Coli Fantasy Baseball Keeper 2015 (Season 6) (Trading Season Is Here....apparently)

[HHR]

I'm gonna throw a real life scenario at you.

the Lakers, Pelicans, and Rockets all agree on a trade where Chris Paul goes to LA, Odom and pieces go to Pelicans, and Pau goes to Rockets.

Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers (not involved in the trade with his team) writes a letter saying the trade needed to be voted on by the other 29 owners since the Pelicans were owned by the NBA at the time.

The trade was vetoed by David Stern quoting "basketball reasons" even though the NBA had placed a GM to be in charge of basketball operations and player personnel.

I just wanted to bring that up because I still hate David Stern!

Now to your comment...

Just because two people agree to a deal doesn't mean that it's a fair deal.... some people are just fukking idiotic when it comes to trading or running a team... I've received trade offers from people wanting to take my top players and then I wouldn't have anyone to fill my positions because they would be giving me 4 pitchers for my 1B, SS, OF, 3B... If I firesold my team like I was thinking earlier I would've changed the landscape of the league because I had 40 offers, but I stuck with my team and am in 5th place right now... I've been doing fantasy sports for almost 18 years and I've learned that you need to have votes to keep people honest.... FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE LEAGUE! If you want the league to be just nonstop fukkery, then take away voting on trades and see what happens... I've seen the end result... it ends with starting a new league because then you will have collusion and no way to stop it... because if you were to go to commish review on trades then it's up to one persons biased opinion instead of majority rules and if that one person were to veto a trade after taking away the veto ability from everyone else it then you would be a giant hypocrite. Maybe the league should be changed in name to "The Coli Fantasy Baseball Dictatorship"

Again, not calling you or anyone else a hypocrite, I've let a lot of trades go through... I have vetoed 2 trades the entire year because they were not good trades... even if they were agreed on by both parties... that still does not make it a good or acceptable trade... sometimes the rest of the league has to protect owners that don't know what they are doing.

I don't think this league needs that.

A raise of vetoes would be a fine middle ground, imo.

Your personal opinion... I say make it a league vote to allow vetoes, do away with vetoes, or raise the veto number required in the offseason... The league has 14 people that paid money to be a part of it... everyone should get a say on their preference. I'm fine with whatever result... I'm just trying to be a voice of reason here

First off, can you please answer the offers I sent you

Secondly, I do think raising the veto number is the way to go. With the draft pick trading in this league, things are more complicated than other leagues.

We only have 13 teams though and 2 would be involved in the trade, so 10 seems high.

I'd prefer 8

And lastly, can you answer my offers now?

10 seems a little high to me though because some people are known to disappear or not pay attention for a few days at a time so it can be missed, I'd prefer 8 or 9 but not something I'm going to fight by any means.

And lastly, can you answer my offers now?

as I said... mulling them over... debating with myself on if I want to let one or two of those players go

 

[FaygoMI]

13 minus the 2 involved is 11.

So go with 9.

Feel free to counter if you want to make it a bigger deal

You know who and what I'm willing to give up along with what picks (basically the 5th, the extra 8ths and 9ths)

There should be a league vote on any rule changes

That's how we've always done it and even when we've voted on favor of something like the two NA spots it still wasn't changed

agree with this 100%


part of me was pissed the trade got vetoed and the other part completely understands why they vetoed it

 

[Joly]

I was mistaken, I thought it was a 14 team league lol. 10 or 11 sounds right to me. It really should be everyone against it.

So I get Bryce and he sprains his hamstring

Familia hurts his groin

And Tomas gets plunked

Fml

WTF?

How did a blue chip can't miss must own prospect like O'Brien get dropped?

Someone's scouting department needs an internal review.

This league would be boring without me.

Even my drops are newsworthy

 

[Kang Deezy]

[Kang Deezy]

The baseball gods want me in tank mode
