How does this NOT get vetoed?

[ABA316]

6x6..Avg, HR, RBI, SB, Runs, Hits.

Team 1 gets Berkman and Brandon Phillips
Team 2 gets Derrek Lee

Team 2 also has Brian Roberts and Team 1 has Bonifacio at 2b so I wouldn't have any issue if it was Lee/Phillips. Seems like Team 1 gets Berkman for free.

I will concede that I don't have a tremendously high opinion of Derrek Lee, just don't think he's so fabulous other than his 2005 campaign. That said I don't think it's my bias that makes me think this is ridiculous.

Thanks for the help....

Well, I'm not a big fan of vetoes personally, unless you really think collusion is happening. I usually don't like to save dumb owners from themselves...

That said, this is definitely a very unbalanced trade. I think Berkman is better than Lee, though even if you consider them even, the other guy got a Top 3 2B-man as well. I'd agree the league has a right to at least look into this one.

Agreed on not being a big believer in vetoes, but if something is truly that terrible I think the league best interest should also be considered.

On an aside, the commish is the one receiving Berkman and Phillips.

If not vetoed, get the hell out of the league. Reeks of collusion.

I am not a big fan of vetoes either, but there is a reason vetoes are in the rules and it is for trades like this one.
