I don't think he snuck in. You're picking players based on instant ratings and they can change. But your criteria at the time he surely belonged.

Hahahaha Tommy was always great with the quips. Despite this one having a slightly unsavoury racist feel to it...
Yeah I think you are right. So far I've only noticed Jetes as a definite ringer, but I'm sure there are a few others, despite how fastidious I am being at Draft time culling the pool of big names. You can only do so much going off the ratings. It's a random debut league so some of these guys are being imported in the twilight of their career and thus their ratings on import are below my threshold and if I don't see them they get in. I don't really mind it so much here and there (as long as players like the Babe or Ted Williams don't get through my eagle eyes), especially with Derek who you just can't help but like as a bloke and admire as a player, even if you hate the Yanks (which I don't; nor do I go for them - I'm an A's man!!).
