Dan touched on something in describing the value of players in the Gallardo deal that I want to run by you guys. Should we continue to allow free agent rights to be owned by their teams AFTER the season is over? For example, in real life the Rangers lost the rights to Cliff Lee the second that the World Series ended. In our league, we control their rights until December 15th. Colby explained to me that this works like a "sign and trade", but those kind of deals only happen in basketball and never in baseball. I'm not crazy the current rule, because it allows teams to play out the season with their free agents and never have to make the painful real life choice of whether or not to trade them for something before the trade deadline.
I will put Milwaukee in the mix. I think there the 3rd best team in the division. However I now say the Phils will win the division and the Braves will fall short. Phils become clear front-runners in the East.
