The fact that he is dropping a guy that just came off the DL and is owned by 97% or leagues. Just seems like a noob move to me.

Maybe or he might know something we don't? I would agree this trade does look like a bad move and something I would not make although heaven knows I could use all the help I can get with my band of misfits.

In the end time will tell whether this was a good move or not.

I see where everyone is coming from on this matter however I don't vote on trades. I feel that it is the responsibility of the owner to accept or deny the trade. If he likes the trade and makes it, great. He is still getting 3 players for one. Even if they aren't cream of the crop.

Also, Mark, where do I send the cigars for troops since you just eeked out that win against me?

hotreds · 04-29-2013, 02:02 PM

The trade veto was a provision to prevent lopsided deals towards the end of the season when it seemed obvious one person was trying to help another win. People get pissed when nobody is willing to trade and now a trade is vetoed. Go figure.

Mattso3000 · 04-29-2013, 04:34 PM

Like I said before, you were perfectly fine in this Hugh. Whenever I do a trade I always throw something out that is in my favor and expect it to get rejected and a counter offer sent back until a fair trade is hammered out. The only trade I would think of voting against would be one that could potentially damage league integrity. If everyone else is okay with this, then I am as well. Time forget about this and concentrate on getting my team out of the cellar and back on track!

Either Shilala or Hotreds handle the smokes for the troops. I usually send a box full at the beginning of the season to cover my bets (and then some) but you may want to just keep track and send in the box at the end of the season, assuming you make more bets.

shilala · 04-29-2013, 05:18 PM

I'm gonna go try to make me a deal.

Okay. I will keep track and send a box at the end....Thanks.

. I normally do not vote on trades till the end of the season if it is truly unfair. As for this trade, due to Trouts slow start I really don't think the trade was too unfair. The worst part I thought were the drops.

If both agreed, this early in season it should have gone through.

dman4505 · 04-29-2013, 10:51 PM

Just to set the record straight:

I'm not a noob at this I've been playing for quite a few years on Yahoo and ESPN I've finished first in a few leagues and also finished dead last in a few. So as the saying goes "This ain't my first rodeo"
I thought the offer was fair so I accepted it, believe me if I thought i was getting screwed in the deal it would have been rejected.
As to those that vetoed it that's your option and I don't take it personal.

I apologize for the incorrect assumption, Don. The trade you have with Hugh is much more even with Wieters involved.

Apology accepted
No one attacked me on a personal level, so all is good.

Now being a Cubs fan ... that's another story

At least the Blackhawks are doing well

And the Bulls....

mkarnold1 · 09-16-2013, 01:38 AM

Hey Shilala, how about a troop 5er on this week's playoff matchup? Maybe an extra 5 if one of us puts double digits (10 or more categories) on the other?

hotreds · 09-16-2013, 09:48 AM

Argh!

Wow, I thought I'd lose in the first round.
Actually I didn't think I'd make the playoffs until the end of the season when I started to win a little bit.
Hot Reds dominated the regular season as well as Mahtofire.
Shilala was strong all the way and did well, JLedou was awesome all the way!
The Mashers, Burglars, Torpedos, and the rest all did really well this year. Just remember it's for the troops and that's something we can all get behind!
Congratulations to everyone!
