VETO THIS!!!!!!!!

[Admin]

would like to but i wont.
seen other trades here that i didnt 'get'
prove cheating/collusion and it will be reversed.

sure would like an explanation tho...

[edit] forget the explanation. after looking at the resulting rosters, this years fa's, previous injuries, i'm ok with it. but at 1st glance its a big hmmmmmm.
lets let it play itself out. these things have a funny way of coming back and biting rear-ends.

Remember when everyone wanted to veto the josh hamilton for #1 pick (3rd overall) trade because hamilton was a 1 year wonder?

well, i ended up taking buchholz with that pick. yeah, i know.

dont veto anything.

[Admin]

hey sd, that was supposed to be in confidence.

[tfence]

Sorry then. I thought that was why you let the trade go through. If that isn't the reason then I don't mind. If that is, I am really mad

[Admin]

it goes thru because...
1) i'm not going to play 'trading god'
2) if we start to veto trades it becomes like yahoo and virtually nothing will be processed.
3) you cant legislate against 'questionable' trades.

i doubt if anyone would object to tex/kc 'adjusting' that trade...tho we cant force that.

YES YOU CAN, THAT IS THE COMMISH'S JOB!!!!!!!!
If this were another league with just random people, I'd say they were cheating.

Texas and I have agreed to cancel the trade all together. I'm asking the commissioner to void it out.

[Admin]

tex, you have to confirm this.

Void the Tex / KC trade

[Admin]

ok then its voided.

[dodgers]

I dont understand what is wrong with this trade.In a league like this it's not just about the players but also the Salaries and length of contract and the value you are getting.If I remember right KC did not pick his team (I think)because he joined late so he is only tryin to fix what he think needs fixing.Maybe in the future if trades are a problem they should be voted on(but I would hate to see that)I dont really like the idea of the "commish" deciding if its fair. Could someone explain to me what is unfair about this trade...

Any one that knows baseball know that Liriano is worth Milledge and Sonnestine.
