's information, jflatour let me know that I'm up in the draft. I'm working on it. I also read the previous post. I don't want to rush myself too much, and I don't have the use of my work computer on the weekend . (The home computer is barely breathing). Just want to let you know I'm working on my pick.

In reviewing the [mind-numbing] discussion from last year at this time,

You guys have mind-numbing discussions? If I had known that, I would have never joined this league! The heck with this disaster of a team, I was just hoping for some enlightened discussion of all the important issues of the day, from some knowledgeable, world travelers.

Not.

as always I'm cool with whatever works, just let me know when to pick LOL

alk, sent you a pm

In the meantime, the #1 FA pick (AKA Jarrett Parker) is still available. Serious offers please.

sorry for all the wrangling, especially to bigM and al, and appreciate TC going back to that old angry discussion, because I don't even LIKE the rule, as evidenced by my earlier rancor. having suffered from it, just wanted consistency.
