Posted July 16, 200817 yr comment_10293 I decided to take a que from Jason and sent out a couple league emails. Here they are: 1st email I have to admit that I am getting kind of disgusted with the trade offers that are coming my way. Even if I was dumb enough to accept them, they would never pass thru. The only person that actually sends legitimate offers is the guy in first place. They arent perfect but he includes real players, not just soon to be FA. Nobody even makes counter offers or comments as to why they reject something. 3 trades made this yr and nobody is even close to catching the first place team. So everybody keep thinking they have a perfect team and maybe Joe will buy us all ice cream in October with his $1600. I am still giving it a shot to comeback but I am looking to change things up. Bottom line is, I am willing to deal and I am not looking forward to trading Mr. St Pierre the players he wants but he is the only one not afraid to deal off something to improve his team. Good luck to everybody in the 2nd half. 2nd Email Here's an idea. When you update your trading block, it might be a good idea to put what you are looking for. Everybody always adds players to the block and then have no needs. How retarded is that? If you have no needs then why are you looking to trade.
July 16, 200817 yr comment_10294 I sent an email telling everyone I am done trading becuase the guy I was trading for hamilton and fielder from randomly dealt them both to other teams right after hours of us negotiating and me thinking we were about to get a deal done. I am sick of the NONSENSE OFFERS such as the ones you're referring to also. The guy with arod (one who stole him from me last week by doing a deal when mine was protested) claimed he was only trading for arod to deal him to ME. Now it turns out he was lying and is asking an insane asking price. He wants Santana or Peavy AND lackey for arod and crap. The guy with hamilton dealt hamilton straight up for harden and fielder straight up for sheets instead of dealing them both to me for cliff lee and john lackey. For me he claimed he needed Peavy or Santana in the deal if he was to deal BOTH of them. Injusy prone Sheets and Harden aren't as good as cy young Lee and former cy young Lackey! And sure aren;'t close to Peavy and Santana! Either way we had deals on the table and were going to get some done and so now for the SECOND time in a week I lose my players because of protests. I had already dealt lackey for hamilton!
July 17, 200817 yr Author comment_10297 If you think Lee and Lackey are better then Santana or Peavy, then why wouldnt you have made the deals?
July 17, 200817 yr comment_10298 No clue what you're talking about. I didn't say they were better than Santana and Peavy. (although you definitely overrated those two. Santana is freakin 8-7 for crying out loud)

For me he claimed he needed Peavy or Santana in the deal if he was to deal BOTH of them. Injusy prone Sheets and Harden aren't as good as cy young Lee and former cy young Lackey! And sure aren;'t close to Peavy and Santana! I would have dealt Peavy for Fielder.
July 19, 200817 yr Author comment_10319 i would have done that. Hernandez first then Lackey. If Peavy and Hernandez would get you arod id also do that. A mid level started should also come your way with arod.
July 19, 200817 yr comment_10322 Only starter offered with arod was a bad one. Also now I am not dealing Lackey or Hernandez after they once again had dominant starts today.
