[USML Announce] Daily Roster Audit Compliance Report & Other Stuff

[JOHN FRUIT]

Andy, I'll see you your Pedro Strop and raise you a Brayan Villareal.  Ouch.  Yes, Kerbs and Doug, he is one of the Tigers in the 5-deep reliever rotation.  At least in my case, he gave up a ringing 2-run double to light-hitting Brat Pedro Florimon, Jr. as part of his 8th inning implosion.

    As usual, Rich has the rules thing right.  But unless we change the
    text, I see absolutely no problem with using NL players, assuming
    they were properly rostered in the first place.  I am certain we've
    done this in the past, and many times it's for good reason.  Beyond
    using players for cap reasons, sometimes it's worth a gamble that
    the player might return to the AL the following year as a good
    keeper.  (I recall trading with Buddha for Cliff Lee who had been
    dealt the NL in-season and then returned to the AL in the
    offseason).  I also think we should count the stats of players who
    are traded across league lines during a season ... but suspect
    Kerber and I will continue to fight a losing battle on that one.

    

    Other things ...

    

    1.  Can we pass a rule that requires the Cubs to use major league
    players?  I watched the game last night and viewed the likes of Dave
    Sappelt, Alberto Gonzales, Brett Lillibridge, Scott Hairston, and
    Hector (not Bruce) Rondon.  Really??  And then the Cubs have the
    gall to run ads suggesting I pay $10K to watch these guys in a
    Nuveen skybox?  Fruiter ... you should be embarrassed.  As should
    Theo Epstein.

    

    2.  F*&k Pedro Strop and the horse he rode in on.  And to hell
    with so-called "safe relievers."  I should have had Humber and
    Ubaldo Jiminez active.  Anyway, if I'm lucky enough to have *any* of
    my pitchers go against the Cubs in interleague play, I'll damn sure
    have them active.

    

    That is all.  And when does the NFL break camp?

    

    Sadly,

    

    -Andy

            I'm happy to propose text to do what you
              suggest Mark, but can we do that in the off-season?  I
              won't forget.  It's reasonable to codify in season
              interpretations in the off season. I just don't want to
              get into the habit of tweaking the text of the rules in
              season.
