True...but I've been accused of same in the past. I simply don't want anyone to think I would. I try and draft well and use the free agent market to improve my team, to me...if a trade is fair to both parties then the chance of really improving either team is slight...true, you can fill a need at a particular position but I find it more fun to pick up someone in the FA market who may have been overlooked...

Wow...one hour and forty minute ROTO draft for 14 teams x 25 positions, excellent job! Hope tomorrow's draft goes as well! Good luck to all playing!

Maybe we should start a ridiculous trade offer thread. This person (I think kid by the way he types) is offered me Andre Ethier, Pudge, Jauqes Jones and Reggie Willits for Matt Holiday, Michael Young and Josh Fields. Now I know why you wanted to keep this league closed to the public Somer.

A very similar trade was offered to me for Eric Byrnes and Manny Corpas. I'd give up the naming rights to my first born before I give up Byrnes. Not really, but it sounded good. I had to reject him and tell him Byrnes was off limits.

To me the offer was Lugo, Ethier, Pudge and J Jones for Fielder, Figgins, Jeter and Matsui but to be fair, he included a note saying he knew the trade was a ripoff he just wanted to know if I'd trade any of those mentioned.This is a perfect example of what can happen if someone isn't there to veto such crap.

I am pretty sure that there was no note on the FIRST offer, but then again I was laughing pretty hard and might not have seen it.
