[USML Announce] Rule change for 2006 to think about

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Buddha:
 
  We have discussed this on several prior occasions, and each time, league
sentiment favored not allowing the stats of players traded to the NL to
accumulate.  However, league sentiment can always change, so this is
certainly not set in stone.  I wonder, though, if we should table all of the
rules discussions until post-season, as we have traditionally done.

I would like to spin the wheels on a proposed rule change to begin in the
2006 season.  We put this one in place in my NL Roto league and it seemed
fairer and has worked well.  When a player is traded to the "Other League"
(NL in our case) his stats continue to accrue for your USML team.  Then, if
at the next roster freeze date he is still on an NL roster he would not be
eligible to be retained. 
 
 In addition we do not allow anyone who comes over from the "Other League"
to be claimed during the season but we don't use FAAB when picking up free
agents so i don't believe we need to implement that.
 
I feel that injuries are part of the game and should you get a guy that
breaks down, that is your tough luck but to have a player just plucked from
your roster in mid-season seems to put too much of an element of luck into
the equation.  Maybe there is history within the league that would keep
folks from supporting this rule and again i obviously shouldn't be
implemented to 2006 since certain players "trade probabilities" effected
their auction price but I would be interested in hearing people's comments.
