2010 OKBJ Yahoo Fantasy League

[The Mick]

he goes from wanting Beltre and some closers for Pujols, to wanting my 5 best players....theres no middle ground eh

Make a counter then

[Scorpion]

Why would you want to trade the best player in baseball so badly? Maybe you can tell us what you need so we know what to offer you. Unless you're just trading for the sake of trading.

[The Mick]

I realise Pujols is the best player in the game undoubtedly, But the fact is he is a huge asset and my team has too many holes so basically Im looking to package him with another position player and one of my starters ( Edwin Jackson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Ryan Dempster or Randy Wells) The stats I'm in need of are Steals, OBP, SLG, and Saves. Feel free to make an offer, I would like to get a deal done asap so I can possibly make another deal to get the Selects ready for a run at there 3rd consecutive first place finish.

[The Game]

Um, we are all competing against each other. If someone wins the league by making unfair trades, where is the fun

Why is it my responsibility (or anybody's responsibility) to judge "fairness" and then tell others they can't make a trade if they want to do it?

The rest of the league just has to go out and try to make their own trades to counter it. That's the way it works in real life.

This is why any league I'm in, generally, I ensure that vetoing isn't allowed (of course, if there is evidence of collusion that's a different matter altogether).

that's fair enough, good thought process...i like your style sometimes.

If you had produced the consistency of the Selects you would understand. Not all of us can be a flash in the pan like you. Guaranteed You do not make the playoffs this year... I will even go as far as to bet my okbluejays.com forum signature on it. Interested in the bet, or are you already aware you dont have a shot at making it back to the playoffs?

I can't see your signature, but sure i'll accept your suggestion you Tracy Mcgrady of Fantasy Baseball you, with a slight twist though...your signature has to change to "Team Adam West Owns S.Selects"

If you finish ahead of me in the standings i will change it to whatever you would like. If I beat you however... You must change yours to something of my choice.

further ahead of you in the whole competition? sure i accept.

League standings mean nothing to me as long as i finish in the playoffs.

[Blacksheep]

Are you two talking finishing ahead of the other in the regular season only or do you both mean, whoever makes it further into the playoffs (assuming you both make it?). Just want to make sure the bet parameters are clear so we can have someone with an amusing signature lol.

[The Mick]

We will say final standings after the playoffs have concluded.. If your up to that.

I dont know any of these people personally, who am I to accuse collusion? Vetoing trades that are viewed to be one sidedis the only way that's fair.

Agreed, Sweet cheeks.

Hope everyone has their line ups set. Good luck to all.

The only thing that's fair is to allow people to make their own decisions.

for all I know, two teams could be controlled by the same person

[woodpecker]

yes, good luck to all!  see ya in the finals.  GO ICHIRO!
as for the current trade, it seems ok.  tis a long season and anything can happen.

Except they aren't. Such an assumption makes no sense.

It's not hard to make two accounts

It's not hard to make two accounts

If you are so completely paranoid that you actually believe that, why isn't that your rationale for vetoing every trade that you deem "unfair?"
