i thought we had until 10/31.

i'm no baseball historian, but i'm guessing schilling has played more than three major league seasons.
-
That's my understanding too; an exemption means keeping a player after the year without counting against the point limit for keeping players for the next year.Right. You don't use exemptions for someone before they even debut. This is Bonderman's third year, so this is his third, and final, exemption. Adam, of course, is very interested in this conversation with Teixeira and Matsui being third year players. :D eh, slightly interested perhaps. :D

yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I was thinking Bay was exempt because he didn't lose his rookie eligibility in 2003. Bonderman had a full year in 03. I assumed he wasn't exempt because of that. I'm not complaining about getting the 5th best offensive player in baseball for free. My understanding is that the exemptions start the first season a player appears in a major league game, regardless of whether he plays enough to lose rookie status for the next year. So, for example, Greenburg's one plate appearance for the Cubs this year starts the exemption clock ticking and he'd be exempt through 2007. Well, in that case neither Bonderman or Bay would be exempt. he would be points free through the 2007...which means you can keep him for free after the 2007 season. he'd use his first exemption after 2005. his second after 2006, and his third after 2007. so he'd be exempt going into the 2008 season...at least that's how i understand it.

one exemption after 2003, one after 2004, one after 2005. bay's exempt also in the same fashion.
-
offense, please.
-
worst case scenario for you...killed you, helped the cards. if he was gonna suck, he could have at least sucked in the playoffs.

yeah, everybody lay off his fb! -
i certainly didn't feel good about things until shelton homered and wags got the save. nsbb made a valiant comeback effort.
-
i liked when macias swung at a 3-1 pitch in the first. i could almost feel lee rolling his eyes in the on deck circle.
-
thanks guys...my offense sucked this week, but my pitching made up for it. it also didn't hurt that tim's pitching fell apart. i'm glad tim and i got to match up for the final...however, i do wish we had both been at full strength. i'm not sure i had the best team at the end, though...i've got a lot of work to do for this off-season!
-
oh, that's great...tracy says weaver won't make his last start so young guys can get some innings. and then he throws elmer dessens. [expletive].
-
if you had to guess who the guy to kill you would be, wouldn't you guess that it would be...SHELTON, BABY!!!!!!
-
NEITHER kent nor gonzo is in their lineup. ridiculous.
-
it's running kinda slow. and now lee's out. :evil: :evil: single for cano. urbina, if you eff up wagner's save chance, i swear...
-
awesome...teix and blalock are taken out the game. unbalanced schedule next year!!!!!
-
all right...i can't sit here and watch this all day. i'm off to the gym. make sure none of your guys do anything while i'm gone. dp for weeks!
-
Chipper + Barmes + Bonderman for Tejada + Zimmerman. :D heh...now you're turning this into a trade thread? :D easy does it, philly, i need a save.
-
i hate burnitz. also, i'm tiring of blalock and tejada. i want to trade them both.
-
[expletive]...homer for chipper, dp for blalock.
-
you do realize that everyone else in the league hates this thread, don't you? zimmerman's pretty awesome, by the way.
-
If I were you, I'd be worried about the Berkman/Maddux matchup. oh, i am. come on, dp...
-
sac fly for abreu, error for teix, barmes grounds out. can't complain too much about a run for the phils...i could use a wagner save. not that i'm following all these games or anything... :D
-
every time jose macias swings at a 3-1 pitch while batting 2nd, a little piece of derrek lee dies.
