[USML Announce] FA designation question

[Jeffrey Winick]

Not so silly actually.

The rule was instituted to ensure that players like Castillo and other free agent players brought up for a cup of coffee at the end of the season aren’t snapped up at a time when many teams are no longer paying attention.  As I recall, we used to simply disallow FAAB pickups in September and October.  We now allow them, but provide that the players can’t be kept.

Well, that seems silly.  But oh well.

Dennis, players acquired by FAAB after 9/1 are automatically designated FA.  See Rule 8.5, last sentence.

To the powers that be,

I just noticed that Rusney Castillo's designation on the league site is "FA" even though I purchased him through FAAB for $5 on Sept 21st last season.  Shouldn't his designation be either 0 or Y1?

He would likely be one of my keepers, so I am hoping this is just a typo/glitch of some sort, but let me know if I am mistaken.

Thanks,
Dennis
