re: 2011 TDBL Keeper Thread

I would like to trade a 1B for an OF. Would be willing to include Ubaldo for a 2-2 or 2-3 type deal. Hit me up if interested.

I'm not even around him. I read the thread this morning at work about Honkus getting picks for free and was kind of baffled that it was going on.

Then when I got home, I searched for the original thread and saw that you had said you wouldnt be giving the picks back. I assumed that meant giving picks away similar to what was done today. I guess it's different if you ask.

I am more than willing to put it up to a vote if you think it's that big of a deal. Since it's a new rule, it would only require majority to pass.

I would word it like this.

Is it ok to trade draft picks for nothing in return? The trade would still be required to go through a voting process just like any other trade.

Just say the word and I'll do it. I'll also start a separate poll to potentially veto the outstanding trades that are pending now.

I'll honor any request for voting that any owner puts out there. Always have. Always will.

Look redd, I'm not trying to give you a hard time about this shite. I was just trying to clear things up since we had talked about it 4 months ago. At that time, it seemed pretty cut and dry to me that there was no way to get picks back. I was missing 6.. count em 6.. draft picks. I went through the traditional (and fair, IMO) means to acquire those said picks back. Take a look at my trade transaction page. I worked hard and made some deals that I wasn't necessarily excited about making. But I knew I had to get those picks back. I didn't ask for someone's extra picks, for I thought that was over and done with.

We all consider this the best, most competitive fantasy baseball league. But then DATBL-like bullshite like calling for redrafts for the new owners and now giving them free picks just because their team sucks jeopardizes the competitiveness and "build your own keeper team the traditional way" mantra that we should follow. It's a keeper league. You are only as strong as your team. Work needs to be done to improve it, that's the challenge. We do enough to cater the shitty owners through the draft. They chose to be shitty year in and year out.. to not answer trade offers, to not scour the waiver wire, to not interact with other owners for trades, to not set their lineups etc. What are gonna do to improve it without the "government handouts"? Here it is, let's see what you can do.

I don't think less of you for getting to sleep in, Les. Do you.

I think we need to put something in place that if you trade a pick, you should get one in return. I think it's reasonable and it should put an end to this crap.
