Wasn't Keattes a Rule V?

I released him instead of returning him.

By rule he goes back to Mississippi.

Okay? Not sure that's my problem. I released him. Game didn't stop me. Take it up with Clay.

Funny, I offered a minor league contract to Tommy Keatts. He responds and tells me that he's worked hard to make it to the major leagues and that if I want to retain his services I'll have to do better than a minor league offer.

Then I'm informed the next day that he's signed with Virginia......to a minor league offer.

But our first rounder debuts at #26 so that's good.

Speaking of Keats, he was a Rule V pick from my team. Are they allowed to be cut? I figured he should come back to my squad.

[Clay]

I will put him back in Mississippi.

Carlos - In the future, if you can't take 5 seconds and post in the RULE V RETURN THREAD, please don't participate in the Rule V draft. The game doesn't do it.

Seriously, I'm here all the time. Really want to think that was the issue?

I released him because I could. I was responsible for his contract. Trust me, if I cared that much about the contract, I would have returned him.

I'm not even gonna ask for the money back. I thought the point of returning players is to avoid being responsible for the contract.

I was wrong. I'll make sure to just return them in the future.

Great speech.... but you don't get the money back anyway.

Returning is not an option, it's a rule for participating. Read up on it.

Like I said, I misunderstood the reasoning for returning and I already said I'm not asking for the money back.

You're misunderstanding the money I gave up by releasing him. I paid out the remainder of his contract for the season, which I wouldn't pay if he wasn't on my roster as of whatever day I placed him in the returns thread.

So my move hurts me. I admitted to that and held responsibility for it. What's the point of your post?

Anyway, I made a mistake. My fault.

Not trying to start an argument over it though I know I did with my initial post to Pat.

I'm sorry. You'll get your returns in the thread from now on.

So I guess I probably should just wait for everyone on my team to get hurt on the squad sometime this year.

This is f'n ridiculous.

Well things got testy in here quickly.

As for this week...

Offense was rolling along. Pitching not so much.
