Veto of recent trade is bullshit. Timmyjoe needs to respond.

what was the trade

M. Ramirez
A. Ramirez

for

M. Holliday
E. Encarnacion
F. Rodney
A. Burgos


no collusion....different needs on respective teams

let me guess, you're getting the Ramirez's

yes

just let the majority of the league decide, or did they and is that why it's vetoed?

if 1/3 of the league rejects it, then it's vetoed.

sports





+1

why wouldnt it be 2/3

where the hell did everyone just come from?

i understand you can make a case why the trade is my favor but we haven't heard from timmyjoe yet on why he wanted the trade.


all i know is that every player i've offered in the trade is ranked higher in our league (to date) and the guys i'm offering are young and up and coming and the guys i want are veterans with good track records.


it's sour grapes....i'm guessing timmyjoe gets 5 trade offers this week.


i may just drop all my guys and bail on the league and be done...i argued about trades in the past as was told to take a hike. We'll see.

It is bullshit that the league's rules were followed?

league did veto it

i can make a case that t hudson and J morneau for t glaus is unfair but it went through fine.

package any deal w/ tim giving him a cincy red and he'll bite every time

Does that make it wrong?

nope, not if he agrees to it.

i can't believe that timothy actually accepted that trade and then decided to drop josh beckett as well.

here are the stats:

M Holliday - 19runs 7 HR's 29 rbi's avg .281 (26 years old)
E. Encarn... 21runs 5 HR's 26 rbii's avg .295 (23 years old)

f rodney - 5 saves 12k's 0.00 era
a burgos - 4 saves 16k's 3.38 era




m ramirez - 19 runs 5hr's 16 rbi's avg .314 (34 years old)
a ramirez - 17 runs 6hr's 12 rbi's avg .220 (27 years old)

what does that have to do with the trade? i find it funny that 85 in the shade was going to accept the trade until he realized that he had the lowest waiver wire pick and wouldn't be able to get j beckett.

it was already addressed that timmy wants to keep beckett because it was an accident dropping him.


sour grapes i tell ya.

why the hell would anyone drop beckett?

mistake. timmy pm'd me about it.

commish was informed on yahoo message board as well.

if we were in a keeper league, then their ages would matter. it's not like you're looking out for long-term interests in our fantasy baseball league, though.

if you're going to complain about this trade not going through because people think it's lopsided, then offer it again in two weeks or a month.

and, for the record, i rejected it because of the seemingly lopsidedness (like manny isn't going to fucking rake once it gets warm? like aramis isn't going to get an offensive bump when derrek lee returns?). oh, and i'd never have done it myself. but whatever, i shouldn't've rejected it just because i thought it was lopsided, since timothy accepted it. and it's not like i was the only one either.

true. i obviously think i'm getting the better end of the deal but timmy has reasons why he likes it. i think manny and aramis will come around...i'm sure timmy think encarnacion will ne a big star and that holliday may reach 40 & 120 in Coors...with some added saves from the relief guys. i'll offer the trade again tomorrow but why.......apparently ever trade should be vetoed.......if you think one side is better than the other it should be vetoed.

This is the problem with allowing leagues to vote on trades. The commish alone should arbitrate all trades, and unless it's obvious collusion, all trades should be allowed.
