Annoying 11th Hour Roster Moves

It's one thing when you draft a team like AL LABR in early March - I can't complain too much that Matt Clement imploded, Jerry Owens was cut and Chris Shelton, despite hitting like Babe Ruth in spring training, was sent to Triple-A even though he had only Russ Branyan and Mike Sweeney to beat out for the 1B/DH spots. But to lose Gary Sheffield to a sudden decision to accept sunk cost, or discover that Sean Gallagher (Tout Wars team) got beat out by a bunch of rooks and scrubs - that's hard to take.

I suppose it's why some people don't like Stars and Scrubs - the former are too hard to replace when they get hurt, and the latter have such a tenuous hold on their jobs that the ax can fall at any time.

But that's what FAAB is for.
