Team A and Team B both put in a waiver wire claim for Deion Branch this week.
In our ESPN league (really starting to hate that league site
) ESPN made a correction to the scores on Thursday, which caused Team A's score to be lowered by 2 points, which caused them to lose to Team C.
Prior to the scoring update, the waiver wire process had concluded, awarding Deion Branch to Team B who was lower in the standings, and thus higher in waiver wire priority.
Team A is now arguing that Deion Branch should be his, because, but for the scoring error, he would have had waiver wire priority over Team B. This is true.
Team B is arguing it should retain Branch because, all year long we have just gone by what ESPN's website determined, rather than open up Pandora's Box. Tis is also true.
I can see both sides of the argument.
I am appealing to the collective wisdom of the Shark Pool to help me figure this one out.
So who gets Branch, Team A or Team B?
