Is this a fair trade? WHIR

[money]

I'm the Commissioner in an 8 team yahoo head to head league with standard scoring. We've got four active managers, two kinda active managers, and then two managers that rarely get on. This trade involves an active manager and a manager who rarely gets on.

Team A (active manager, 2nd place) Gives:
Roy Halladay
Michael Pineda
Andre Ethier
Jason Heyward

Team B (rarely active manger, last place 45 GB) Gives:
Ryan Braun
Andrew McCutchen
Max Scherzer
Anibal Sanchez

Team A:
C: Miguel Olivo
1B: Gaby Sanchez
2B: Robinson Cano
SS: Elvis Andrus
3B: Kevin Youkilis
OF:Josh Hamilton (he just traded Jared Weaver straight up for him)
OF: Andre Ethier
OF: Jason Heyward
Util: Adrian Beltre

Bench:
Michael Cuddyer, Jhonny Peralta, Daniel Murphy

DL: Carl Crawford

SP: Jhoulys Chacin
SP: Scott Baker
RP: Houston Street
RP: Sergio Santos
P: Craig Kimbrel
P: Brian Wilson
P: Roy Halladay

Bench: Tommy Hanson, Michael Pineda, Clayton Kershaw

DL: Erik Bedard

Team B:
C: Mike Napoli
1B: Prince Fielder
2B: Brandon Phillips
SS: Alexei Ramirez
3B: Aramis Ramirez
OF: Ryan Braun
OF: Carlos Gonzalez
OF: Andrew McCutchen
Util: David Ortiz

Bench: Starlin Castro, Mike Stanton, Colby Rasmus

SP: Yovani Gallardo
SP: Anibal Sanchez
RP: J.J. Putz (on DL, but still sitting in line up)
RP: John Axford
P: Kevin Correia
P: Gavin Floyd
P: Max Scherzer

Bench: Chad Billingsley, Francisco Liriano, A.J. Burnett

The trade got vetoed by league votes and team A thinks it was a fair trade. I'm looking to get some more opinions on it. What I don't understand is that team B got on to accept the trade, but then left JJ Putz who is on the DL in his lineup at RP. He also left two guys on the bench that were pitching the next day. It's like all he did was get on, accept the trade, and then didn't care about anything else. So what do you guys think?

Thanks, and I really appreciate it! Don't forget to leave your link!

I've seen worse trades, but I would rather have what team A is getting, so sure he is upset that it got vetoed.

The deal itself seems relatively fair. The fact that the manager is hardly ever on, managed to accept the trade, but not adjust his lineup is pretty fishy. Really is a tough call, however in terms of "fairness" the deal seems legit.

I think it is pretty fair.

One team gives pitching, and the other gives hitting.

It all depends on what the league rewards more heavily. If it's a heavy hitters league, then it could be considered an unfair trade, especially since the guy that accepted is very inactive, and does not update his lineup ever.

This is not veto worthy. Although I'd probably prefer to have McCutchen and Braun I equally would rather have Halladay and Pineda. No sign of collusion here. Just a knucklehead that wants to stir the pot a bit. Tell your other managers to stop crying.

[kaiser]

I agree that this trade seems reasonably fair, and should not be subject to veto, unless there is proof of collusion.

Help here?
