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.

 

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.

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.

A.  Everyone could have done this.  I agree.  I would have the exact same problem if anybody else did it.  Don't know how else to say it.

 

B. I don't think it's a fair characterization to say you're cheating.  You found a loophole on an issue we've already dealt with.  We need to close that loophole (and we can close that loophole without harming you in any way other than you don't get the benefit of the loophole).
