That's an interesting observation Jim. 
? 
Are you suggesting that we specifically rejected what Andy seeks?and that he needs to activate Sweeney and then wait a week before trading him to Brad?

These were the options.? I voted for 2A but 2B won. 
? 
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."

I believe if you review the history, you'll see that I proposed the variant that the team trading the player away did not need to activate the prospect before the trade,?provided that the acquiring team did so on receipt.? However, when we did the actual voting,?my variant was not approved.? Rather, the winning variant was the?"simpler" version that?required the?player's contract had to be running at the time of trade.?

Are you ignoring Jim Barrett's personal proclamations concerning the Barrett Rule?? You're probably the type that ignores Thomas Jefferson's statements concerning the Constitution ...

Legislative history?

You might also recall that I circulated four possible variations of text for this rule that dealt with this issue specifically, however, in order to simplify things given the compressed time period in which we acted, I believe Jeff circulated the simplest variant.? Gee, maybe we should allow more time to fuss with rules.? Naah -- it's more fun this way.? (grin)

On the merits, I have no preference either way -- for this trade or future trades.? My recollection is that the creator of the rule -- Jim Barrett -- suggested that players could be activated by the receiving team.

I will amend my usmltrans message on the assumption that the trade goes through this week, as that seems to be the consensus (Doug notwithstanding).? Brad -- don't forget to activate Sweeney!!!

: <mailto:announce at usml.net>  Subject: RE: [USML Announce] **NOTICE OF HOT WAX SEAL** I don't have a strong view either way on this one. New Section 12.13 doesn't clearly address the matter. I wouldn't object to permitting the activation of a player whose contract isn't running to be coincident with the trade. -- Rich -----Original Message----- From: announce-bounces at usml.net: <mailto:announce-bounces at usml.net>  [

Commissioners ... a ruling please. I have Sweeney set to go active today. Does that mean he is a Riptorn this week or next week? -Andy Andrew R. Klein wrote: Happy Mother's Day.
