Not that we need another post about the subject, but the "usual" rules from the Progressives I've played in for many seasons is that if a player is mistakenly omitted from the "availables" list (and that is how the list is titled here), then he is not available to anyone until the next year. While it's true this player list hasn't always been up-to-date, I've always used it as my cross-check as to who is available and who is not (and of course also looking at the more recent picks). So, while it could have been stated in the league rules as it is many other leagues I've played in, this approach is the norm from what I have seen anyway. As Derek2HOF has said, the commish has ruled and we need to respect that and move on.
