I understand the humility and injuries and bad years etc etc. but I think you have a hell of a team, that will be competitive for a few years at least
-
Choo's, I appreciate the vote of confidence. Lots of good owners and strong teams in this league though and a two-time defending champ who crushed us last year. I'm certainly not counting any chickens before they hatch.

No malice. none I totally agree. there is a winning side to every trade, just because there was a winner here in this one, is not a justification for making these trades--I guess that was what I was driving at--just that having a winner on one side does not ipso facto make these valid....they are agreed upon by the league and valid in their own right
-
He totally does. You don't win this league in back to back years without one.
-
I do believe SABR may have a lair though. :)

I wasn't trying to declare the winner of the deal, just saying it ended up making sense for both sides. WTF looks like he's decided to go for it this season, so waiting for Appel makes less sense. If he had decided on a different strategy, it would've been justifiable to hold Appel. Just depends how each owner decide to build their team. That's one of the great things about Ottoneu. So many options at every point in time.

I agree that there was nothing malicious about it. The trade was justifiable from both sides, just because WTF moved on from Appel it doesn't mean he was ripped off.

There is no reason to think there was malicious intent in the trade. I had a prospect I was cutting and was simply seeing if anyone else thought he was worth the $7. Some people like certain prospects more than others. I think everyone is thinking way too deeply about the deal. I wasn't sitting in my lair developing a conniving master plan to rip someone off.

but it was a great trade and SABR was smart, so I get it. no one is going to win/lose the league because of these trades, so its no big deal, but who wouldn't want to have the option to pick a player for nothing before everyone else in the league does?
-
I get that SABR successfully jettisoned Appel. and WTF was the victim. Let me invert this for a moment--if you were WTF would u trade with SABR again? maybe, would you be super skeptical? I would. Its a $ league and we all want to win, but over time, if you try to take advantage of people, then eventually no one will be willing to step into the box. Hey, its fun to watch, but i don't want to be the guy that always wants to rip someone's face off in a trade--not that SABRs intent was that.
-
True, and Appel could still become Matt Harvey. But now he's been cut at $7, so SABR got off the hook for free while as it stands, WTF has a $4 cap hit. Plus SABR could now potentially re-acquire Appel cheaper. I'm not saying these deals always make sense, just that it now looks like this one did.

WARriors...and if the Appel trade had worked out that he turned into matt Harvey, that would have worked out really well for the other side and been an example for why these make sense....lets see how dee Gordon works out. and I would say that if anyone is ever looking to give away a player I want to be first on the list to contact!!! THE FIRST
-
So it looks like SABR's Appel giveaway is working out exactly how he envisioned...good league discussion on the issue of giveaway trades and a good example here of why in limited circumstances they may make sense. WTF also got the chance to execute a draft strategy and decide to go a different direction once he knew he ended up with a bit of cap space.
