No sweat! Wasn't saying trade was a joke I don't even think it's unfair or anything I just was amused by the comments... Thought maybe it was an accident or something.
-
I took what I could get.
-
No joke. I just don't like prospects. But my team went the way of the Astros so I needed to sell. It appears their are limited buyers so
-
Wait you both hated the trade that got accepted? Was this a joke or something?

Would the extent of the injuries, or the missed playing time be the tiebreaker??

Question re Utley Auction: If one of us bids two knees of a second sacker, and another bids two knees of a SS, who wins the bid?

Wow, another pretty crazy trade. I suppose it's balanced but it seems so early in the season. I guess this is Ottoneu!

Hi team, in case anything goes down with that contentious trade, and everyone's like "where is the commish?", know that i'll be asleep overnight and unable to put out any fires. Cheers, Gareth

Fwiw I meant the fashionable form of rage..... if anyone wants to trade me 3 valuable pieces for seager let me know.
-
No apology required! Not offended at all, I have just seen how it can descend quickly (e.g. meltdowns last year), so am keen to make this a friendly league where we can have civil differences of opinion and then move on once an issue is settled. I just want people to have fun :-)

My sincere apologies if I offended you with my strong language. I'll tone it down going forward.
-
Underlying my thoughts are that this is a great group of players. Who play in multiple leagues and are pretty experienced with ottoneu and fantasy generally. People only raise concerns when they feel something egregious has occurred. That said, the vote must be the deciding factor. That's what the veto setup is for, in my opinion - as a check and balance system.

Stringer, you're correct. We are only playing for bragging rights (more or less). That makes it all the more strange to use such strong language as 'draconian'. It's for fun. I am keen for the discourse to remain civil rather than dick-swinging. I also think that despite the generally accepted rule of 'don't veto unless collusion can be proved', that in itself is just another black and white view. Things have to be nuanced, even the 'free market'. I hope everyone takes that into consideration

Player valuation doesn't work that way, Ridge Raptors. I also don't think traders should have to defend their trade eval and process in this manner. Seems a bit draconian, especially when all we're playing for is bragging rights.
-
WoF.....thanks for the rationale.
I think collusion is difficult to prove, and for me, not the only reason to veto a trade. The simple bottom line is with this trade is that Byron Buxton is valued at $52, which reveals the inherent inequity of the trade.
-
Thanks, Chris for the reasoned explanation. I think everyone can make an informed vote.

so apparently the 500 character limit is off... first post should end,"break this or any subsequent seasons" and the 2nd one "that's my piece."

...As far as vetos go. Personally i'd only veto suspected collusion and deals that i felt could "break a season". If you all veto this then, that's the league's call. Affirmed, i'd be happy to renegotiate. And just to be clear, i do know i over paid for Byron. Affirmed can attest to my multiple attempts to reduce the price. To me the potential future value was worth leaving me with nothing in '16. I did not / do not want to break the '16 season just b/c i'm sitting it out. That's my pi
-
Hey all. If you've looked at my roster i value the '16 season very little, i'm targeting '17 and after to be a serious contender. The only '17 keeper to me was Nick and i fought to get him out of trade. I view this as in '17 and after Byron>Nick. With regards to this season, i did consider weather this would "break the season". In my opinion it doesn't, but that's 1 of 12 owners opinions. I do not want to "break the season" nor would i want someone else to break this or an
-
There's no reason to veto that trade. We all value players differently. There are plenty of question marks on both sides. Nothing that reeks of collusion here.
-
I only used that word in reference to Illitch's post, my friend! I won't speak for "Who's on First," but I'm sure he has his own reasons. Maybe shoot him a message?
-
Affirmed......Not sure where or why you even use the word "rage." My question was a reasonable request for the rationale behind the trade. The swap appears imbalanced, collusion or not. Trades should have some semblance of parity (I think that's one of the reasons for league approval), and I didn't see it on this trade. Hence, the question.....
-
I'm missing the rage here. I suppose we have different philosophies when it comes to deploying a "veto". Personally I only use it when I feel like a trade is borne out of collusion or spite...
-
I don't get the Anti-veto rage...I use it often. I would rather have all 3 players over Buxton in fgpts. Clear veto for me.
