ArtieBanks Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 That's the thing once he gets it going I will be taking him off the trading blocks. Its a shame my number one pick is my worst player currently. I knew I should have taken Goldschmidt lol Who picked up Eithier? I was going to but I already maxed out my acquisitions. If it makes you feel any better i am happy you took McCutchen, hopefully Puig is just out for 15 days and comes back to belt some homers for me, Alex Rios will hopefully get back into the swing of things also when he comes back.

At this point I'm kinda hoping he goes on the DL so at least I can sit him there until he is batting like his normal self. Although I fear his knee injuries may be a crucial part of the rest if his career. He sure won't be stealing many bases from here out.

The1rstSaint Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I am very happy to welcome Nelson Cruz to my team I see a lot more HR's and RBIs in my near future. Time will tell if I gave up too much for him but I wish McCutchen and hamels luck hopefully they can produce for you Deuce. Castro I will miss though The cubs need to move him up in the lineup.

That is the throw away team so I am only doing minimal managing for that team (actually nothing other then accepting or declining trades).

Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 That is the throw away team so I am only doing minimal managing for that team (actually nothing other then accepting or declining trades). I have a major issue with that. Each manager should run 1 team. A few pages back you said you were going to leave it up to us and both JLP and I strongly opposed allowing the "fake" team to make trades. The only reason that team even exists was so that we could have a balanced league and could start the draft on time. I really think you should undo that trade and leave that team alone. In my opinion integrity has been compromised here. McCutchen is no doubt hurt, Hamels is getting shelled and is on a bad team, and even with Castro playing way better than he is normally, those three do not equal a guy who's a potential triple crown candidate. I did not see the trade until today and only 1 day between acceptance and processing of the trade is too short to vote against a trade. Use your commish power and undo it please.

Yes because a 3 for 1 trade causes the integrity to disappear. I'll deal with it in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yes because a 3 for 1 trade causes the integrity to disappear. I'll deal with it in the morning. Trading from a team that is supposed to be on auto-pilot is the main issue... even if the trade is unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1rstSaint Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm fine with trading them back or cancelling it all together. I didnt know the circumstances of it, I just was looking at the player in general not the team he was on. Anyway though back to being stuck with McCutchen damn, damn, damn.

ArtieBanks Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I guess no one touches the guys on the waiver wire then and let the auto pilot team pick them back up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Everything has been fixed (minus Hamels). I'm not trying to be a dick.... but the trade needs to be the exact trade in reverse or else things are not put back the way they were. If Team Harris doesn't want Hamels, then after you get him back, drop him. And Danny Santana needs to either remain on Team Harris or be returned to the FA wire. In this format the "fake" team is getting both Hamels and Danny Santana for nothing. The "fake" team should not be adding, dropping, trading, etc. They should just sit there because they technically do not have a manager.

He can drop hamels only reason I did not add him to the trade is not because he sucks but because I have maxed out my acquistions with the remaining two players. Not sure how the transactions work on a trade when you have maxed out but I didn't want to chance it So the only thing that needs to be done now is Deuce drops Santana and Hamels and we are back to normal. And let it be known no more trades with this fake team. God forbid they win this whole thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I will try to sort everything out later tonight and see if i can reset the roster to before the trade. I am commissioner and i have spoken! (That was pretty fun to say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 As soon as the trade is processed I will move Hamels back and drop Santana back to FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 So i've come to the realization that I will never win the HR category so Pedro Alvarez and Mark Trumbo are on the trading block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtieBanks Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I made a trade for McCutchen, Longoria, Calhoun and Ortiz for McCutchen. I am now the proud owner of 3 of the first 4 draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me was worried about giving you another player of top caliber. But I needed something new not sure if I am keeping Ortiz for to long though but I like the additions of Calhoun and Longoria.

McCutchen was starting to hit a bit better in the past couple of games and he stole a base, so i figure his knee is starting to feel a bit better. I thought now would be the best time to try and tempt you with a trade, early in the season you wanted Goldy for him. So for me to get him for Calhoun, Longoria and Ortiz i thought was a good trade. I had Davis to cover 3rd base and Puig is coming back in the next week or so and McCutchen should give me the best outfield in baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
