  • Forecasting the future here is not an exact science, of course, yet the goal of the game. But I would say that we should give NOTural the credit (as any owner) he deserves for being able to vet a deal on his own. That being said- NOTural and I have discussed it and I'm going to withdraw the trade and we can try to rework it in light of this discussion.

    🦊 Godot's Last Stand on June 7, 2019 11:46 AM

  • I think that this is a great discussion about trade markets and the purpose of vetoes. I would say that all owners should propose speculative trades and expect back and forth from the owner proposed to. I feel trades (and the corresponding market) are a very fun part of the process. Vetoes should be about collusion and Favortisim (imho). Owners should absolutely keep an eye on the health and needs of their team (and probably know more than the league about what they need).

  • But Coleman IS the one who proposed it, so to look at differently is not dealing with the facts. Yes - I agree with you that this is a way to learn. I am simply saying I believe Noturals saw 4 guys for 2 guys and that was the end of it (more or less). And it's more a matter of Coleman's knowledge than his ranking for me. It's one thing to see Ryan Braun is doing well this year. It's another to know how likely that is to continue.

  • I disagree, Dave. True, Coleman may have more knowledge but he proposed the trade and N had as much access to all the metrics as Coleman. Had I made the trade, would it be as critiqued? Or is it a matter of Coleman's ranking/position? Plus, for us newbies, how else do we learn? I'm not trying to be flippant. As one of the members that is new to this concept (not just this league but Fantasy baseball as a whole) I have had quite the education these past few weeks.

    Sportsballs on June 7, 2019 11:37 AM

  • I don't think it is collusion or favoritism, but I think it is a very knowledgeable owner taking advantage of a less knowledgeable owner. (Taking advantage is a harsher term than what I mean, but I am not sure how to phrase it as I don't think Coleman set out to fleece anyone.) I think we should try to protect against that as well.

  • I approved the trade, and I did try and trade for Goldy earlier in the season , my comment was not meant to veto a trade. The league veto should, in my thinking, be used for blatant collusion or favoritism... that was not the case here I believe - just light value for a superstar and a player whose rise to MLB is still sometime off. That’s all .

    Eulipions on June 7, 2019 11:22 AM

  • I proposed the trade. Did anyone else try to get these players from NOTural for a better deal? If so then there is a problem here, of course, and collusion or favoritism absolutely should be vetoed. However, if not: maybe trade chatter and offers should increase a bit more in this league. N has had a limited squad since the draft so I expect he would have entertained deals that return volume. But N can speak for himself. (BTW- I've offered N the chance to reconsider in light of this discussion.)

  • You say Competitive Balance when we could be saying Trade Market. Sportsballs- sorry I missed your question. Answered in next post.

    🦊 Godot's Last Stand on June 7, 2019 8:41 AM

  • Everyone is, of course, free to do whatever they want, but I believe Coleman doesn't lose a single week the rest of the season if this trade goes through. That kind of impact is very bad for competitive balance. And while I agree this move helps Coleman this season - it also greatly helps him going forward as both Odorizzi and DeJong are young and cheap. So it's not a win now move - it's a win now and later move.
