Any thoughts on my question from yesterday?

A sex change is a rather intricate procedure. You really have to think about all the other people that you would be affecting. Plus, you would have to change all your driver's licenses, health cards etc.... Is this something that you have been thinking about for a while or did you just have a bad bottle of wine?

Lots of thoughts, none that will make you happy.

Okay, so I spoke with both asscoms and did research in drafts previous. It's unfortunate that the manuscripts of the draft have been deleted because it's near impossible to know why some things have been done. But in almost any season there are many moves immediately after the draft that are somewhat suspect. I can't prove them either way but I recall a scenario where at the end of the draft a few owners were granted the ability to draft a bs player and that player was swapped.

Here is what I'm going to do. You're going to get your player. However the only reason yu are is because you told me who you wanted and we discussed it DURING the draft. (which is really the tie breaker in my decision where I was 50-50 but I basically told you in the draft it was okay not to draft a C) A good point was brought up in conversation that if we set a precedent people could exploit this by drafters remorse and try to claim a player in order to bypass waivers.

So a new rule is being put in place.... if you decide to punt a position you need to declare it before the draft. The commissioner will make a note of it. Since we do have a minor league system that we can utilize and this is a keeper league I see no reason to enforce you having to waste a pick on a guy you could have really gotten value for because CBS doesn't recognize your minors as players.

So no, no on can swap out their last pick for Andy Pettitte!

[Saxmania]

I think this is a sensible solution - you will know ahead of time if you want to punt a position, and CBS won't let you, so I endorse it.

Be seeing you,

It sounds fair to me.

And about your other "situation" I wish the best for you Gideon!

[gdn]

Well thank you, and Miko, I'm sending you a bill.

Could you guys put AJ Burnett on the disabled list for me? He's expected to miss at least the first 8 weeks of the season.

Ben, you know you can do it yourself if it's legit. Just post like you did.

Could one of you guys put Jorge De La Rosa on the DL for me? He's recovering from TJ surgery and won't be back until July.

[gdn]

So I have 2 somewhat related questions:

1. Can a mL player be put on the DL?
2. If he can't and I cut him, can I demote a player take in the ML draft to the mL as long as he hasn't crossed the threshold and is in the minors in real life?

Thanks!

1. NO. The DL is for ML players only.
2. Yes, but next year you still will need to use a ML keeper on them if you choose to keep the player.

Three words nobody ever wants to hear about one of their pitchers: Dr. James Andrews.

You still need to drop a player and pick up a catcher.

[Hitman23]

That's why I stayed away. As soon as I saw "shoulder" I didn't even want to look any more.

[Saxmania]

Done!

Yes, but a) I'm lazy, and b) when an AssCom is involved, it's good to have someone else to double-check your logic to avoid complaints, as I've found over the years.

Plus, I just really wanted to type that sentence.

Be seeing you,

[Stupid Flanders]

Tim Hudson to the DL please. Out until May.

You have 4 active Outfielders. You must have 3.
You have 6 active Starting Pitchers. You must have 5.
You have 4 active Relief Pitchers. You must have 3.

Is this sufficient to move Carpenter to the DL?

http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/new...s_stl&c_id=stl

Chris Carpenter returned to St. Louis on Tuesday to undergo a new series of tests after weakness in his right shoulder and neck resurfaced during the right-hander's session of catch on Monday. This latest interruption of his spring throwing program leaves Carpenter set to begin the season on the disabled list.

[Hitman23]

yep. done.
