By my count, the tally is currently as follows:
1. Allow trading of FAAB dollars: 6 in favor, 2 opposed, 3 not voted. This
rule change has been adopted.
2. Allow stats of players traded into the NL: 4 in favor, 4 opposed and 3
not voted.
3. Revision to Anti Dumping Rules: 4 for A, 3 for C, 4 not voted.
On proposals 1 and 2 we are waiting on votes from the newest owner (not
Buddha), Doug Shabelman and Rick Gammons.
On proposal 3 we are waiting on votes from the above three plus the Brats.
Once we get this wrapped up we can turn to clarifying the few outstanding
issues. One is FAAB rebates for players released and then picked up by NL teams.
I would suggest that if we adopt alternative C, we're also going to have to
figure out how to deal with the salary floor. Proposal C would leave
unresolved the loophole that allows teams to effectively drop their salary to less
than $100 of real player value (given an ability to buy a $100 FAAB player and
the ability to roster potentially worthless $10 and $15 reserve round players).
