LaPorta and the Like
LaPorta, Bryson, and Zach Johnson will not be available as roster additions once the trade for CC goes through. I'll try to stay on top of the trades from AL-NL and post a list either on the blog or the yahoo site of the blacklisted players.
Man. This is nuts. Everyone was looking for pitching as it was, and there go Harden and Gaudin (who pitched well earlier this season, and probably would have taken Harden's rotation spot).
One thing we should discuss, and I think prohibit, is picking up players who are currently in the NL in the hope they end up in the AL next season. I'm not even sure if it is possible, for example, to pick up Sabathia once I drop him, but I don't think someone should be able to pick him up, or Teixeira solely on the hope that they sign with an AL team next year.
Yeah, Sabathia doesn't show up any longer in the player pool, so it looks like it won't be a problem. I didn't really expect anyone to try and be devious like that, but the possibility of someone trying it crossed my mind.

And say goodbye to Rich Harden.
ouch. jesus. our already thin pitching rosters are getting stretched thinner.

Time to Spencer's Youth Pitching Extravanganza - 1 weeks.

It probably wouldn't be possible for us to pick him up, but I think that rule pretty much already applies anyway.
I am pretty sure CC and Harden won't be available as free agents once we drop them. No using proxies to pick them up either.

Fair enough. CC's gonna be a first round pick next season if he ends up with the Yankees.
