Did anyone else google what Pamprin's were? Just me?
-
I vetoed it. Cuz I like being a prick.
-
And yea, I got a lot of shit for that Machado trade at the time.
-
Agreed with all of that
-
I simply posted to ask owners to let somebody know your throwing the towel in first. At least get some other offers. Everytime somebody post something, get your feelings off your shoulders. Be objective and consider others views as well. And Rizz let brother walk his on sometime. Every time, you come running. We get it, you do whatever he says to do. My whole point ends with just vote. Have your own opinion.

They aren't rules. I use that as a basis to executively veto a trade—which I (among others in this league) think is fair. It's been done before for a trade that passed through (because of the abstain-ers), and the league in its entirety agreed with my decision.
-
Everyone values players differently or there would be no trades. So I think we have to trust that people are trying to improve their teams whether everyone agrees with the specific choices along the way.
-
I am approving the trade. It seems all of the arguments against this trade are about "value" and I don't think that there is any reason to veto it based on that. The guy you are saying lost the trade won the league last year and if you look at transaction history you can see he traded a $54 Hanley for a $4 Machado. At the time people probably thought that was poor value, but I'm sure everyone wishes they had a $20 Machado today.
-
I also said it was confusing. Why give up in May. And in May, prospects shouldn't be as heavy weighted considered criteria to get top impacting players for this season. Key word used was I THINK. I can't post my opinion in this league. No bitching or complaining. You must not understand what bitching actually is. Hell, I even followed up by saying enjoying the league. Big difference from Trade block post stating selling minors to selling studs. Recently traded player is not a comparison
-
Settle down there little brother. No need to defend your brother. No one is calling him out. No one is bitching. Can you read. Go back and read the post. I said my beef is with people voting one way or other. I never complained about the particular trade. My post was to state there are more than two soft rules why a trade should be vetoed. Where is the soft rules located in the Rules by the way. Maybe I missed it. You do understand you can't just create your own right
-
All I said was I didn't understand it, then the commissioner went all, "I lost my Pamprin!"
-

In my experience I don't need to defend myself means I know I can't.
-
I wasn't throwing insults, I starting a fact.
-
Sorry if I came off as a 'pissy dickhead' (?), but was clearly going to be a subject of conversation, and I wanted (am trying) to be as objective as possible. Speaking of, if your prerogative is to sling insults at opposing managers (this goes for Rizz as well), please shift that conversation to the private messages.
-
I prefer when my commissioners don't come off like pissy dickheads, but than that, ask I said was I didn't understand the trade.
-
I think it was a lopsided trade, but I don't think it creates competitive balance issues for the league in the long term. I voted to approve.

Look...more people bitching about a trade that hurts them. Color me shocked. If you want to do something, make a move to better your team.

Ok? There is a team that still has a recently-traded player on his (her?) block, yet you choose to single me out. If you don't like the way I play this game, please feel free to reach out to Niv on Twitter to discuss an alternative commissioner. And since you're clearly interested in evaluating other managers and their practices, yes, all of my prospects are available, regardless of the outcome of this trade.
-
Also if your looking for prospects, giving up this year, looking to deal prospects, put it out on the board or trade block. Kudos to Mudville and Phwww for at least making it known first. Beane still showing selling anyone in his minors.
-
Thank you.
-
For the interest of transparency, I've told Vom I will undo the trade if we are one veto short of an approval. So like Poof said, vote.
-
It is confusing though. Just 15 days ago, giving up prospects for Posey. Now trading that soon and still alive with weapons to compete. I really think prospect trades should be considered later in the year and closer to the deadline. And I just traded away prospects too. So, at least I'm being honest. lol. My beef isn't with the trades though. It's with VOTING. Either veto or approve. Pick one. Just my two cents. Enjoying the league though. Been fun.
-
I agree with Beane that those are the only two reasons to veto, and I don't think either happened here, so I have voted to approve.
-
And I agree with Poof entirely.
-
Like I mentioned earlier, it was an accidental approval on my part. If it's the swing vote I definitely want it overturned.
-
I think there are more reasons to veto a trade than that. Veto a trade if you feel like you should. Lopsided trades that impact the rest of the league in a noncompetitive manner should be a big reason as well. Not saying to veto it or approve it. Just saying vote something. Every trade in this league will go through because of the astained. VOTE SOMETHING. Vote what you believe is right. Have your own mind. I will say I hate to see teams giving up after a month.
-
I'm not going to justify whether it makes sense to someone or not. The 'soft' rules for trade vetoing are 1) if there is collusion and 2) if a player's inexperience was taken advantage of. If you feel either occurred, then please veto the trade.
-
It doesn't make sense to me.
-
Accidentally approved that last deal. Is it incredibly, unfairly lopsided or am I missing something?
