Subject: Yankees votes and discussion

On 75-1 announcing claims before the lottery, I vote NO for two resons.

First, claiming a player makes that player a restricted free agent. I
cannot trade him for the length of his contract. Now, if I were to get the
first pick in the lottery, I would not have to claim my player and would
therfore have more options open to me to improve my poor team (I am in the
lottery so I must have a bad team.)

Second, again, if I am in the lottery, by locking myself into a claim, what
if I claim a player thinking I would get a high draft choice only to win the
lottery and have a shot at getting Niekro or Cruz for a long run on my team
when my claim is only ggod for 2 or 3 seasons (if that).

On 75-2 I like this idea a lot and whoever came up with it ought to be
commended. Yankees give a resounding YEA on this one.

Chris
