Taveras is still a top 5 prospect and I'm certainly not going to judge him based on what a 21 year old does in his first look at the bigs. He's pricier than I would like, but the savings on Dozier more than make up for it.
-
In all fairness to the leaders, that's not really my concern. I offered each of these players to everyone for over a week and didn't get a better offer.
-
And for fuck's sake, Taveras hasn't shown anything thus far and is going to be $13 next year. That's hardly a bargain of a prospect.
-
It's not so much that I think you and Tejas colluded against the rest of the league, it's that I don't think this trade is close enough of fair value to fair value, which isn't fair to the leaders of the league, intentional or not.
-
But I agree with Upton (just my fantasy philosophy) that the Veto button is more similar to an "I think these guys are colluding button" and less of a "I don't like this" button
-
Seriously Tejas? Puig and Kluber are better than Dozier and Baez is a better prospect than Taveras. Sheriff received 2 top players, an average player and 2 below average players. All the players your received are average or above and you gave up far less.
-
and got a couple of additional keeper "maybes". I made it clear that I was selling off these pieces and no one offered me anything close to better
-
Obviously I will respectfully disagree. I traded three guys who I was absolutely not going to keep (Gonzo, Cruz, Zobrist) and two that I probably would have. In return, I got improved on both the keepers (Dozier > Desmond and Taveras > Markakis)...
-
keepable, whereas nobody I traded save for possibly Cishek is all that attractive. Anyway, it is not like this is collusion so in my estimation it is not worth vetoing

more than anything else offered. So in my estimation the returns are roughly equal. I gave up the two best players in either of these trades, but did not give up a whole lot else. Where I'd say Strangers got a better deal is that Cruz and Desmond are
-
I'll answer also (note, I am not going to veto this trade): it probably isn't that different. Puig and Dozier have roughly equally valuable contracts. Kluber is 3rd, then Taveras. Maybe Castro has some value, but I got a great prospect, which is

How's this any different than Sheriff's trade with Upton? I'm asking YOU Ziegler...

Hahahaha, yeah, sure that's it. It's not that you're trading a very good player, a very good prospect and a bunch of shit for 2,500 points of very good players. We'll let the courts decide.
-
That's sour grapes right there folks. Your offers were laughable Ziegler.

Wow, Mother Teresa-esque generosity from Caminiti to TS. Veto.
-
Jeez, for that kind of hot 3-way action you'd think that the participants would earn a little more than $100...
-
The problem with your proverb, TS is the Sheriff's offense also averages more P/G than yours. I'm with Sheriff, the battle here is a menage a trois for third and the $100.

An old fantasy saying... "you can never depend on pitching". As far as I am concerned, this competition is still wide open.

Haha. As far as i am concerned the only person who has a chance to hold me off is The Ridiculous. You might as well start playing for next year.

Desperately shopping Taveras! Looking for an OF & 2B/SS to give me around 650+ total points going forward. Gotta hold of the Trade Sheriff.

That didn't take long. Someone believes the switch to pinstripes (and out of Petco) will revive Mr Headley.

Looks like it's time to pull the plug on 2014; no reason to hang around the middle of the pack. At the risk of attack from the Trade Sheriff, make an offer before the good players are gone.

I was referring to the Astros leaked trade chatter: The Astros asked for Dylan Bundy or Kevin Gasuman in return for Bud Norris. Which sounds hilarious, until you notice that they included Xander Bogaerts on the list of possible players they would want.
