Veto? Extremely stupid trade/manager

[NWSoxaholic]

This is my first year as a commish, but I've played with all these guys last year. Here's the deal... you might wanna sit down...

Team A gets- Johan Santana

Team B gets- John Maine, George Sherrill, and Ryan Church
(and drops Edwin Encarnacion and Chris "Smashed in the face by Pujols" Young)


The guy running team B is that guy who can't sit still for a week and once he's in the basement starts adding and dropping like a madman. The guy who runs Team A just offers up really crappy deals to guys like Team B (we're all work buddies, so colusion is a possibility). Thanks, WHIR

It's really not that crazy. As of a week ago, Santana had basically identical stats to Maine. And Sherrill and Church are both playing really well right now.... heck, if I needed a couple holes filled, I'd do that deal.

I'd veto that deal only because Matthias said he wouldn't.

Just kidding. Nothing wrong with this.

Hold on. If noseeum says no veto, then I say veto for competitive balance.

Something I didn't mention earlier is that it's not like Maine is a nobody who should fall to Earth, either... he's been a pretty good young player who had a sizzling spring training. There are some instances where I would be circumspect in looking at the trade... Albert Pujols for Ryan Ludwick, say, but all the players received by Player B are the real deal.

Cool- you know, once I posted this I started going back and looking at it and was kind of thinking the same thing. The more I thought about it, I actually think team B might be getting the better deal since it's H2H and so far with the way things are going good relievers are becoming more important. I guess what really gets me is the guy who is getting Johan has been complaining when I get trades done, but it's because I put out fair trades, where he just tries to screw people over. This may actually come back to bite him in the a$$. Thanks everybody.
