Thank God we didn't.
I'm not in charge, Garth. Our "leaders" make the decisions and we just conform (yeah, right!). We had a fellow come in from the Dominican Republic League - MiLB class! He was working JV games!

If I had anything to say, I would deal with transfers in the fashion that you suggested, Garth but when you are dealing with "clicks" and "good'ol'boys", you just keep quiet. I do not subscribe to the "click" system so I am a renegade - kind of like I am here!
