[USML Announce] Waivers and FAAB $$

[Andrew R. Klein]

A league question.  

I obtained Erick Almonte in the reserve round draft, when he was on the Yankee's roster.  He was subsequently cut and signed by Colorado.  I sought FAAB compensation ($2) for the waiver.

Mark B. correctly points out that the language of our rules (Art. XIV, 6) mentions only "trades" to the NL as triggering compensation.  My recollection is that we have always allowed compensation for anyone who is signed by a NL club during the year, whether by trade or not.

What is everyone's memory on this?  The $2 are not a big deal, but I'd like to know that we're applying the rule consistently.

  But he was a Yankee when we drafted.  So I think the $2 was appropriate.

I'm pretty sure he has to be traded....but I'll do whatever a majority says.
