I guess it's 4 quarters for 1$ (money Wise - a couple od dollars differential, power - Trout vs Harper (either one), Syndergaard is better than Ray, the rest is peanuts, so I approved 100%

Thoughts on this trout trade? Not necessarily opposed to it but curious about others' opinions given the names/salaries involved

With Daniel Murphy going to the Rox, his value has spiked and I'm going to keep him, but also willing to listen to offers!

It's the owner's opinion / judgement. I think most of us on this platform can be trusted that they have a rhyme or reason for their actions - and we all can agree or disagree on what that is. I don't mind the vetoes. I dislike vetoes (from previous leagues) when it's motivated by trying to keep a status quo. I don't think the vetoes will come from that same place in this league. I think people will have genuine insight/feelings and should be allowed to express it.
-
No, I'm with you. I just wanted to use that same trade referenced because it supports both point of view. From a surface level, I can understand where people may disagree with that deal (or any deal) but we all can also agree that we have different values/expectations/projections for different players. We all may be high on someone that others are not, and vice versa. There is no immediate, definitive winner / loser in a trade where you're buying something unproven.
-
Totally agree, I'm not saying that there was no rationale at play for you to do that deal pumpkin.
-
$10 to cut. Small amount, but a net positive (at the very least), all things considered....Point being - I’m ok w/vetoes (people are entitled to their opinion) but I think everyone here, in all likelihood, has some kind of rationale for what they’re doing. Esp this time of year. I don’t think (or hope) people live and die off Steamers projections to evaluate off-season deals & add some form of common sense human element to their line of thinking.
-
If we use the trade you referenced, with Colome. I was interested in “upside” guys. What people had to offer wasn’t very good compared to my expectations of a guy who consistently puts up 500+ points as a RP & had moved to a team that may give him more opportunities to improve (if he closes at all). McMahon is mildly overpaid for his upside but has the upside I was seeking. I’ll be in a position where I can overpay on a few guys & in the meantime I insured an opponent did
-
I don’t mind the vetoes. I agree, I always see it as more of an opinion. “This trade, I feel, is a bit lop-sided.” If 5 others feel that way & do the same - isn’t that the point? In saying that, this is a more advanced league. I don’t suspect anyone is here w/o an opinion of their own or a strategy of their own when making a deal.
-
and just to be clear, that doesn't mean that I am vetoing trades just because I think one side "won". I almost always approve trades where I think that one side got more out of it but the difference isn't enormous.
-
Overall, that trade is still fairly low stakes, as colome isn't going to make or break a team, so it didn't seem worth bringing up on the message board. But it still struck me as extremely one sided, hence the veto. Given the extremely low frequency with which trades are actually overturned by veto (I think ive seen it happen once in 6-7 years playing ottoneu), I don't see anything wrong with using a veto as a mark of disapproval for a very (and I stress very) one sided deal. Just my two cents!
-
I veto occasionally on trades that I see as far and away benefitting one team way more than the other, but it's not an indication that I think there is collusion or anything unsportsmanlike happening. For example, I vetoed the Colome trade because I saw it as a trade of a useful player (Colome) for two players that I think are definite cuts in the eyes of 95% of owners (Murphy and McMahon, especially $13 McMahon)....

Totally agree with Moneyballs, didn't realize how many veto votes there have been so far this offseason. As far as I can tell, everyone here is trying to win the league, so I think it can be assumed that every trade is made in good faith. If you don't think so, then call out the party you think is acting nefariously and let them try to defend themselves!

There seems to be one veto for every trade so far. Maybe it's just gamesmanship, but I hope that if anyone feels strongly enough to veto a trade that they bring it up as a discussion on the message board. Personally I'll only veto a trade if I think there's collusion, or if somebody who publicly quits decides to start trading :) Trades that may appear to favor one side are the nature of trades and should not be vetoed.

Trying to move Arrietta before the deadline. He's a little overpaid, but should be a good source of IP.
