Guys,
I'll make this quick. Just had a nice conversation with KC Marlins Kirk. I wanted to get clarification on something, and I did. When Kirk joined us as a replacement to previous owner, it was February 4th and the keeper deadline was upon us. I gave him an extra 2 days to get his keepers squared away and I assumed he understood everything as he told me he did. Problem is he believed he was only able to keep up to 15 Marlins and 15 Royals - but from what was already listed as the previous owner's keepers.
I was kind of curious why he nominated Ruggiano when he could have kept him, and then another owner asked me about it too, and now I understand why. Kirk did everything he could to commit to our league, agree to take over the KC Marlins (not a juggernaut) and digest the extensive rules we had set forward. This little misunderstanding has now left him a little more behind the 8-ball.
Just wanted to gauge league opinion out there, and Kirk, please take no offense to any responses that may come. I would like to propose allowing him to add an additional 5 Marlins keepers (that are free agents that have not been posted on the bidding board yet). He only kept 7 out of 15 possible, but like I said, believed he was only allowed to choose from the previous owner's roster. This would allow him up to 12 Marlins, not even a full 15, but would allow him just a bit more of that dynasty feel we are so trying to build here.
Reply here with your thoughts. Obviously bidding on Ruggiano will continue as is on the board. Thank you.
