Under the rule we have now, as i understand it, for (a) the player is kept at the round at which he was drafted. for (b), the player is kept at the lowest-nth round.<BR/><BR/>The "no" option clearly destroys this difference, by changing the result in (a) to equal the result in (b) above. The "yes" option also destroys this difference, I think, by changing the result in (b) to equal (a) [if "resign" means free agent pickup by anyone, not just the drafter]. <BR/><BR/>I reject that these are the only options - most importantly, because the poll does not seem to allow us to maintain the current rule [unless "resign" is limited to the drafter, in which case the "yes" option just maintains the current rule - but i think that this construction is insensible]. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I like law school. Finally, I refuse to vote in this poll, since I want to keep the current rule.carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727408403605785175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20276223.post-1137875476341970542006-01-21T14:31:00.000-06:002006-01-21T14:31:00.000-06:00I guess this is more of a nostalgia based league t...I guess this is more of a nostalgia based league than a results oriented league - which is A-OK by me. I wonder if i can make a team entirely with guys who sport mustaches, like the 72 A's?
