Compensation Picks

For everyone who reads this a month or two from now, I would like to make a proposal.

I believe that we should have compensation picks for unexpected events. A couple years ago I lost Nick Adenhart to the tragic car accident. Furthermore, there have been other deaths that have occurred, and I think all of which deserve a compensation pick. With the kidnapping of Wilson Ramos, I believe this is an event that should also trigger a compensation pick. My thinking is during the offseason draft, the person with the compensation would make their automatic pick between rounds 2 and 3.

If anyone has any other thoughts (how structure this proposal, oppose this proposal, or support this proposal) I would be all ears.

Three-team trade

I am pleased to announce a three-team trade in which I am probably getting my ass kicked.

Jonathan gets: Ben Revere, Chris Archer
Andy gets: Jason Kipnis, Kyle Gibson, 100% Gregor's 2012 DD
Gregor gets: Mike Minor

This post will serve as a pending trade, with Jonathan and Andy to soon confirm. After the standard pending period, Steve will manually adjust rosters in accordance with the trade.
