[USML Announce] Erratum

[Richard Robbins]

Do you recall if we've focused on this in the past?

I seem to recall instances where I've activated a player who was traded to
the NL to keep above the floor.  It might have been Derrek Lee a few years
back.  Or I could be imagining things.

That doesn't mean it was right to do so.
