I don't want you to end the league because I got a little mad, I'm sorry, I apologize.

Nice to see you here. I must say, I was pretty shocked at your reaction. All I'm trying to to is keep things fair and competitive.

It was an absurd statement, the trade was only accepted because it favored me. James and I had discussions for 2 days to try and get a deal done, he badly wanted Reynolds and I wanted Trout but that's clearly far from a deal.
I thought adding Santana instead of Weeks balances it much more out, considering I had Santana as #1 C on my big board, and I don't really have a way to replace a top notch catcher.

Anyways, I'm looking to trade for a third basemen, everyone is on trade block except Justin Upton, I'm looking to trade either an OF or SP preferably.

I'm just not convinced that such a small sample size justifies sitting rid of a high end first round pick. Should minimally have a third rounder as part of it to make it legit IMO.

Machado is expendable on my team, and I could use either a SP or OF, so send me an offer if you're interested in him.

I need to get some feedback from the league as a whole to figure out whether or not we should keep the FG involved or give refunds and make it a free league. Numone was going to be giving refunds at some point today, so we need to figure this out ASAP.

I need Machado, no idea who you want.
Lawrie sucks, not trading him though lol
I'd prefer to trade a SP

Why are you considering refunding in the first place?

You guys should stop looking at only names and draft positions in a trade.

Edit: And you seem to be the only one talking about making it a free league?

taking what a player has accomplished in 2 weeks is a retarded way to judge a trade too.

trout is a 1st round pick and barring an injury, will finish top 25overall on the player rater by seasons end because of how much he brings to the table fantasy-wise.


braun is/was struggling atm, does that mean i should trade him for clay bucholz?

Sophomore slump. He could have an awful year, anyone could.
Mark Reynolds could end with 50+ hr.. baseball isn't predictable.
I see where you are coming from though.
Also, I have Buchholz and he's not for trade, lol.

an aweful year for trout would still be a top 50player.

hes gonna steal 25+bags and hit 15homers

hes hitting atop that lineup, so hell will score 80+ runs

even if he hits .250, thats still top 50 players overall, and i doubt he will fill the "worst case scenario" roll

trout could bust
reynolds could hit 50+
john lackey could win 20+
ryan howard could win MVP

but u cant base decisions on these tiny possibilities with such a small sample size
