Rick-
Now I know that the game is on. A subtle dig at BJ Upton as "trading season"
heats up. Very Winick-esque!!

Greetings;
It's only mid-May, a whole lot of baseball left! Did anyone else see this
cool factoid that for a few days last week BJ Upton became the first player
since the immortal Dick Allen back in 1965 to simultaneously lead the league in
batting avg. and strikeouts? My man Rob Deer only fell about 150 points shy of
accomplishing this feat on an annual basis.

Lighten up there, Jeffrey!? I only meant that he was eligible to be traded!!?
When I want to talk about real hitters, I'll pen my essay about Jack Cust, who
in one week has more homers than Sweeney, King Bean, Gordon, and Butler
combined.? (Mark B. ... Cust is worth *at least* A-Rod ...)
Now let's get the other trades entered online and see whether anyone has a shot
at catching Gammons.

Further evidence that from the perspective of COPS the only distinction between
a bean and "real" player is whether or not the player in question is on the
roster of a member of COPS.? Ozzie has already said that Sweeney is only up
until Thome is activated.? How, exactly, does that distinguish him from, for
example,? King Bean, Brandon Wood who was up for a couple of weeks before
getting sent down?
?
Let's see, I'm trying to figure this out.? Sweeney is a "real" player because
Andy? traded him notwithstanding the fact that he's only been active for? a
couple of weeks.? Yet, according to both PT/KR and Andy, Phillip Hughes is a
"bean" because.....well, I thought it was because he was only active for a
couple of weeks.? And Brandon Wood is King Bean because....I don't know, I just
don't get it.

Sweeney's no beany -- he is the White Sox startling leftfielder, and an active
member of the K9!? (In fact, he replaced Jack "The Man" Cust, who hit *another*
dinger today.)
Again, I'm fine with this interpretation ... the trade takes effect next week,
and we have league "common law" on how the Barrett Rule works.

The irony, of course, is that Jim's rule was rejected in large part because of
the maneuvering done by Mr. Klein to ensure that his proposal to ban trading
prospects outright was considered before the reasonable? alternative of adopting
a June 1 limitation could be considered.? More ironic yet is the fact that Andy
will be the first team to trade a so-called magic bean in a dump trade this
year.? In the immortal words of Arsenio Hall:? "the things that make you go
hmmmm."
?
Although I also find it? ironic that but for Jim's objection, we would now be
adopting the very rule that he proposed, it seems to me that in light of Jim's
apparently vociferous objection, the rule must remain exactly as written.? Any
trade between Brad and Andy will have to wait until one week after Andy
activates Ryan Sweeney.

That's exactly what I'm suggesting.? I foresaw this exact possibility and
proposed a rule to deal with it.? My idea was rejected in the voting.? Hence
there needs to be a week delay on the transaction.

Are you suggesting that we specifically rejected what Andy seeks? and that he
needs to activate Sweeney and then wait a week before trading him to Brad?

These were the options.? I voted for 2A but 2B won.
?
2A.? Amend the USML Constitution by adding the following provision:
?
"From the commencement of the USML auction until June 1, if? a player whose USML
contract is not running is traded, that player will be deemed to be in the first
year of his USML contract without regard to whether the acquiring owner rosters
the player."
?
2B.? Amend the constitution by adding the following provision:
?
"From the commencement of the USML auction until? June 1, a team can not trade a
player whose USML contract is not running."

I believe if you review the history, you'll see that I proposed the variant that

the trade,? provided that the acquiring team did so on receipt.? However, when

variant was the? "simpler" version that? required the? player's contract had to

Are you ignoring Jim Barrett's personal proclamations concerning the Barrett

concerning the Constitution ...

Legislative history?

You might also recall that I circulated four possible variations of text for
this rule that dealt with this issue specifically, however, in order to simplify
things given the compressed time period in which we acted, I believe Jeff
circulated the simplest variant.? Gee, maybe we should allow more time to fuss
with rules.? Naah -- it's more fun this way.? (grin)

On the merits, I have no preference either way -- for this trade or future
trades.? My recollection is that the creator of the rule -- Jim Barrett --
suggested that players could be activated by the receiving team.
I will amend my usmltrans message on the assumption that the trade goes through
this week, as that seems to be the consensus (Doug notwithstanding).? Brad --
don't forget to activate Sweeney!!!

activation of a player whose contract isn't running to be coincident with the

today at noon. Commissioners ... a ruling please. I have Sweeney set to go
active today. Does that mean he is a Riptorn this week or next week? -Andy
