Going to have to do something about all these trades. No way I can keep up with this many.

Ok I've decided with trades we are going straight dictatorship style. The volume of trades have been out of control, and I really can't keep up. So I will review them and if I think it's good it'll pass and if I don't it'll be rejected. I'm sure some people will get pissed but we are having 6-7 trades a day and it's a ton to keep up with.

why not just limit the amount of trades for in-season and off-season? I mean MOST MLB teams don't make more than 4-5 trades in a season and that is during a fire sale. A "selling" team, would probably make the 4-5 trades while a "buying" team would do MAYBE 2 moves to shore up some weak spots. It's a good thing that we have a solid core group of guys because all of these trades has pretty much ruined any shot of us filling a few of these teams in the future.

I mean at this point, we should have just done a fantasy draft. I have always looked at a franchise as a franchise. You build your team up to be good, not trade rape computer teams and build some super power in year one. It doesn't make it fun, and when the time comes for you to leave, nobody else will want to step up and take control of that team because they've been depleted of their superstars. Take for example the Angels. Who would want the Angels without Pujols, Hamilton, and Trout? A multitude of trades absolutely ruins franchises.

I have too many quality players for our league since we have no minor league system. And the computer fricked me with free agency when we simulated. I'm trying to get rid of money on my roster and go for players that will he on in 2-3 years. We may not even have a league then

Does anybody know if the fantasy draft is fixed for franchise?

I would be all for a restart with a fantasy draft. We now have some good users and pretty much know how everything works. We could set divisions that way and have some clear cut rules going in now that we all have a better idea of what's going on.

I don't care either way. The only time I play The Show is when i'm playing this franchise, so it's whatever to me.

I'd do it probably, but then all the time we've spent was just a total waste. I can draft tonight but it would be 8:30 at the earliest...so yea. We would probably be best just saying Sunday night.

It would be almost impossible for everyone to get on at one time
