So to be clear I am new and perhaps I'm not seeing an aspect of this that others are. That being said I wanted to reshape my team in my own vision. Trout could have been a part of that but Buxton has a potentially bright future that, when you combine with other pieces in the trade, creates a young, cheap base for me to build off of and possibly compete next year and beyond. I don't need the cap space as I'm out of contention so sending a loan doesn't particularly bother me.
-
Jesper - to address your specific point about loans and cap space... I think it's pretty common across the Ottoneu platform to trade loans/cap space. It helps to facilitate trades between contenders looking to make a run at the title, and non-contenders looking to trade big contracts for prospects/youth. I don't have an issue with including loans, like what happened in the most recent trade.
-
Of course you should use the cap space, but then it must also be arguments for why.

Decent amount of talk on vetoes lately. My personal thoughts are that I would not veto a trade unless I suspected collusion. The great thing about Ottoneu is that there are many different ways to assess value. So as long as both teams are trying to make a trade to benefit their own teams (with no collusion involved), it's all good with me even if I don't think it's "fair."
-
I'miss not understanding what you're trying to say at all. Are you saying teams shouldn't trade cap room?

First, I have a fundamental issue with people broadcasting a veto in advance because I think the voting should be completely blind. I respected that you held the comment on my trade until after the deal was completed for this reason. To your point- I'm a little unclear on whether you think that a person shouldn't be able to overpay for elite talent, whether the return wasn't sufficient, or whether the money moving hands is ridiculous. Regardless I see nothing outside of the rules.

I would like to know what the league Commish thinks of this, but also all others.

I will veto against this trade for the same reason I rejected Mr. Meseeks proposal, which was the day before he abandoned his team. The proposal was Mike Trout $ 62, Troy Tulowitzki $ 47, James Shields $ 18 and $ 94, Jose Fernandez, $ 28, and Kyle Schwarber $ 5. What I primarily object to is the way to use the cap space. It is difficult to give arguments for Trout and Cabrera would be worth $ 30 when they give 7.52p / g and 8.58p / g.

Why would you veto those trades? They don't come anywhere close to warranting a veto.

You don't have to explain, I just vetoed them
-
Assuming you are talking about me. I'll explain my rationale if I have to, but I feel like it will undermine what I'm trying to do.

These last 2 trades seem a little weird. I've never vetoed a trade before.

Hello All my name is Robert and I just claimed Meseeks team. I'm willing to discuss any and all players on my roster as I try to retool this team in my own image. I'm willing to take on bad contracts if I can gain players/prospects I like and/or loan out what remaining salary I have left to facilitate a deal or deals. Please feel free to e-mail or send offers. Thanks!
-
Sorry to see you go Mr. Meseeks. For anyone considering picking up the team, this is a very active league that hasn't had any participation issues in the 3 years I've been involved.

Hi all. Given my disappointing season and the fact that I am looking to pare down my fantasy leagues (I'm in ten total), I'm going to abandon my team. If you have friends who want in, let them know. I think I still have a pretty good core for someone to build on. Thanks for the fun these past couple of years, and I hope you all continue to have fun here. Cheers!

Ha - I'm in the same boat with Tyson Ross. Hoping the Padres just keep him!

Any new park is likely to be a downgrade for Jay Bruce. But for the love of God please don't trade him to the Mets.

Hello database error. Normally I'd complain but it dropped Drew Hutchinson and his -46 to my bench.

Chase Headley is only available for civility and understanding...or an outfielder. Do you have an outfielder?
-
But you have to throw in some proper punctuation.
-
I will trade you some forum decorum for Chase Headleyď
-
I hear Chase Headley might be available.
-
That is some aggressive pimping indeed.
-
Ha - seriously Monsters, I think if you refresh the homepage after posting a message, it re-posts it again and again.
-
Lol. If I had any chance of making a deal it is probably now gone. Sorry about that. I swear I only sent it once.
-
For some reason, my sub-conscious is telling me that I should trade one of my OFs. Maybe for a guy that plays for the Yankees...and rhymes with Space Breadley.
-
Since we are using the board to pimp players. Chase headley is available for an outfielder.
