By all means...no one is stopping you.
-
So, why is it not in my interest to veto every trade in the league for the rest of the season? It is in my best interest, not the leagues, just because it is an option does not mean that is the point of the option.
-
It?s the nature of a game. It?s not personal; it?s a game or business (or whatever you want to call it).
-
And since we have the ?free? option to veto a trade like this (which holds accountability) then I will continue to use that freedom when necessary. Along with others, I too have had trade rejections.
-
Some of us actually want to compete and win this league this year and not hand someone else a possible victory with one trade (debatable).
-
Yea, that?s not going to work for me and will not work for others. A message like this going to the #2 ranked player in the league should be called out, regardless of the good intentions or not.
-
Especially, when the message from Hillbilly Deluxe to Cuban Wrecking Crew stated: ?you?re a good 3b away from clinching the league....?
-
This clause is in place to hold us all accountable and give all of us the ability to keep a bad (really unbalanced) trade from occurring.
-
Thanks for the message John. Always good to hear from the Commish.
-
And in general, checking my team and mulling trades, is the most consistently fun thing I do online. (See how I tried to make that sound non-pathetic?) Anyways, thanks to everyone for being great league-mates.
-
Even though it sounds like I was yelling at you, I wasn't. I really want to thank everyone for their interest and active participation in the league this year. I think, despite this thing, it's been a great year. There are a lot of competitive teams.
-
He is playing for the future and having Buxton on his team is like getting that shiny new toy for Christmas. I have encouraged them to slightly rework the trade and re-propose it. I hope it will go through this time.
-
As to the trade itself, Buxton is currently ranked as the 16th best prospect on MLB.com, but is absolutely crushing it and will in all likelihood be a top 5 prospect next year, if not the top prospect overall. And Hillbilly Deluxe is a huge Twin's fan.
-
I know that vetos are there for a reason, but we really should view it as a Nuclear option. We all know how much work it is to make a trade that 2 people feel good about. And to have it vetoed is the least fun thing I can think of in fantasy.
-
The game is no longer fun. Both guys thought that the trade benefitted their teams and I can assure you there was no collusion. If I were them I would be tempted to quit the league and start up somewhere else.
-
Hey All, we had our first vetoed trade in league history last night. I understand that people felt strongly about it but the end result it that the guys involved in the trade (who are among the most active in the league) are a little disillusioned.

...
-
I'm used to the A's getting the shaft with Allstars, just more motivation. But wtf with the final vote being 5 random relievers? You coulda had Beltre, Longoria, and Donaldson all in there...
-
The fan vote is screwy, but so are the managers selections. O_o especially when pitchers get selected that wont even pitch.
-
HI BUDDY!
-
Thus, the issue with the fan vote. NO reason Bryce Harper should be starting (I realize this is NL, but same issue in both leagues)

No A's on the starting field roster for the All Stars? Seriously? No Donaldson? I mean he is on Dave's team and I still am concerned.
-
Wow! That is one amazing pitch! Thanks CC!

Apparently I suddenly like Mariners pitching prospects??? Don't think that was intentional

Since the responses I've received have been rather underwhelming to say the least, I've decided to downgrade my asking price. I will only ask for ONE shoelace OR pocket lint currently listed on the 15 or 60 day DL. Either will be fine! ;-)

Maybe PED's should be legal for the sake of Fantasy Leagues!

I realize that BJ Upton has been terrible but I was hoping he might still have a little bit of trade value which is why I'm putting this out there to the league. (cont).....

I'm thinking of offering some pocket lint for BJ Upton, but my pocket lint pulled a hamstring running out a bunt, so it has joined the rest of my team on the disabled list.
-
...if you have any interest in BJ Upton please let me know. I will not be asking for much obviously; I was thinking something like a pair of shoe laces, an old newspaper, or possibly some pocket lint . Any takers please message me.

I have found no such link.
-
It does seem weird. Especially since there is a record of all the trades that I have proposed since the beginning of time. But I don't know of any such link.
-
Is there a way to see the history of our league? For example, a way to see the final standings from last year. Seems weird that a link to this doesn't exist.
