Quote:Here's what I will say: you raise separate and unrelated questions regarding whether we should consider restrictions on keeping players signed late in the season. That's a question worthy of further discussion.My problem with this is that anybody could have done the same thing. Everyone has a bench spot they can spare. If someone else did it, I probably wouldn't be happy about it, but I wouldn't say they were cheating either.
That question is separate and apart from your circumventing a process that we have previously dealt with: which is having teams sign players who: (1) are ineligible to play at the time they are signed; (2) are signed for the sole purpose of keeping with a 7th round pick; and (3) are signed at a time where it is effectively no burden to keep them on the team's roster. This is a problem that we decided years ago should not be allowed. You found a slight variation on a problem that's already been dealt with.
