[USML Announce] Vote by committee as a whole

[JOHN FRUIT]

I'm sympathetic to Frank's cause, but does that mean we have to go back and retroactively change all the bidding for prior years since the advent of OnRoto?

I vote no.

I vote yes to follow written rules or change said rules going forward.

Yimi Garcia will not be the difference maker this year. It’s not going to be that close for reasons that have nothing to do with free agent bidding.

And there’s no disappointment at Berliner HQ regarding the draft.  We got the top fantasy prospect in the 2021 draft at $5. That was the objective. That leaves me with him (Mayer), Kiriloff, Jung, Lacy, Kjerstad, Martin, Kelenic, and Rodriguez to pair with some combination of Lowe, Rosario, Alvarez, Larnach, Schoop, Karinchek, Sale, Loaisiga, and Kaprilian. That’s plenty to ensure that I don’t have to settle for a drive for five.

I vote against the proposal. Will look for some history when I return home later.

Dear Commissioner,

I would in fact like to put the disputed bid out for a vote by the committee as whole.

Your logic on the impact of Garcia is limited and flawed:

1) written rules affected my strategy for this bidding round, which means I may have ended up with Gomes or Hand outright. We’ll never know

2) counting stats matter … someone lost a title by **one** strikeout a few years ago and I lost thanks to Rougned Odor on the last day last season

3) Ryan Pressley gets hurt or is ineffective  … then what?

4) we have written rules. The fact that they may not have been updated is immaterial

Too many variables to dismiss this as a minor or inconsequential thing.

Finally, maybe you have “always done it this way.” Can you please cite precedents?

Thanks,
Frank
