Ichiro for sale
Ichiro for sale. In good condition; only looking to sell because the pinstripes clash with my ideology. Batting average is lower than when new, but still provides good speed, and a change of scenery should be salutary. 90 cents on the dollar obo.

Salary Cap Question
I think we've come across a rules issue that we haven't explicitly dealt with before. I drafted Pineda for $9, cut him, re-added him, and traded him to Kate. Can I now subtract $9 from my salary, and add $9 to Kate's? Either way, we're both within the salary limits, so the trade is legal, but I would like to have the extra $9 flexibility for any future trades that might happen.
The way I see it, we have 2 rules that contradict each other here:
1) If you trade a player you drafted, you transfer his salary.
2) If you trade a player you claimed on waivers, your salary is unaffected.
I don't think there's anything explicit in our rules which forces us to choose one way or the other, so we may need a commish ruling or a vote. My preference would be to lean towards the side of allowing us more salary flexibility, but I'm fine either way. Thoughts?
Also, did we ever settle on when we would have our trade deadline?

Worst...Day...Ever
I'm sure a lot of people think their team has had the worst day ever, but I think I might actually have it.
My batting line: 2/29 (.069 average, dropped season average by .0017), 2 runs, no RBI, no home runs, no stolen bases.
My pitching line 4.1 IP 14 hits, 8 walks, 7 earned runs (dodged a bullet there- Tillman had SIX unearned runs in two thirds of an inning), 4Ks. ERA of 16.62 (season average up by 0.086) and a WHIP of 4.85 (season average up by 0.0247).
So, I'm afraid that kills my chances of finishing with a respectable point total. At this point, I'm open for business on dump trades.
Edit: I've added a "Worst Day Ever" tag to the post. I figure when someone else has a terrible day they can make a post with the same tag and we can see how things look over time.
