And I still have K. Robinson, forgot about him
And if anyone actually believes I mentioned anything yesterday in a dastardly plan to get the players myself, please veto the trade. Seriously.

I got Rob’s whole farm system. And the Cubs 🤣 also I did send Amos a partial version of the trade which he will have a chance to refuse or accept before I move on.
-
I think we’re seeing some conflict of interest on Rob’s part here... (not really, just giving you a hard time)
-
I’ve been in leagues on other sites that vote on trades too. It’s helpful to have a recourse in the case of collusion or the occasional last-place owner trying to flip the table over, but in practice too many people use it to object to trades just on the basis of being lopsided. This league is good about that, though. I can’t recall a serious debate about a trade that was made in good faith.

Looks like we hit 7 vetoes and the trade will not go through. Appreciate the assistance...

The voting on trades is just an Ottoneu thing, I believe most of us ignore it 99% of the time. But I suppose if a trade seems particularly one-sided it’s there to keep the league in balance.

Well, i guess I'll join in just for grins.......why do we vote on trades to begin with? Why bother at all? What exactly is the purpose of allowing a vote?

I do want to apologize tho. Especially to Amos. I’m not sure how I screwed up the offer I thought I checked by clicking on Sanchez but I must have just entered the name Sixto Sanchez into player search. Then I clicked on the names and made offer. It is on me ultimately to triple check. But to my credit (hahah) I’ve been in the league since its inception and never done this before so I do appreciate a mulligan!
-
To be clear, I don’t generally believe that imbalanced trades should be vetoed. Presumably the owners involved know how they personally value the players, so that’s fine even if I don’t agree, and it’s on the rest of us for not making a better offer. My thinking here was that there was an error that both owners wanted to undo, nothing about whether it was a “balanced” trade.
-
I don't personally feel it's vetoable but I can completely understand the Sixto Sanchez thing, so out of consideration I voted veto.

My initial take on the trade was that it was imbalanced, but I let it go since that's we often do. However, the commentary last night made me realize the initial impression was on target. I've since vetoed the trade.....

I normally never veto trades, but if both participants are requesting it I’ll make an exception
-
Well if everyone vetoes it before the deadline (believe it’s 24 hours) I won’t have to do anything. If it still goes through, we can discuss.

Somewhat old and confused here too. I was a highly impressionable 10 year-old back in 1986. Suffering Bears and Mets fan since...
-
I proposed the trade so I have no excuses. But that’s what was in my head. It was late and I must have been confused and old. But I figured my mistake.
-
CGT, I don't know if your commissioner tools will allow you to delete an unfair trade. Regardless, please do so. I had that taste of being in 1st place (within the confines of Ottoneu) a couple of days ago...and couldn't believe my eyes this morning. Just being honest.
-
Helluva an oversight, definitely would have been a fairer trade though. Did seem like a light haul for you but mostly don’t want Amos improving... which was what my comment was about

I don’t know if it would have made a difference but I thought I was acquiring Sixto Sanchez ... and clicked on his name today to do further gawking and it went to Jesus Sanchez and I honestly don’t know how I missed that.

My team is poorly constructed and poorly managed. Lindor is 1/2 of himself and now I’ve lost Trout. Which is all to say I have a couple good pitchers and correa who are trade worthy. Looking for stellar prospects maybe paired with serviceable replacement level players. Or maybe young players who are underperforming. Like me. Except I am not young.

Thanks. That did it. I must’ve missed that he pitched last year. I saw the SP eligibility and figured it was a glitch.
-
Yeah, two-way players are a PITA that way. You have to manually bench the player that's in the spot you want Cronenworth, then you should be able to move him into the lineup. Basically, you can only move a two-way player to and from open lineup spots - something about the "swap with another player" logic doesn't work. If that doesn't work, I'd post something on the message board ("community" link at the top right) and see if there's a bug.
-
I tried to insert Cronenworth in my starting lineup this morning, but all of eligible positions are grayed out. I thought maybe it’s a glitch but it’s showing the same for tomorrow. I can only IL him or put him in Minors. Has anyone experienced that before?
