      - Teams cannot trade picks that they are not going to use.  For example if you only have 5 spots to fill in the
        draft that means you cannot trade your 7th Round Pick.
      - League Manager will keep track of all draft picks trades in a thread on the league forum.

        is getting taken advantage of should be voted against.

  League Etiquette:
      - Respond to trades and e-mails in a timely manner.
      - Provide feedback on trade offers over flat out rejections.
      - Try to reel back on the harsh language when responding back.  Some owners views on the value of certain
         types of players differ (ie prospects, pitchers, hitters, even draft picks).
      - Try to keep discussions over chat and threads at least semi-civil.  
      - Don't air dirty laundry in front of the entire league.  It's a bit on the childish side.  If you have an issue with
        something take it up with that owner or the LM.
      - Let the LM know if you're going to be away for any time over a week.
