[USML Announce] Two Rule Proposals

[springkerb at aol.com]

I think it would be very hard to craft a rule that would accomplish that purpose without skewing the exiting rules.

That's a really interesting idea Jim.  I'm very curious about what people think 
about that possibility.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  My initial thought 
is that we should not allow transferred FAAB to balance an otherwise imbalanced 
trade.  I say that just to be conservative.  I offered the proposal merely 
because I thought it was interesting and because it might add a fun element to 
the game.  If it could be used to diminish the force of our existing rules re 
imbalanced trades that might be too much.  It's an intriguing thought though.

I'm in favor of the FAAB fund trading but have a question?- should/can FAAB 
funds be used to help balance trades? 
? 
I'm opposed to the NL stats proposal.

I've got two rule proposals.? I'll leave it to Packer Fan Mark to call for a 
vote at the appropriate time.  
The first is that we permit FAAB funds to be traded (which I'm proposing on a 
whim) and the second is to count in-season statistics of players traded to the 
NL. 
Here is the text to implement each.  
Proposal ? Permit Trading of FAAB Funds  
Proposed Revised Section 12.6  
Trades may include FAAB funds (as defined in Section 14.2).? Trades involving 
FAAB funds shall be reported and become effective in accordance with Section 
11.3.? No trade may be made for players to be named later, Auction funds, 
Rotation Draft positions or picks or future considerations of any kind. 
Proposal ? Count Statistics of Players Traded to the National League  
In order to implement this proposal, we would delete Section 14.6 and the 
references to Section 14.6 found in Section 15.5 and 16.5. 
We would add the following text as a new Section or perhaps a stand-alone 
Article:  
The statistics of a player who is on the Active Roster or the Reserve Roster of 
any League team and who is traded to the National League during the course of a 
season will be included in calculating the cumulative statistics of the League 
team that owns that player as if he remained in the American League.? The player 
can be activated, reserved, waived or traded by his League team, on the same 
basis as if he remained in the American League, except that if he is waived he 
may not be claimed on waivers.? This Section shall not limit the application of 
Section 17.1.
