Buddha,

The Klein proposal was either voted down or withdrawn, depending upon who you
ask.  The Barrett proposal, on the other hand, requires a vote:

Although as a general matter, I don't support last minute rules changes, I
believe that given present circumstances this is a rules change that is worthy
of a vote at this time.

The choices are three:

1.  Leave the constitution unmodified and continue to allow teams to trade
players who's USML contracts are not running without any limitations.

2A.  Amend the USML Constitution by adding the following provision:

"From the commencement of the USML auction until June 1, if a player whose USML
contract is not running is traded, that player will be deemed to be in the first
year of his USML contract without regard to whether the acquiring owner rosters
the player."

2B.  Amend the constitution by adding the following provision:

"From the commencement of the USML auction until June 1, a team can not trade a
player whose USML contract is not running."

For purposes of making the decision easy, vote for either 1 (Constitution
unmodified) or 2 (Constitution modified).  If you vote for 2, indicate whether
you support 2A, 2B or both.  If the majority vote to amend the USML
Constitution, then the proposed alternative with the greater number of votes
will be adopted, effective immediately (i.e. as of the commencement of the 2007
auction).

I believe that there is a consensus regarding the wisdom of amending the USML
Constitution to address this issue.  A similar rule has been adopted in 4 of the
5 other leagues I play in.  It has been quite successful in diminishing the ill
will created by early season dump trades involving minor leaguers and, I
believe, can defuse what otherwise appears to be a potentially controversial
issue for the USML.
