I thought I remembered that it's the former, and Andrew thinks so too. But to me that doesn't make a lot of sense. It's silly that I have to hold on to Erik Bedard even though he's out for the year, just to keep someone from keeping him in the 20th round. Wouldn't it make more sense that you have to keep a player in the position he was originally drafted?

I didn't think that we had decided on the round 20 limit yet.
I can't remember if we had a date designated for this purpose this year or not, but in the past I remember that a player had to be on a teams roster before a certain date in order to be eligible to be kept. This would solve that problem for you, because you could drop the player after this date and then no one could keep him. Am I remembering this correctly?
That is the rule but keepers must be on your roster as of the trade deadline to be kept. I think the rule make sense in the case of players that were drafted and dropped b/c you are essentially saying that they are worth less than a free agent. If you hold onto Bedard for another week, problem averted. Also, if you think a guy is worth keeping why not make a trade instead of dropping him?
