I don't know if Jum is a dick, but he sure comes off like one. And the fact that he acknowledges people will be pissed off suggests he knows this transaction is not legit. We all recognize that high-salary stars/cap room are traded for prospects in ottoneu - that's not the issue - it's both the value of the return and the lack of transparency here. I'm not suggesting there was overt collusion, but I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) CGT and Jum know each other.
-
I honestly thought I was trading away Albies. So everyone knows, Jum offered the trade, I accepted, certainly wasn't going to pass it up. There wasn't any collusion....Jum just likes to trade. You guys can (and I certainly wouldn't blame you) veto it down. I think the way McMahon is hitting, he'll easily be a top 100 prospect fwiw.

Massive impact on the league.

I'm currently the #3/4 team in the league and Darvish is better than any pitcher on my roster (fantasy points). Lindor is arguably the best SS in baseball - yes he is "struggling" at #7 with 14 HR etc. in return you get a defensive light hit SS and McMahon is the #15 or #9 prospect (depending on your source) in the ROCKIES SYSTEM not in MLB. And you give up $55 to a team that could not afford to carry those players. I just don't get it and I hope people VETO it. Massive impact on the l
-
Cool, yeah, Lindor is the #7 SS for the year. I said he had a big first month. Then he had a so-so 2nd month. And he was horrible in June. Maybe he'll turn it around again. Maybe he won't.

Lindor is the #7 SS and Darvish is the #8 SP overall in our scoring. Arcia is a glove first SS that has never hit and was only a prospect for his defense. McMahon is a non top100 prospect that is blocked in the majors. Plus you gave money, a lot of money. These are all facts with no opinion added by me.
-
I don't blame you guys, though. I'd be pissed at me, too.

I liked the deal. I'm not apologizing for it. If it gets vetoed, it gets vetoed. It won't break my heart. Honestly, I meant to include Zobrist in the deal and forgot to check him. I was going to cut him for more salary relief. My bad.

I've got other players available. If you want them, then make an offer. If you don't have young players or you're not making them available, then you're probably not getting a stud. That's pretty consistent in an ottoneau league.

Ok, I'll go further. Lindor has sucked this year minus the first month. I thought he'd improve on last year, but now I don't think he will. Who's going to trade for Lindor? Nobody, unless I pay the salary. I like Arcia. A lot. Maybe I'm wrong about him. I guess we'll find out. Darvish has been decent, but he certainly hasn't been elite. He'll have some good games, yeah. I think McMahon's going to be a Coors Field stud. Maybe he won't. I guess we'll find out.

McMahon and Arcia are both going to be awesome. If you want players, then make an offer.

contacted and sounds like the remaining teams in the top 4 other than CGT were also not contacted. I have no problem with Jum rebuilding and if this was the best exchange he could get, that would be one thing - but appears that's not the case.
-
I was also surprised by this trade. Arcia was a top prospect and is only 22, and McMahon is having a strong year and could play in Coors, but Arcia has shown very little (Lindor is only a year older) and McMahon is not a Top 100 prospect. Mainly, though, I'm curious if Jum shopped these players to anyone else? If you're going to make a possibly league-altering trade, and it's truly arm's-length, don't you at least make some effort to look for the best deal? Maybe he did - but I wasn't . . .
-
That trade is ridiculous guys. I honestly don't understand it. Jum is giving up Darvish and Lindor, paying $55 and getting back a AAA player and a shortstop who is below league avg (I know because I just traded him). First trade I've ever vetoed. Seriously?
-
Really?

yeah

Anyone have a SS to spare? someone that gets regular playing time, just need a backup. Have OF and 2B and prospects to spare, but prefer to move an OF or 2b

All - For years I have been having difficulty keeping mental separation of my 2 ottoneu teams, so I made an overdue name change to one. Perhaps it will improve my fortunes here. Although with 5 solid starters on DL, not sure there's much to be done. Waiting on them all to come back and make a tear up the standings (ha).

Check out the spits drop down menu at the top of the lineup page next time you change your lineup.

I think you should try the "no pitchers" method for a while, speedwagon. OR, try to pick pitchers that will give up homers. Only the smartest owners can pick pitchers who give up home runs.

If anyone needs any lineup advice, let me know, Iām an expert. Take yesterday: Offense starters = -13.50; Offense bench = 80.40. Takes much more than luck for numbers like those.

Rob......I think you should try that (no pitchers) and let us know. Meanwhile, I'd be willing to take Lester and Davis to help you out.....
