Quote:The thing I would point out here, regardless of whether you think what PcB did should be allowed, is that it is effectively contrary to a rule that we already have on the books, this is just a loophole, so I would encourage a vote against it just for the sake of consistency.
I just don't believe that's true. It may be contrary to the intentions that sparked the rule's creation, but it in no way violates the actual rule. And those intentions aren't ones that I necessarily agree with. I like the idea that a poorer team can seek kelp off the waiver wire to help become a better team the next year. Similarly, the Braves have opportunities to stash risky propositions of their 40-man that the Cubs cannot afford to take on right now due to the fact that they are competing to win this year. I'm not voting yet, but I'm having a hard time seeing why PcB or Ace's actions should inspire disapprobation.
